About this study

Official title: Coagulation Monitoring in Patients on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Hämostaseologisches Monitoring Bei Patienten Mit Extrakorporaler Membranoxygenierung

Coagulation disorders are on top of the list of extracorporeal-membrane oxygenation (ECMO) complications. They contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality of ECMO patients. This observational study aims to evaluate coagulation profiles of ECMO patients treated on the intensive care units of the Department of Anaesthesiology of LMU Munich.

Coagulation disorders are on top of the list of extracorporeal-membrane oxygenation (ECMO) complications. They contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality of ECMO patients. This observational study aims to evaluate coagulation profiles of ECMO patients treated on the intensive care units of the Department of Anaesthesiology of LMU Munich. Adult ECMO patients are included in the study after informed consent.

Bleeding and thromboembolic complications as well as treatment details are recorded. Additional coagulation laboratory markers (such as von-Willebrand-factor, ADAMTS13-protease, platelet function tests and thromboelastometric tests) are correlated with clinical signs of bleeding. Regular ultrasound examination of the large vessels are performed to Screen for thrombosis.

    Measured: after starting ECMO therapy - up to 28 days after starting ECMO therapy

  2. platelet function parameter

    platelet function test

    Measured: one week after ending ECMO therapy

  3. coagulation parameter

    thromboelastometric test

    Measured: after starting ECMO therapy - up to 28 days after starting ECMO therapy

  4. coagulation parameter

    thromboelastometric test

    Measured: one week after ending ECMO therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coagulation and Hemorrhagic Disorders and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Complication, run by Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

platelet function parameter (time frame: after starting ECMO therapy - up to 28 days after starting ECMO therapy). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Apr 2022.
