  Recruiting Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital · New Taipei City · NCT07807046

• Super-Early Neuroprognostication in eCPR Patients

  This observational study tests whether rapid brain-status measurements taken early after ECMO initiation can help predict neurological outcomes in adults considered for eCPR.

  Recruiting Medical University of Vienna · Vienna · NCT07584187

• Personalized lung volume optimization with PEEP titration for children after heart surgery or with severe respiratory failure

  This trial tests whether a personalized lung volume optimization maneuver using PEEP titration can improve heart and lung function in children after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery or in those with severe respiratory failure at risk for ECMO.

  Recruiting Phase 1/2 Charite University, Berlin, Germany · Tübingen · NCT07193719

• Early intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use after venoarterial ECMO for cardiogenic shock

  This test will see if adding an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) soon after starting VA-ECMO helps adults with cardiogenic shock survive and recover better.

  Recruiting Beijing Anzhen Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT06872021

• Using Nafamostat for better ECMO management

  This study is testing if using Nafamostat with a lower dose of blood thinners can help improve safety and outcomes for adults on ECMO due to severe breathing problems.

  Recruiting Beijing Chao Yang Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT06676085

• Comparing blood transfusion thresholds in patients on ECMO

  This study tests whether giving fewer blood transfusions is safe and effective for adults on ECMO compared to giving more transfusions.

  Recruiting at 13 sites Academisch Medisch Centrum - Universiteit van Amsterdam (AMC-UvA) · Vienna, State of Vienna and 13 other locations · NCT06560164

• Comparing standby and prophylactic ECMO during high-risk heart procedures
