Investigating left ventricle unloading during extracorporeal life support

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This international multicentric observational study aims to collect and analyze clinical data from patients undergoing veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA ECLS) in various ICUs. The focus is on understanding left ventricular (LV) overload during VA ECLS and exploring different strategies for LV unloading. By comparing these strategies, the study seeks to determine their efficacy and impact on patient outcomes. The research addresses a critical issue in managing cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest, which are associated with high mortality rates.
