Monitoring carbon dioxide levels in patients on VA-ECMO

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 study evaluates the effectiveness of continuous transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring in patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). It aims to compare non-invasive transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurements with traditional blood gas analysis to improve monitoring accuracy. Participants will have their carbon dioxide levels measured simultaneously through various methods over a four-hour observation period. The study also records additional physiological parameters to assess the overall condition of the patients.
