Platelet Function During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Adult Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary aim is to describe platelet function in adult patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A clarification of the platelet function in these critically ill patients contributes to an understanding of the mechanisms underlying their coagulopathy.
The present study is a substudy to the study entitled; "Coagulopathy During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation" (pending Clinical Trial ID number).

Detailed Description
The knowledge of platelet function during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) remains sparse. In the present study, the aim is to investigate platelet function in adult patients treated with ECMO using flow cytometry. The investigators hypothesize that platelet function increases from day 1 to day 3 in patients treated with ECMO. The secondary aim is to investigate the association between platelet function and the incidence of bleeding episodes and thrombosis during ECMO treatment.
The present study is a substudy to the study entitled; "Coagulopathy During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation" (pending Clinical Trial ID number).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Changes in platelet function [Platelet function measured day 1 and day 3 on ECMO]
Platelet function on day 3 compared with day 1 on ECMO. Measured by flow cytometry
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Changes in platelet aggregation [Platelet function measured every morning from day 1 to day 8 on ECMO (except weekends).]
Comparison of platelet aggregation measured by whole blood impedance aggregometry (Multiplate).
- Immature platelet count [Measured every morning from day 1 to day 8 on ECMO (except weekends)]
Estimation of platelet turn-over measured by a blood analyzer (Sysmex)
- Platelet count [Measured every morning from day 1 to day 8 on ECMO (except weekends)]
Estimation of platelet count measured by a blood analyzer (Sysmex)
