Evaluation of Antithrombin Deficiency in Patients of Intensive Care Unit Placed on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Completed
Conditions
Severe Cardiac Insufficiency
Registration Number
NCT04133844
Lead Sponsor
Rennes University Hospital
Brief Summary

Prospective, monocentric, non-interventional study in patients placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

Detailed Description

Our hypothesis is that ECMO initiation is responsible for a severe decrease of antithrombin level in a high proportion of patients who develop heparin resistance.
