Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Prophylactic FFP Administration on ECMO Circuit Longevity (NCT NCT01903863)

NCT ID: NCT01903863

Last Updated: 2017-06-27

Results Overview

The primary endpoint is the ECMO pump longevity (measured in hours). The life of the circuit was defined as start of that circuit to circuit change or decannulation from ECMO for each patient. Circuit life was measured in hours

Measure
Scheduled Fresh Frozen Plasma
Patients enrolled in this arm will receive scheduled fresh frozen plasma treatment every 48 hours. Fresh frozen plasma: Fresh frozen plasma is a pooled blood product containing both pro and anticoagulation factors. Patients enrolled in the intervention arm will receive scheduled fresh frozen plasma treatment every 48 hours. Patients in the control arm will receive fresh frozen plasma per current institutional standard of care. This includes supplementation for clotting/bleeding diatheses, or volume replacement.
Control
Patients in this arm will receive fresh frozen plasma per current institutional standard of care. This includes supplementation for clotting/bleeding diatheses, volume replacement, or after 3 red blood cell transfusions in a 24 hour period. Fresh frozen plasma: Fresh frozen plasma is a pooled blood product containing both pro and anticoagulation factors.
