Summary

This trial aims to compare different methods of diagnosing acute compartment syndrome (ACS) in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). ACS is a condition where a limb, like an

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 on VA-ECMO who are sedated. It's designed to help those at risk of acute compartment syndrome, a condition where limbs lose blood flow often due to ECMO itself.
What is being tested?
The study compares three methods for diagnosing ACS in ECMO patients: standard care alone, standard care with continuous pressure monitoring using the MY01 device, and standard care plus a traditional needle method (14-gauge slit catheter).
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort or pain from the pressure monitoring devices, possible skin infection at the insertion site, and bruising. The MY01 device might offer less invasive monitoring compared to the traditional needle method.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: MY01 + standard of care groupExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This arm involves insertion of the MY01 device into the same leg as the arterial ECMO tubing to continuously monitor compartment pressures.
Group II: 14-gauge slit catheter monitor + standard of careExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
This arm involves insertion of the 14g slit catheter into the same leg as the arterial ECMO tubing to continuously monitor compartment pressures.
Group III: Standard of CareActive Control1 Intervention
This arm involves standard of care monitoring.
