Clinical Trial: Assessment of Blood Viscosity in ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)

U.S., Sept. 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07823296) titled 'Assessment of Blood Viscosity in ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome)' on Sept. 11.

Brief Summary: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by damage to the alveolar-capillary membrane, resulting in hypoxemia, decreased pulmonary compliance, and hemodynamic changes.

Critical conditions (hypoxia; septic shock associated with ARDS) can alter blood viscosity. These changes in viscosity can affect blood flow and hemodynamics.

There is only one clinical study that has measured one of the determinants of blood viscosity in ARDS (deformability), even though other parameters are involved in viscosity (elongation,...
