Study Summary

This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a low-field MRI for ECMO patients, comparing it to traditional imaging techniques. Data will be collected to help optimize the device performance.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for children and teens (ages 0-17) in intensive care units who are on a life-support technique called ECMO. It's not for those who are pregnant, have devices like pacemakers or metal implants, tattoos with metal ink near the head or neck, suspected metal in their eye, or any MRI-incompatible surgical hardware.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the safety and feasibility of using a new low-field MRI machine right at the bedside of young patients on ECMO. The goal is to get clear images of the brain without moving these critically ill patients to standard imaging facilities.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on testing an imaging device rather than a medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, there may be risks associated with using an MRI machine around other medical equipment.
