Anticoagulation Monitoring During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Narrative Review
Study context
- Population
- Patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for severe cardiorespiratory failure
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- ECMO triggers complex inflammatory and coagulation processes via blood–circuit interaction; systemic anticoagulation is essential to mitigate thromboembolic events and circuit failure but carries significant risk of clinically relevant hemorrhage
- Various anticoagulation and monitoring strategies are used to balance procoagulant and anticoagulant factors
