Abstract Anticoagulation is necessary for most pediatric and adult extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients to prevent circuit clotting. Inherently, the most common side effect of anticoagulation is bleeding. Anticoagulation during..

Abstract Purpose Achieving effective anticoagulation during neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) without increasing the risk of hemorrhage remains challenging. The use of antithrombin III (AT-III) for this purpose has been..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) contributes to coagulopathy, necessitating systemic anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis. Traditionally, unfractionated heparin (UFH) has been the anticoagulant of choice, however, due to many inadequacies new evidence suggests..

Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) provides lifesaving circulatory support and gas exchange, although hematologic complications are frequent. The relationship between ECMO and severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50 × 109/L) remains ill-defined. We performed..

Abstract Hemostasis and thrombosis are believed to be so intricately linked that any strategies that reduce thrombosis will have an inevitable impact on hemostasis. Consequently, bleeding is viewed as an unavoidable..

Abstract OBJECTIVES:  Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a life-sustaining therapy for severe respiratory failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits require systemic anticoagulation that creates a delicate balance between circuit-related thrombosis and bleeding-related..
