Anticoagulation during ECMO in neonatal and paediatric patients

Thrombosis Research

Abstract

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) which is used frequently in the paediatric and neonatal setting to support either the pulmonary, or both the pulmonary and cardiac systems. Management of ECMO requires the use of systemic anticoagulation to prevent patient and circuit based thrombosis, which in turn increases the risk of haemorrhage. A number of coagulation tests, laboratory and point of care based, are used to monitor anticoagulation, however the evidence for correlation of the test results with level of anticoagulant and clinical outcomes in children remains poor.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
