Article Synopsis
- ECMO is a complex procedure that presents risks for both thrombosis and bleeding, and there is currently a lack of high-quality data to guide anticoagulation management, leading to variability in practices among medical centers.
- A literature review of anticoagulation options for ECMO was conducted using various search terms, highlighting current methods for managing coagulation during ECMO treatment.
- The authors conclude that no single coagulation test can predict bleeding or thrombotic risk, emphasizing the need for a personalized anticoagulation approach that incorporates multiple laboratory tests to tailor treatments to individual patients.
