Article Synopsis
- Antithrombin III deficiency during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can lead to heparin resistance; however, supplementation may help improve anticoagulation.
- A study analyzed the effects of antithrombin III supplementation on coagulation parameters in both adult and pediatric ECMO patients.
- Results indicated that while antithrombin III improved anti-Xa levels significantly, it did not substantially decrease heparin infusion rates, suggesting restoration of heparin responsiveness in patients with low antithrombin activity.
