Article Synopsis
- Major bleeding is a significant complication in ECMO patients, and this study investigates its occurrence, causes, and impact on mortality in patients receiving peripheral-ECMO.
- Conducted at a single center, the study analyzed data from 105 adult patients and found a major bleeding incidence of 31.4%, which was linked to higher in-hospital mortality rates.
- Key predictors for major bleeding included APTT >72 seconds and fibrinogen <2 g/L, indicating that patients with these lab values are at greater risk for complications.
