Coagulation Management During ECMO

ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is a technique used to provide temporary respiratory and/or cardiac support in critically ill patients that includes a mechanical pump and oxygenator connected to patients. Anticoagulation therapy with specific monitoring is required to prevent clot formation in the ECMO circuit; however, reports have explored the feasibility of conducting ECMO without anticoagulation in patients at high risk of bleeding. Continued research and clinical trials continue establishing standardized protocols and management strategies for ECMO patients.
