Coagulation Management During ECMO

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) 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.

Hemocompatibility in ECMO Systems: Technical Considerations, Monitoring, and Management

Key technical considerations include selecting biocompatible materials for ECMO components and optimizing flow dynamics to reduce shear stress. Monitoring involves regularly checking coagulation markers, platelet counts, and haemolysis indicators to detect and manage thrombotic or bleeding events. Observing circuit components, flow- and pressure changes during treatment and if necessary, replacing components can avoid complications and improve device performance.
