Abstract:
The anticoagulant management of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) is facing great challenges. Complications related to the coagulation system such as bleeding or embolism are one of the main factors affecting the mortality of patients. How to control the dynamic balance between thrombosis and bleeding complications has become the top priority of ECMO management. This article reviews the coagulation changes during ECMO support, how to choose appropriate anticoagulant drugs and anticoagulation monitoring methods, aiming to explore the best anticoagulation strategy for ECMO patients.
