Anticoagulation on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
Introduction: Extracorporeal circulation has been around for more than half a century, but many questions remain regarding how to best achieve anticoagulation in a patient on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Although unfractionated heparin is the predominant agent used for cardiopulmonary bypass, the amount required and how best to monitor ...
