Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Anticoagulation and Monitoring: Where We Were and Where Are We Now?
Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in neonates and pediatric patients has continued to advance. In addition to technologic progress, there is a growing interest in the anticoagulation agents and laboratory monitoring strategies used in children requiring ECMO support. This review summarizes current available evidence and provides guidance for clinicians regarding anticoagulation agents and monitoring.
