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.

Keywords: anticoagulation; extracorporeal life support; monitoring; pediatric.
