Abstract
Over the last decade, the use of extracorporeal devices for the management of critically ill patients has increased tremendously. However significant morbidity and mortality continue and maintaining hemostasis remains a challenge. There are various anticoagulants available; however unfractionated heparin remains the most widely used anticoagulant. Monitoring of anticoagulation continues to evolve. Here is a review of the impact of ECMO on coagulation system and the complications associated with it. We describe the available anticoagulation strategies and their monitoring.
