Coagulations Studies Do Not Correlate With Each Other or With Hematologic Complications During Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Anticoagulation plays a key role in the management of children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. However, the ideal strategy for monitoring anticoagulation remains unclear. Our objective was to evaluate the utility of laboratory measures of anticoagulation in pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Quaternary care academic children's hospital.

Patients

Children in a noncardiac PICU cannulated to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in 2010-2016.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results

Demographic data, laboratory values, and heparin doses were extracted from the enterprise data warehouse. Primary diagnoses, indications for cannulation, hemorrhagic and thromboti
