Evaluation of Coagulation Factors and Point-of-care Devices During Veno-venous ECMO Therapy

Analysis of the Activity of Different Coagulation Factors and Monitoring of Coagulation Using Point-of-care Devices During a Veno-venous ECMO Therapy

Hemorrhagic and thromboembolic complications are common in Veno-venous ECMO therapy. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed analysis of the activity of different coagulation factors and changes in functional coagulation measurements as in rotational thrombelastometry and multiple electrode aggregometry in the course of ECMO therapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Need for a Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Known coagulation disorders
• Refusal to participate
