Official Title: ROTEM-based Optimization of Anticoagulation Regimens in Lung Transplantation
Brief Summary:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is now a standard component of intraoperative support during lung transplantation, requiring anticoagulation management, typically with unfractionated heparin (UFH).While monitoring methods such as Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time Ratio (aPTTr), Anti-Factor Xa Activity (anti-Xa), and Activated Clotting Time (ACT) are commonly used, a reliable bedside method remains elusive due to the unreliability of ACT at low UFH…
