D-dimer to Improve Anticoagulation Outcome During ECMO loNg-term supporteD

Overview

This was a prospective, cohort study.

Adult Patients receiving ECMO surpport in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital were enrolled by cohort. Unfractionated heparin was used for Anticoagulation therapy, APTT or Anti-Xa activity is monitored for dose adjustment. Meanwhile, D-dimer is mornitored. If D-dimer levels continue to rise (\>1.5 times previous result ), increase the dose of heparin to reach the upper limit of the treatment target; If the D-dimer levels is stable (\<1.5 times previous result ) or is decreasing, the anticoagulation dose is maintained at current level (no active bleeding) or decreased (active bleeding). All patients were followed up The occurrence of endpoints during in-hospital and 30 days after discharge, including bleeding events, thrombotic events and all-cause deaths were recorded.
