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 doses. This study evaluates the correlation among these monitoring methods and investigates the potential of the ROTEM Clotting Time INTEM/HEPTEM ratio (I/Hr) as a bedside alternative.
