This workshop will outline the basic principles of extracorporeal life support made easy by key-experts in the field. During the course delegates will gain a good understanding of ECMO in the following areas: Theoretical concepts, basic physiology and pathophysiology, cardiac and respiratory support and monitoring, alarm settings and monitoring, role of cardiac ultrasound during ECMO, newest technologies, circuits and devices, practical hands-on sessions and simulations.
7. 3 actions of
bradykinin
• Activation of intrinsic coagulation pathway
• Activation of complement system >
inflammation > activated endothelium > TF
• Inflammatory reaction by the kallikrein system
Leading to SIRS and vasoplegic state
15. Bivalirudin
• Direct trombin inhibitor
• HIT pts
• Best monitored with Diluted Thrombin Time
• aPTT 50-90sec (ceiling effect), ACT
• Bolus: 0.5-0.75 mg/kg
• Infusion: 1.75 mg/kg/h
• Mainly renal clearance
16. Argatroban
• Direct trombin inhibitor
• HIT pts
• Best monitored with Diluted Thrombin Time
• aPTT
• Can interfere with PT
• Mainly hepatic clearance
18. No
anticoagulation
• First 24-48h to 7days
• TBI, major bleeding, Disseminated
Intravascular Coagulation
• Waiting for resolution of shock

19. VV ECMO: antico vs no antico (n=646)
Overall: major bleeding 16%, thrombosis 53%
ACT alone target: 62% major bleeding, 62% thrombosis
aPTT guided 19% bleeding, 27% thrombosis
aPTT<60 8% bleeding, 34% thrombosis
aPTT >60 56% major bleeding, 7% thrombosis
Thrombosis: mainly circuit clotting

20. VA ECMO: antico vs no antico (n=1496)
Overall 27% bleeding, 8% Trombo-embolic events
ACT< 180sec 13%, 12% TE
ACT>180sec 28%, 9% TE
APTT target 50%, 3%TE
Mixture of methods for monitoring 24% bleeding; 6 % TE
43% bleeding if no antico, 24% TE events

21. Monitoring
coagulation
Combination of ACT, aPTT, anti Xa with
ATIII
Platelet count / function
Fibrinogen
Viscoelastic test (How fast- how strong- for how
long?)
NO SINGLE TEST may be considered adequate to
guide (UFH) management
Activated factor XII cleaves PK to kallikrein, which in turn splits bradykinin from HMWK
Clinical relevance of circuit clotting reported in the different papers
Most included studies were descriptive and retrospective in design, thereby limiting quantitative analyses of anticoagulation modalities and strategies. The frequency and type of complications may be underreported in this review.
