Excerpt

We read with interest the paper published by Repressé and colleagues [1]. Coagulation management is a challenge during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to complex hemostatic and inflammatory responses associated with the underlying conditions that include infection, sepsis, surgery, and/or traumatic injury [2]. Repressé and colleagues present the first algorithm-based approach to bleeding in ECMO patients. However, additional perspectives are important to consider. …
