Lethal Myocardial Infarction in a Neonate During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving intervention for neonates born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), which is the most common neonatal indication for its use.1 It is, however, a high-risk treatment modality that is frequently complicated by the need to carefully manage the coagulation balance, between the risk of bleeding and clotting, in neonates due to multiple factors such as developmental hemostasis, differences in primary hemostasis, heparin resistance, and inflammation.
