Abstract EN
Systemic heparinisation is required for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy, to prevent clotting of circuit and formation of thrombus in patient.
Activated clotting time (ACT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) has been the mainstay of monitoring of heparin dose.
Thromboelastogram (TEG) is increasingly being used again in recent years with the advancement in technology.
Its clinical usefulness in the monitoring of anticoagulation of ECMO therapy is demonstrated in the case presented.
Our patient suffered from severe hemoptysis due to active microscopic polyangiitis and respiratory failure.
Heparin infusion was given at the initiation of ECMO support without further aggravation of hemoptysis.
Dose of heparin was adjusted successfully with the integration of the clotting profile and TEG results.
