| Popis: | Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), modified cardiopulmonary bypass, is a life-saving procedure for neonates with reversible cardiorespiratory failure. This complex, invasive therapy requires a skilled multidisciplinary team to achieve optimal results. Ready access to blood products is critical and transfusion services are vital in the care of a patient receiving ECMO. Blood products (red blood cells, platelets, and plasma) are a constant requirement during this form of ongoing massive transfusion in the neonatal patient. Complications, such as hemorrhage and clotting in the circuit, must be monitored through the ECMO course via tests assessing the integrity of the coagulation cascade as well as heparin therapy. Over the decades, intact survival rates continue to improve for neonates. |
