About This Trial
Currently international experts recommend therapeutic anticoagulation for veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). Reports and case series suggest that the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation is safe for VV-ECMO. No randomized control trials have assessed this. The aim of this pilot study is to assess safety and feasibility of an "anticoagulation-free strategy" for veno-venous…
