摘要
Hemorrhagic disorders due to systemic heparinization are frequent during extracorporeal lung support (veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: vv-ECMO). The development of heparin-coated systems has reduced the need for high-dose heparinization. Whereas the use of these heparin-coated membrane lungs and tubings has been described in former studies in adults, only few reports exist in children. This case report describes the application of a heparin-coated extracorporeal system for long-term vv-ECMO in a 13-month-old infant suffering from acute hypoxic respiratory failure after correction of tetralogy of Fallot. Only moderately elevated levels of activated clotting time (ACT, 120-160 s) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT, 40-60 s) were necessary to avoid thrombotic events in the extracorporeal system. Thoracotomies were performed twice without bleeding complications by discontinuation of the systemic heparinization. We conclude that the use of heparin-coated membrane lungs in infants may improve the safety of extracorporeal lung support and permits surgical intervention without major risk of bleeding.
