Thrombosis and bleeding in patients with COVID-19 requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Circuit thrombosis and major bleeding were the most common thrombotic and bleeding events. The incidence of ICH was significantly higher when ECMO was indicated for COVID-19 than for other respiratory diseases. There is no evidence for stronger anticoagulation practice, and remains no consistent anticoagulation strategy to reduce the occurrence of thrombosis and bleeding under the double "hit" of COVID-19 and ECMO.PMID:36999123 | PMC:PMC9993729 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2023.100103
