Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have many similarities, but there are significant differences in managing hemostasis. Cardiopulmonary bypass includes shorter mechanical circulatory support times, blood stasis, higher flows, and an increased blood-air interface. These factors cause differences in the risk of coagulopathy, management of anticoagulation, monitoring of the hemostatic system, and management of coagulopathy. This article aims to identify these key differences in the hemostatic system between patients on cardiopulmonary bypass and those on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
