Activated Clotting Time and Haemostatic Complications in Patients Receiving ECMO Support: A Systematic Review Open
Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) requires systemic anticoagulation to prevent clotting, typically using unfractionated heparin (UFH). However, anticoagulation carries a bleeding risk, necessitating monitoring. Activat…

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A 10-year analysis of survival and neurological outcomes Open
Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health issue with low survival rates. Objective Identification of predictors for survival and good neurological outcomes following OHCA. Methods This retrospective study in…

Association of Activated Clotting Time–Guided Anticoagulation with Complications during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
Even though ACT is a widely used heparin monitoring tool, the evidence on its association with hemorrhagic or thromboembolic events is still controversial and limited. Further studies are essential to elucidate the role of ACT in anticoagu…

Anticoagulation Monitoring Using Activated Clotting Time in Patients Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Meta-Analysis of Correlation Coefficients Open
Even though ACT is a widely used UFH monitoring tool in ECMO patients, our meta-analysis found a weak correlation between ACT and UFH infusion dose. New trials are needed to investigate the role of emerging tools and to clarify the most ap…

Response patterns of routinely measured inflammatory and coagulatory parameters in sepsis Open
Background Sepsis is characterized by a pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulatory shift which can induce life-threatening complications. Close monitoring and risk stratification of sepsis patients is crucial for proper treatment and consequentl…
