Systemic heparinisation is required for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy, to prevent clotting of circuit and formation of thrombus in patient. Activated clotting time (ACT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) has been the mainstay of monitoring of heparin dose. Thromboelastogram (TEG) is increasingly being used again in recent years with the advancement in technology. Its clinical usefulness in the monitoring of anticoagulation of ECMO therapy is demonstrated in the case presented. Our patient suffered from severe
hemoptysis
due to active microscopic polyangiitis and respiratory failure.
Heparin
infusion was given at the initiation of ECMO support without further aggravation of
hemoptysis
. Dose of heparin was adjusted successfully with the integration of the clotting profile and TEG results.
