Strategies to activate and engage patients caregivers in shared decision making the acute care setting may result improved outcomes.
Our objective was to determine the best measure of heparin anticoagulation in neonatal patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Activated clotting time (ACT), activated partial thromboplastin (aPTT), and antifactor Xa levels, along with corresponding infusion rates bolus volumes, were collected from neonates receiving ECMO at our institution 2008 2013. After natural log transformation Xa, ACT, aPTT, overall correlations between levels either ACT or aPTT these tests evaluated using...
