About this trial
The standard and most common therapy is anticoagulation with heparin according to activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. The study will focus on evaluating the efficacy and safety of new anticoagulants on ECMO, namely argatroban and enoxaparin in lower doses controlled according to targeted antiIIa and antiXa markers.
