Dr. Ali McMichael and Dr. Lisa Settle discuss the challenges of interpreting lab test results in neonates on ECMO, the use of thromboelastography tags to assess anticoagulation, and managing anticoagulation in patients with elevated bilirubin and triglyceride levels. The podcast also explores patient selection for ECMO and alternative interventions for hemorrhaging.

Dr. Ali McMichael and Dr. Lisa Settle discuss challenges in anticoagulation on ECMO, differences between adults and children, heparin resistance in neonates, and the use of bivalirudin as an alternative anticoagulant. They highlight the need for further research in ECMO anticoagulation.
