Article Snippet: 2010 to 2017, bleeding events occurred in 37% of patients on veno-venous (VV) ECMO and 62.1% on veno-arterial (VA) ECMO [4, 5].. The shear stress exerted by ECMO systems disrupts physiological hemostasis, leading to reduced platelet count and function, acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS), and activation of both extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways.. This occurs due to the exposure of the patient’s blood to artificial surfaces, contributing to an increased risk of bleeding [3, 6].
