Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of nafamostat mesilate compared with unfractionated heparin for anticoagulation in patients with ECMO after cardiac surgery.

Detailed description

Selecting patients who require systemic anticoagulation as the study subjects from patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation assistance after cardiac surgery. Randomly divided into the nafamostat mesilate group and unfractionated heparin group. To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nafamostat mesilate by comparing the incidence of bleeding and thrombosis within the target anticoagulant level range between two groups of patients during ECMO

Interventions

Use nafamostat mesilate as an anticoagulant

DRUGunfractionated heparin group

Use unfractionated heparin as an anticoagulant

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of thrombotic complicationsWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapyThrombotic events include loop thrombosis, oxygenator thrombosis, venous thromboembolism, arterial thromboembolism, and cerebral infarction.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Infusion volume of blood productsWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapyAfter randomization, suspended red blood cells, plasma, fibrinogen and platelet volume were infused per person per ECMO day.
ACT qualified rateWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapyNumber of times ACT detection reached the standard / total number of tests during ECMO
Hospitalization mortality28 daysAll-cause mortality
Incidence of severe bleeding complicationsWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapyThe definition of bleeding event refers to ELSO Anticoagulation Guideline.
Heparin-induced thrombocytopeniaWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapyincidence
Time to reach the target anticoagulant level for the first timeWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapy
The incidence of oxygenator dysfunctionWithin 7 days after starting anticoagulant therapyincidence
