PG - 1042-1047 LID - 10.1097/MAT.0000000000001124 [doi] AB - The study investigated the safety and efficacy of two antithrombin III (ATIII) products in pediatric patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) by performing a retrospective analysis of patients who received either recombinant ATIII (rATIII) or human-derived ATIII (hATIII). Twenty-two patients were included in the study from January 2014 to September 2015 and all received unfractionated heparin (UFH) as anticoagulation during ECMO. In total, 86 doses of ATIII were included in the analysis in which 37 doses (43%) were rATIII and 49 doses (57%) were hATIII. Unfractionated heparin rates were also evaluated for all cases (n = 86) at 24 hours post-ATIII supplementation. The UFH rate decreased after the administration of both types of ATIII. However, neither the reduction in UFH rate between the two ATIII products (p = 0.52) nor the UFH rates pre- and post-ATIII supplementation at 24 hours (p = 0.08) reached statistical significance. There was a significant difference in cost favoring the rATIII product (p < 0.0001). An ad-hoc estimation of waste associated with ATIII supplementation showed >$100,000 in financial loss of unused drug. Future studies are warranted to evaluate the efficacy of ATIII supplementation in pediatric ECMO.
