We report the successful control of bleeding in two patients who underwent post-cardiotomy extracorporeal circulatory support (ECMO) and then developed life-threatening bleeding due to severe coagulopathy. After the failure of conventional techniques, bleeding control was achieved using Celox (TM) Gauze (MedTrade Products Ltd, Cheshire, UK) packed on the sternal edges and pericardial cavity.

Abstract

We report the successful control of bleeding in two patients who underwent post-cardiotomy extracorporeal circulatory support (ECMO) and then developed life-threatening bleeding due to severe coagulopathy. After the failure of conventional techniques, bleeding control was achieved using Celox (TM) Gauze (MedTrade Products Ltd, Cheshire, UK) packed on the sternal edges and pericardial cavity.
