ABSTRACT
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used in critical care to manage patients with severe respiratory and cardiac failure. ECMO brings blood from a critically ill patient into contact with a non-endothelialized circuit which can cause clotting and bleeding simultaneously in this population. Continuous systemic anticoagulation is needed during ECMO. The membrane oxygenator, which is a critical component of the extracorporeal circuit, is prone to significant thrombus formation due to its large surface area and areas of low, turbulent, and stagnant flow. Various surface coatings, including but not limited to heparin, albumin, poly(ethylene glycol), phosphorylcholine, and poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate), have been developed to reduce thrombus formation during ECMO. The present work provides an up-to-date overview of anti-thrombogenic surface coatings for ECMO, including both commercial coatings and those under development. The focus is placed on the coatings being developed for oxygenators. Overall, zwitterionic polymer coatings, nitric oxide (NO)-releasing coatings, and lubricant-infused coatings have attracted more attention than other coatings and showed some improvement in in vitro and in vivo anti-thrombogenic effects. However, most studies lacked standard hemocompatibility assessment and comparison studies with current clinically used coatings, either heparin coatings or nonheparin coatings. Moreover, this review identifies that further investigation on the thrombo-resistance, stability and durability of coatings under rated flow conditions and the effects of coatings on the function of oxygenators (pressure drop and gas transfer) are needed. Therefore, extensive further development is required before these new coatings can be used in the clinic.
