Mashup Score: 2Thromboelastography-based anticoagulation management during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a safety and feasibility pilot study - PubMed - 3 year(s) ago
TEG seems to be safely used to guide anticoagulation management during ECMO. Its use was associated with the administration of lower heparin doses compared to a standard of care aPTT-based protocol. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, October 22,2014. Identifier: NCT02271126.

Mashup Score: 9Association Between IL-6 Antagonists and Mortality Among Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19 - 3 year(s) ago

Mashup Score: 3
The identification of elevated IL-6 levels in patients with severe COVID-19 led to the rapid development of clinical trials targeting this cytokine. Overall, these trials do not support the widespread use of IL-6 antagonists in hospitalized patients with mild-to-moderate disease, but IL-6 antagonists may be beneficial when rapidly deployed in patients with severe COVID-19, as we discuss here.
