This book provides a comprehensive overview of anticoagulation and thromboprophylaxis in critically ill pediatric patients. It reviews the main aspects of hemostasis and the tests used to assess it, as well as the risk factors for thromboembolic disease in the pediatric ICU and the criteria for implementing preventive measures. It describes diagnostic and treatment strategies for the main thrombotic complications, including venous and arterial thrombosis, venous sinus thrombosis, renal and portal vein thrombosis, and pulmonary thromboembolism. It also details the indications, dosages, monitoring, and management of the main anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs, with special attention to unfractionated heparin and low-molecular-weight heparins. The protocol includes recommendations on perioperative management and bleeding risk, as well as criteria for the use of thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and inferior vena cava filters. Finally, practical guidelines are included to facilitate consistent and individualized care.
