The Reactome Over-representation Pathway Analyses tool was used to identify functional pathways related to bound proteins. For the SEM studies, ECMO circuit samples were prepared and imaged, and the thickness of bound fibrin fibers was measured using the Fiji ImageJ software, version 1.53c ( https://imagej.net/software/fiji/ ). Protein binding to ECMO circuit samples and fibrin networks showed significant intra-circuit and interpatient variation. The median (range) total protein concentration was 19.0 (0-76.9) μg/mL, and the median total number of proteins was 2011 (1435-2777). A total of 933 proteins were commonly bound to ECMO circuit samples from all patients and were functionally involved in 212 pathways, with signal transduction, cell cycle, and metabolism of proteins being the top three pathway categories.
