Filter by:Recently it has been acknowledged that cirrhotic patients present with "rebalanced hemostasis" that results from decreased levels of both pro-coagulant and anti-coagulant factors, that is not well reflected by conventional coagulation tests (CCTs). Thromboelastography (TEG) might be a more accurate tool in these patients. Numerous guidelines on the management of the cirrhotic patient undergoing invasive procedures have been published but most of them are not evidence based. Current literature, although conflicting, is leaning towards a restrictive approach to prophylactic correction of coagulopathy when performing invasive procedures in cirrhotic patients. The investigators suspect that common practice is more liberal . Considering the well-known adverse effects of blood product administration, the aim of the study is to re-evaluate the clinical management of cirrhotic patients undergoing invasive procedures. Study objectives: asserting whether the use of blood products prior to invasive procedures in cirrhotic coagulopathic patients can be reduced using TEG to evaluate coagulopathy in place of CCTs, evaluating the rate of complications due to blood product use, and checking how well CCT results correlate with TEG results in these patients. This will be a prospective pre/post TEG protocol implementation study which will include two prospective surveys with a 1:1 ratio. Survey 1: prophylactic administration of FFP/PLT prior to minor invasive procedures will be based on CCTs and physicians' clinical judgement. Survey 2: management will be based on a new TEG protocol. The investigators will include cirrhotic patients with coagulopathy who are candidates for an invasive procedure. Subject will be provided with sufficient time to reach a rational, informed decision regarding participation in the study. Data will be collected from the computer based medical record systems, the patient file and directly from the caring physician and will include a thorough medical history and conventional blood tests, including a TEG test. All subjects will be managed according to standard of care. Primary endpoint: amount of blood product (fresh frozen plasma/platelets) units transfused in preparation for the invasive procedures. Secondary endpoints: bleeding complications, transfusion related side effects, 90 day survival and other complications. This will be a prospective (pre/post) study. The calculated sample size needed is 120 subjects, 60 in each group.
Coagulopathy after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Clot formation and clot stability are important factors in coagulation and hemostasis. As such platelet dysfunction and impaired thrombin generation play a central role in bleeding after cardiac surgery. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between point-of-care determined platelet function and thrombin generation and postoperative bleeding in infants and young children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass adjusting for clinically important confounding factors.
A prospective study intended to examine the effect of topical Voltaren-Ophtha 0.1% eye drops after cataract surgery on INR levels (international normalized ratio) in patients taking warfarin.
This is a randomized, open label, parallel two arm, clinical study, which compare the Bair Hugger forced-air warming blanket and the conventional warming care practice in China on patients undergoing major surgery to determine the impact of maintaining normothermia on intraoperative blood loss, requirement for transfusion of packed red blood cells and the changes of coagulation function.
