Filter by:The existence of AAS coagulopathy has been reported, related to blood contact with the walls of the non-endothelialized false lumens. It is likely that endothelial dysfunction generated by vascular lesions may largely contribute to the development of coagulopathy, such as described in trauma-induced coagulopathy. This endotheliopathy of the AAS has never been evaluated. The coagulopathy of AAS and more specifically the endotheliopathy are poorly described and therefore have no standardized treatment. The main objective of this study is to describe the coagulopathy
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is an important risk factor for coronary and valvular cardiac disease leading to cardiac surgery. with concern for higher post-op complications with volume overload and coagulopathies in this patient' outcomes as mentioned above in patients who receive early post-op dialysis versus hemodialysis on day 1 or thereafter. ed for mechanical ventilation and rs of clinical course and mortality. Previous studies have demonstrated that presence of ESRD is an independent risk factor for post-operative respiratory failure and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, partially mediated through volume overload and prolonged mechanical ventilation, as well as coagulopathy attributed to platelet dysfunction and uremia. Prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery has been shown to be associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Fluid overload is a predictor of length of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Therefore early restoration of volume and electrolyte homeostasis and clearance of uremic toxins should be one of the principal goals in the immediate post operative period in patients with ESRD. However, to the best of our knowledge, the effect of timing of post-operative renal replacement therapy, specifically hemodialysis, on clinical outcomes has not been studied in ESRD patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Accordingly, we have conducted this study to evaluate the effect of early population affecting their overall hospital course including longer duration of ICU stay, need for mechanical ventilation support and blood products transfusion we are planning to conduct this study and compare the short term hemodialysis treatment after cardiac surgery, on clinical outcomes related to volume overload and coagulopathy (i.e. duration of mechanical ventilation, transfusion requirements, and length of ICU stay) in patients with ESRD
In this cohort study, the parameters (TM, TAT, PIC, tPAIC, et al.) associated with the hemostatic system will be collected in sepsis patients when admitted to the Intensive Critical Unit. Parameters will be evaluated for their prognostic function of 28 days mortality.
No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has investigated the effect of prophylactic fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion in septic or critically ill patients with coagulation abnormalities. The last Surviving Sepsis Campaign therefore suggests with a very low quality of evidence "against the use of fresh frozen plasma during septic shock to correct clotting abnormalities in the absence of bleeding or planned invasive procedures". However, expert opinion highlights that FFP should be transfused "when there is a documented deficiency of coagulation factors (increased prothrombin time, international normalized ratio - INR, or partial thromboplastin time) and the presence of active bleeding or before surgical or invasive procedures". Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is responsible for such a severe deficiency of coagulation factors. Supplementing the intense deficit of coagulation factors with plasma containing non-activated coagulation factors is therefore a rational therapy in DIC patients. OctaplasLG® is a donor plasma product, with unique features compared to standard fresh frozen plasma: standardized concentrations of natural pro-/anti-coagulation factors; a standardized volume; pathogen free. OctaplasLG® should reduce the "inflammatory hit" on the endothelium, including the glycocalyx, by having standardized levels of coagulation proteins, which can give more sustainable support to the endothelial regeneration as compared to standard fresh frozen plasma.
Injury is the leading cause of death for people between the ages of 1-44. This is especially true in trauma patients who have bleeding complications. Acute trauma coagulopathy (ATC) is associated with high transfusion requirements, longer ICU stays, and a greater incidence of multi-organ dysfunction. The cause of coagulopathy is multi-factorial. One major driver is acquired fibrinogen deficiency (hypofibrinogenemia). Fibrinogen is critical in clot formation and enhances platelet aggregation. Due to the body's limited reserve, it is the first clotting factor to fall to critical levels during life-threatening bleeding. This can impair coagulation and increases bleeding complications. There are two primary options available for fibrinogen supplementation: - Cryoprecipitate- North American standard - Fibrinogen Concentrate (FC)- European standard Consumption of coagulation factors, including fibrinogen, is another important component of ATC. To replenish these depleted coagulation factors and improve thrombin generation, two therapies are available: - Frozen Plasma (FP)- North American standard - Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC)- European standard Strategies for hemorrhage and coagulopathy treatment have changed significantly over the last decade. Prompt hemorrhage control, along with targeted coagulation factor replacement, are emerging as key components of trauma care. Currently, the initiation of a massive hemorrhage protocol (MHP) results in red blood cells (RBCs) and FP transfusions in a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. Clotting factors are replaced via FP administration. Fibrinogen supplementation is administration after lab verification or at the clinician's discretion. MHP continues until the rate of hemorrhage is under control. FC and PCC have several important advantages over cryoprecipitate and FP but there is a scarcity of data regarding their efficacy and safety of their use in hemorrhaging trauma patients. The FiiRST-2 study aims to understand if early use of FC and PCC in trauma patients at risk of massive hemorrhage will lead to superior patient outcomes. This trial will also provide safety data on early administration of FC and PCC as a first-line hemostatic therapy in trauma care, and its impact on hemostatic and other clinical endpoints.
SARS-CoV-2 infection seems to induce in most critical cases an excessive and aberrant hyper-inflammatory host immune response that is associated with a so-called "cytokine storm", moreover pro-thrombotic derangements of haemostatic system is another common finding in most severe forms of COVID19 infections, which may be explained by the activation of coagulative cascade primed by inflammatory stimuli, in line with what is observed in many other forms of sepsis. Targeting inflammatory responses exploiting steroids' anti-inflammatory activity along with thrombosis prevention may be a promising therapeutic option to improve patients' outcome. Despite the biological plausibility, no good evidence is available on the efficacy and safety of heparin on sepsis patients, and many issues have to be addressed, regarding the proper timing, dosages and administration schedules of anticoagulant drugs. The primary objective is to assess the hypothesis that an adjunctive therapy with steroids and unfractionated heparin (UFH) or with steroids and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) are more effective in reducing any-cause mortality in critically-ill patients with pneumonia from COVID- 19 infection compared to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone. Mortality will be measured at 28 days. The study is designed as a multicenter, national, interventional, randomized, investigator sponsored, three arms study. Patients, who satisfy all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria, will be randomly assigned in a ratio 1:1:1 to one of the three treatment groups: LMWH group, LMWH+steroids or UFH+steroid group. A possible result showing the efficacy of the composite treatment in reducing the mortality rate among critically ill patients with pneumonia from COVID-19 infection will lead to a revision of the current clinical approach to this disease.
Aim of the study The investigators aim to establish: - Whether noradrenaline (NA) infusion has a significant effect on coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). - Whether disruption of haemostasis can be recorded with a computerized tomography (CT) scan. - Whether there is a significant difference between the values of haemostasis parameters in the internal jugular vein and the radialis artery. The hypotheses 1. In the early stage of treatment (1-3 hours), an increased formation of thrombin occurs in patients with severe isolated TBI that are treated with NA; consequently, platelet use increases in comparison with patients who don't need NA, as do coagulation factors and hyperfibrinolysis. 2. The concentration of NA correlates with thrombin formation and the correlation is stronger in higher doses of NA. 3. Thrombin formation will decrease more slowly in the group that will receive NA therapy in comparison to the group that will not receive NA therapy.
Coagulopathy is one of the most significant prognostic factors in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with increased mortality and admission to critical care. Most commonly observed coagulopathy in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 (COVID-19-associated coagulopathy) is characterized by increased D-dimer and fibrinogen levels. 71% of patients who did not survive hospitalization reported to have developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) compared to 0.6% of survivors.
The primary aim of this study is to determine whether Camostat mesylate reduces SARS-COV-2 associated coagulopathy. Additional aims are to determine the effect of Camostat mesylate on SARS-COV-2 associated myocardial injury, to assess duration of hypoxia or intubation, to evaluate the length of intensive care unit and hospital stay, and assess mortality rates.
The prognosis of traumatized hemorrhages is correlated with the nature of transfusion therapy: a 50% reduction in mortality for an early and massive supply of plasma, and 20% for an early and massive supply of platelets. However, this strategy encounters logistical difficulties, particularly in a context of collective emergency (attacks). The use of whole blood, widely documented by the Armed Forces, improves the availability of plasma and platelets, and simplifies handling by the various actors in the chain. T-STORHM is a randomized, controlled, parallel clinical trial.This study tests non-inferiority of whole blood transfusion therapy in the management of coagulopathy in patients with acute traumatic hemorrhage.
