Filter by:Psychological stress (PSS) is one of the most common problems among healthcare providers during COVID-19 pandemic. PSS influences the homeostatic equilibrium of the body, involving activation of the sympathetic nervous system and hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. Copeptin; C-terminal portion of Vasopressin (AVP) precursor is stable. Nevertheless, Evidence about influence of PSS on copeptin levels is lacking. The reason we are doing this research is to determine the level of psychological stress among healthcare providers exposed to at the time of work in intensive care unit (ICU) during COVID-19 pandemic; They will be appraised every assembly for psychological stress level; before start of duty shifts (first time), one week after start (second time) and two weeks after departure from shift duties in ICU (third time) for assessment of psychological stress level and stress hormones.
The hemostasis system is one of the many biological systems of the human body, designed to preserve the liquid state of blood and prevent its loss during vascular injuries. The ideal balance between its coagulant and anticoagulant components never occurs. In various diseases and pathological conditions, the balance of the hemostasis system may be disturbed. Shifts towards hypercoagulability lead to the development of hemorrhagic complications, opposite shifts lead to the development of thrombotic complications. Patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are not rare and unique, today doctors meet with them every day. Its more than 1.5 million CIED's implanted every year. Before surgery these patients are standard cardiology department patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), which develops due to the presence of arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, hypertension, congenital heart disease, myocardial infarction, myocarditis or other diseases and conditions. CHF is the most common, severe and unfavorable prognostic complication of these diseases. With CHF, the balance of the hemostasis system shifts towards hypercoagulation. Patients with CHF have an increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, numerous brady- and tachyarrhythmias and other complications. After CIED implantation, bradyarrhythmia is eliminated, as one of the parts in the pathogenesis of CHF. Patients, especially those with severe symptoms, improve their condition in the early postoperative period. In the long-term period, pacing, on the contrary, may contribute to the progression of CHF. The wrong choice of pacing mode or the place of electrode implantation can lead to desynchronization of the heart chambers, myocardial remodeling and left ventricular dysfunction. Uncertainty is also observed in relation to the hemostasis system after CIED implantation. On the one hand, correction of bradyarrhythmia and CHF should provide patients with a shift towards hypocoagulability by normalizing the heart rate. On the other hand, trauma to the vessel wall during surgery, further placement of the CIED leads in the vessels, and perioperative stress can lead to even greater shifts towards hypercoagulation.
BACKGROUND: Perioperative bleeding and transfusion are important causes of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation. The aim of this study is to assess whether viscoelastic tests-guided therapy with the use of synthetic factor concentrates impact transfusion rates of hemocomponents in adult patients undergoing liver transplantation. METHODS: This is an interventional before-after comparative study. Patients undergoing liver transplantation before the implementation of a protocol using thromboelastometry and synthetic factor concentrates were compared to patients after the implementation. Primary outcome was transfusion of any hemocomponents. Secondary outcomes included: transfusion of red blood cells (RBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), cryoprecipitate or platelets, clinical complications, length of stay and in-hospital mortality.
This study evaluates the hemostatic changes defined as hemostasis reserve capacity (HRC) in the first perioperative 48 hours of bloodless liver transplanted patients.
