Venous thromboembolism•

One of the leading

causes of mortality

and morbidity

12% of deaths

occurring

annually

in the European

Union are associated

with

venous

thromboembolism

(Cohen et

al., 2007)

Pulmonary

embolism

is

the most

common

preventable cause of hospital

death, and the prevention

of pulmonary

embolism

is

the number

one strategy

to improve

patient safety

in hospitals

(Geerts

Recommendations: management of severe

bleeding

Severe, or potentially

severe, bleeding

during

VKA treatment

:

at

least one of the following:-

externalised

bleeding

that

cannot

be

stopped

by applying

conventional

measures;-

haemodynamic

instability

defined

by systolic

blood

pressure 90mm Hg, or 40 mm Hg lower

than

usual, or mean

arterial

pressureb65 mg Hg, or signs

of shock;-

need

for an emergency procedure

to stop bleeding

such

as surgery,interventional

radiology, endoscopy;-

need

for transfusion of red

cell

packs;-

life-threatening

bleeding

or bleeding

that

compromises function, e.g. intracranial

or intraspinal

haemorrhage, intraocular

or retroorbital

bleeding, haemothorax, haemoretroperitoneum, haemopericardium, deep

muscle haematoma

and/or neural compression syndrome, acute gastrointestinal

bleeding, and haemarthrosis.

None of these

criteria

non-severe.

Recommendations: management of severe

bleeding

Patients with

severe

bleeding

must be

admitted

to hospital.

Surgeons and radiologists

should

rapidly

discuss whether

a surgical, endoscopic

or endovascular

procedure

is

needed

to stop bleeding.

The INR should

be

measured

immediately

on the patient's

admission to hospital.

However, the time needed

to obtain

the result

should

not delay

the treatment.

Recommendations: management of severe

bleeding

If this

is

not possible, the INR should

be

measured

using

a self- management device

at

the patient's

bedside

(Professional

consensus). In this

case, the measurement

should

comply

with

good practices and the rules

for out-of laboratory

tests.

In cases of severe

bleeding, the return to a normal INR value (INR<1.5) should

be

achieved

as fast

as possible, i.e. within

a few

minutes.

Besides

VKA discontinuation, PCC should

be

administered immediately

in association with

10 mg vitamin

K supplement

(grade

C, level

3), and urgent management of massive haemorrhage

if present

(correction of hypovolemia, transfusion of red

cell

packs if

necessary, etc).

Recommendations: management of severe

bleeding

Fresh

frozen

plasma should

be

used

only

when

PCCs are not available

(grade B, level

2).

The use of recombinant activated

Factor VII is

not recommended

(grade C, level

3).

If PCC is

not rapidly

available

in the emergency units, a few vials

of PCC should

be

kept

readily

available

in the

departments

concerned

(emergency department, intensive care unit, and some

operating rooms), with

the

agreement of the hospital

pharmacy

and with

a record of traceability

(Professional consensus).

Recommendations: management of severe

bleeding

INR should

be

measured

within

30 minutes of PCC administration. If it

remains≥1.5, a further

PCC dose

should

be

administered. The second dose must be adjusted

according

to the INR and body weight, as

indicated

by the Summary

of Product Characteristics (SPC) of PCC.

The INR must be

measured

again

after

6 to 8 hours

and then

daily

while

the situation remains

critical.

An emergency procedure

is

defined

as a procedure

that

has to be carried

out before

the haemostatic

threshold

can

be

reached

(INR<1.5, or<1.2 for neurosurgery) by vitamin

K administration alone.

The INR must be

measured

on the patient's

admission to hospital.

The administration of PCC is

recommended

(grade C, level

3) as described

in the subsection

“Management of severe

bleeding”.

Administration of vitamin

K (5 mg) should

be

associated

with

PCC, unless

haemostasis

correction is

required

for<4 hours

(grade C,

level

3).

The enteric

route should

be

used

whenever

possible (grade A, level 1).

Pernod et al. French clinical pratice guidelines on the management of patients on vitamin K antagonists in at-risk situations (overdose, risk of bleeding and active bleeding). Thrombosis Research 2010; 126: e167-e174

The INR should

be

measured

30 minutes after

PCC administration and before

the intervention.

In cases of inadequate

correction, a further

dose of PCC should

be

given.

This dose depends

on the INR value and should

comply with

SPC recommendations.

The INR should

be

measured

6 to 8 hours

after anticoagulant reversal.

Postoperative

management is

the same

as for elective surgery.

If the intervention can

be

delayed

to allow

anticoagulant reversal by vitamin

K alone

(6 to 24 hours

depending

on

the INR value), it

is

not necessary

to administer

PCC.

The vitamin

K dose recommended

is

5 to 10 mg, preferably

by the enteric

route.

INR should

be

measured

every

6 to 8 hours

until

the intervention. Postoperative

management is

the same

as

for elective

interventions.

The premise

underlying

the use of aforementioned

fibrinogen/ PCC interventions is

the immediate

availability

of factor concentrates

and

thromboelastometry.

The indication for and dose of each

factor concentrate

should always

be

guided

by laboratory

monitoring as well

as clinical

assessments

.

Administering

factor concentrates

without

appropriate

monitoringcan

be

both

potentially

dangerous

and costly. The therapeutic

response

to hemostatic

agents can

be

influenced

by coexisting

hypothermia

or hidden

surgical

bleeding.

Thus, it

is

important to carefully

assess

the cause(s) of bleeding.

A systemic

fibrinolytic

state may

be

diagnosed

in trauma patients using

thromboelastometry

, and antifibrinolytic

therapy

should

be

considered

in such

cases.

Thrombotic

complications are rare when

PCC is

administeredto reverse vitamin

K antagonists, but dosing

of PCC may

need

to be

reduced

to avoid

excess

thrombin

activity

because

the AT level

can be

below

40% in massive bleeding.

In overt

bleeding

associated

with

DIC or advanced

liver

disease, replacement of AT may

be

necessary

before

PCC is

administered

There are several

clinical

advantages

in the use of PCC overFFP:-

The risk

of transfusion-related

acute lung

injury

associated

with

FFP

can

be

minimized

by lack

of anti-HLA/antigranulocyte

antibodies

in PCCs.

-

PCCs

are derived

from

pooled

human

plasma, but multiple steps

of viral inactivation including

heat-treatment, solvent/detergent

and

nano-filtration are routinely

applied

in addition to the donor screening.

-

A non-lipid

enveloped, heat-resistant

virus including

ParvovirusB19 can

be

transmitted

by transfusion, but such

infections are

rare and of limited

clinical

consequences

in non-immunosuppressedpatients .

This sequence

of therapies

guided

by laboratory

monitoring seems to have FFP-sparing

effects

in trauma patients with

hemorrhage.

However, admittedly, there

are insufficient

prospective data at present

to support the efficacy

and safety

of (three-factor or

fourfactor) PCCs

(and their

use with

other

agents (e.g. antifibrinolytics)) in massive transfusion in trauma and surgery

.

Outside

the European

nations, PCCs

are generally

considered

off- label in the management of acquired

bleeding

Conversely, high-dose FFP therapy

is

increasingly

used

at

major trauma centres, but potential

long-term

complications are of great

concern.

In massive bleeding, rFVIIa

remains

an off-label agent. Two prospective randomized

trials of rFVIIa

in major transfusions (> 8

units

of RBCs) after

blunt

or penetrating

injury

(n = 143 and 134, respectively) revealed

no differences

in transfusion of FFP or

platelets

in 48 h between

patients who

received

rFVIIa

(400 lg kg-1 in three

divided

doses) and those

who

received

placebo.

In contrast

to rFVIIa, which

critically

depends

on endogenous

FX, FII and platelets

to increase

thrombin

generation, PCC restores

physiological

levels

of non-activated

FII, VII, IX and X at

the vascular injury

site.

The latter approach

with

fibrinogen

replacement seems

to lessen

the need

for rFVIIa.
