•
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).

•
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,

be
used

possible (grade A, level 1).

•
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

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

Multifactorial
deficiencies
in massive bleeding
may
not be
fully restored
by targeted
replacement of vitamin
K-dependent
factors
with
PCC:-
PCC does
not contain

(present
in PCC which
contains
also
albumin)-
Fibrinogen
may
fall
to critical
levels
before

Partial deficiency
in FXIII has been associated
with
perioperative
bleeding-
After
a loss
of > 200% of blood
volume, bleeding
may
result
from

•
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.

of PCC may
need
to be
reduced
to avoid

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.

et al.:
*7/506 cases, 1.4%*Most cases: could
be
attributed
to the patients underlying
disease-
Lower
incidence over the last few years
due to
improvement
in the composition (inclusion of coagulation inhibitors, reduced
use of activated
coagulation factors
and improved
balance of coagulation factors)-

PCC Dosage
Step 1:
Define the target INR• Moderate bleeding,
high thrombosis risk = 2,0–2,1
• Severe bleeding threatening the life, moderate thrombotic risk = 1,5• Severe bleeding , low thrombotic risk =
1,0

•
First choice
in case of VKA overdosage
and preoperative management of patients on VKA requiring
an emergency
intervention with
risk
of bleeding
•
Massive bleeding
(without
VKA): debated
•
Improvement
of safety
due to improved
composition
