Abstract

Bleeding is the most serious adverse event of oral anticoagulants and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in such patients. Rapid reversal of anticoagulation in bleeding patients or prior to urgent surgery is mandatory. The therapeutic options in these situations include administration of fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and recently of prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs). However, viral safety and thrombogenicity of PCCs remain issues of concern. In the present study, we administered Octaplex, a new solvent/detergent (S/D) treated and nanofiltered PCC, to excessively anticoagulated bleeding patients or to anticoagulated patients facing urgent surgery. Ten excessively anticoagulated patients with major bleeding and 10 anticoagulated patients awaiting surgery (median age 72.5 (43-83) years, 9 females) received a median dose of 26.1 IU/kg body weight (BW) of Octaplex for reversal of anticoagulation. Response to Octaplex was rapid with decline of INR within 10 min after Octaplex administration (from 6.1+/-2. to 1.5+/-0.3). Clinical response was graded as good in most patients (85%) and as moderate in the rest. Octaplex administration was uneventful in all patients. Following Octaplex administration, a small increase in F1+2 ...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
