Abstract

Essentials Heparin-protamine balance (HPB) modulates bleeding after neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). HPB was examined in 44 neonates undergoing CPB. Post-operative bleeding occurred in 36% and heparin rebound in 73%. Thrombin-initiated fibrin clot kinetic assay and partial thromboplastin time best assessed HPB. Background Neonates undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) are at risk of excessive bleeding. Blood is anticoagulated with heparin during CPB. Heparin activity is reversed with protamine at the end of CPB. Paradoxically, protamine also inhibits blood coagulation when it is dosed in excess of heparin. Objectives To evaluate heparin-protamine balance in neonates undergoing CPB by using research and clinical assays, and to determine its association with postoperative bleeding. Patients/Methods Neonates undergoing CPB in the first 30 days of life were studied. Blood samples were obtained during and after surgery. Heparin-protamine balance was assessed with calibrated automated thrombography, thrombin-initiated fibrin clot kinetic assay (TFCK), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), anti-FXa activity, and thromboelastometry. Excessive postoperative bleeding was determined by measurement of chest tube output or t...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.
