Abstract

Coagulopathy is common in multitrauma patients and repletion of procoagulant factor deficiency with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) improves hemostasis. Optimal kaolin-thromboelastography thresholds for FFP transfusion in trauma patients have not been well established. Adult trauma patients with an Injury Severity Score ≥15 were included in this retrospective observational cohort study. The primary end point was area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for reaction time (R-time) to detect procoagulant factor deficiency, as reflected by an elevated international normalized ratio (INR) or aPTT. Test characteristics for the optimal R-time threshold calculated in our study were compared against thresholds recommended by the American College of Surgeons for FFP transfusion. Six hundred and ninety-four pairs of thromboelastography and conventional coagulation tests were performed in 550 patients, with 144 patients having additional pairs of tests after the first hour. The R-time was able to detect procoagulant factor deficiency (INR ≥1.5 AUROC 0.80; 95% CI, 0.75 to 0.85; aPTT ≥40 seconds AUROC 0.85; 95% 0.80 to 0.89) and severe procoagulant factor deficiency (INR ≥2.0 AUROC 0.82; 95% CI, 0.73 to 0.99; aPTT ≥60 seconds...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.
