Abstract
BackgroundDisseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) can lead to multiple organ failure and death in patients with heatstroke. This study aimed to identify independent risk factors of DIC and construct a predictive model for clinical application.MethodsThis retrospective study included 87 patients with heatstroke who were treated in the intensive care unit of our hospital from May 2012 to October 2022. Patients were divided into those with DIC (n = 23) or without DIC (n = 64). Clinical and hematological factors associated with DIC were identified using a random forest model, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and support vector machine-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE). Overlapping factors were used to develop a nomogram model, which was diagnostically validated. Survival at 30 days after admission was compared between patients with or without DIC using Kaplan-Meier analysis.ResultsRandom forest, LASSO, and SVM-RFE identified a low maximum amplitude, decreased albumin level, high creatinine level, increased total bilirubin, and aspartate transaminase (AST) level as risk factors for DIC. Principal component analysis confirmed that these independent variables differentiated between patients who experienced DIC or not, so they were used to construct a nomogram. The nomogram showed good predictive power, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.976 (95% CI 0.948–1.000) and 0.971 (95% CI, 0.914–0.989) in the internal validation. Decision curve analysis indicated clinical utility for the nomogram. DIC was associated with significantly lower 30 days survival for heatstroke patients.ConclusionA nomogram incorporating coagulation-related risk factors can predict DIC in patients with heatstroke and may be useful in clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of measuring whole blood coagulation with Sonoclot to predict return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest (OHCA). This was a prospective, observational clinical study on patients with OHCA who were transferred to our emergency department between August 2016 and July 2018. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC[+] group) and those without (ROSC[−] group). We compared the activated clotting time (ACT), clot rate (CR), and platelet function (PF) as measured with Sonoclot, and the fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) level and D-dimer level between the two groups. We analyzed 87 patients: 37 in the ROSC(+) and 50 in the ROSC(−) groups. Regarding ACT, CR, PF, FDP, and D-dimer, we used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to examine how well each factor predicts ROSC. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CR was higher than that of the FDP and D-dimer levels. Among patients with cardiogenic cardiac arrest, the AUC of CR was higher than the AUCs of other coagulation factors. In conclusion, viscoelastic blood coagulation measurements using Sonoclot may be useful for predicting ROSC in OHCA patients.

[PMID: 34707386 PMCID: PMC8542569 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s321982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Data regarding the incidence of a coagulable state following heat stroke as assessed by Sonoclot signature analysis are limited. Our purpose was to appraise coagulopathy using a dynamic test capable of analyzing the entire coagulation cascade and to characterize coagulation in patients with heat stroke prior to transfusion. Materials and Methods The data of 106 patients were collected prospectively from the Critical Care Center of the General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command. Coagulable state was defined as normal. Both hyper- and hypo-coagulable states were defined as coagulation defects. Hypercoagulability was defined as an activated clotting time (ACT) ≦195s and a clot rate (CR) >23, and hypocoagulability was defined as an ACT ≧119s and a CR < 7. The Sonoclot signature t examination was performed at the time of admission. Conventional tests, such as the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), were compared with Sonoclot monitoring to identify coagulation defects. Results The average age of the 106 patients was 23.2±2.5 years. There were 102 males (96.3%) and 4 females (3.7%). Thirty-four patients (32.1%) were hypercoagulable and 44 patients (41.5%) were hypocoagulable at the time of admission; 28 patients (26.4%) had no evidence of a coagulopathy. Patients with hypocoagulability, unlike patients with hypercoagulability, had a higher sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, indicating a more severe multiple organ dysfunction score. Mortality was 5.9% in patients with hypercoagulability compared with 3.5% in patients with normal coagulation, and 18.1% in patients with a hypocoagulable state (P < 0.05). ACT was a predictor of mortality, while the CR and platelet function did not show statistical significance. Conclusion This study determined the clinical outcomes and prognostic value of coagulability in patients with heat stroke, as defined by Sonoclot signature analysis at the time of admission.

High-dose Factor XIII administration induces effective hemostasis for trauma-associated coagulopathy (TAC) both in vitro and in rat hemorrhagic shock in vivo models. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2019; 85:588-597.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trauma-associated coagulopathy (TAC) is an early and primary complication in severe trauma patients. Factor XIII (FXIII) is reported to stabilize a clot in the late phase of the coagulation cascade. The goal of this study was to investigate whether the administration of FXIII improves the condition of TAC both in vitro and in vivo. METHODS We evaluated the effects of different doses, including a very high dose of FXIII (3.6-32.4 IU/mL) on tissue-plasminogen activator-induced hyperfibrinolysis and the combined condition of dilutional coagulopathy and tissue-plasminogen activator-induced hyperfibrinolysis in vitro. The coagulation status was analyzed by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and Sonoclot. Then, we evaluated the effect of high-dose FXIII (300 IU/kg) for severe coagulopathy in vivo using a rat liver trauma model in which coagulopathy similar to TAC was observed. Survival time and the amount of intra-abdominal bleeding of rats were measured, and a coagulation test was also performed. Histologic evaluations of rats' lung and kidney after FXIII administration were completed. RESULTS High-dose FXIII significantly improved clot strength as well as increased resistance to hyperfibrinolysis in vitro which was confirmed by ROTEM. Platelet function on Sonoclot was significantly increased by FXIII in a dose-dependent manner. Factor XIII significantly decreased the total amount of bleeding and prolonged the survival time compared to control (control vs FXIII: 108.9 ± 11.4 vs 32.6 ± 5.5 mL/kg; p < 0.001; 26.0 ± 8.8 vs 120 minutes, p < 0.001) in a rat model. Rotational thromboelastometry parameters and platelet function on Sonoclot were significantly improved in the FXIII (+) group compared to control. No adverse effects of FXIII were detected histologically. CONCLUSION Factor XIII not only generated stable clot resistance to hyperfibrinolysis but also enhanced platelet function by facilitating clot retraction. High-dose FXIII administration therapy has significant clinical impact for severe trauma accompanied with TAC. STUDY TYPE Human in vitro and rat in vivo experimental study.

The value of Sonoclot detection technology to guide the clinical medication of the perioperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing emergent PCI. Exp Ther Med 2017; 13:2917-2921.

Abstract
The value of Sonoclot detection technology to guide the clinical medication of the perioperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was estimated. One hundred and twenty-eight patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 64 cases in each group. Control group adopted routine blood coagulation indexes, including prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen and plasma thrombin time, platelet count and platelet aggregation turbidity analysis; observation group adopted Sonoclot detection technology, including activated clotting time, coagulation rate and platelet function. Anticoagulant therapy selected was of low molecular weight heparin calcium perioperatively, intraoperative unfractionated heparin, and clopidogrel (75 mg) combined with aspirin enteric-coated tablets (100 mg) as antiplatelet drugs. The therapy was administered in accordance with blood coagulation results. The blood coagulation time, postoperative creatine kinase isoenzyme MB, cardiac troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide levels in the observation group are significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05) though the operating time and specifications of the stenting did not show any significant difference (P>0.05). The incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction, microembolism, acute and subacute thrombosis and bleeding events in the observation group are significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). In the control group, there is no difference in the coagulation indexes of the patients with thrombosis events or bleeding events or no event (P>0.05). Whereas, in the observation group, there is significant difference in coagulation indexes of the patients with thrombosis events or bleeding events or no event (P<0.05). In conclusion, Sonoclot detection technology instructs emergent PCI treatment in AMI patients to shorten the detection time of blood coagulation, reduce the degree of myocardial injury, reduce the incidence of perioperative thrombosis and bleeding events. Furthermore, it has great value in guiding the clinical medication of anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) contributes to high mortality. The study was performed to investigate Sonoclot as a potential predictor of 30-day survival in overt DIC. This cohort included 237 consecutive critically ill patients with overt DIC, admitted to a 15-bed multidisciplinary ICU between July 2010 and July 2013. Hemostasis was analyzed with Sonoclot, including activated clotting time (ACT), clot rate, and platelet function, as well as routine clotting test at admission to the critical care center. Sonoclot variables differed in survivors and nonsurvivors. Mean ACT was prolonged (289.9 ± 200.5 vs. 194.8 ± 126.6 s; P < 0.001) and platelet function (1.2 ± 0.9 vs. 1.6 ± 1.2; P = 0.010) was reduced in nonsurvivors. The clot rate was not different. Cox proportional-hazard model showed that ACT and platelet function correlated independently with survival (P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis suggested that patients with one pathological Sonoclot findings have better outcome (P < 0.05). After ACT and platelet function were introduced, the receiver-operating characteristic area under the curve of model achieved 0.876 (P < 0.05), with a specificity of 82.6% and a sensitivity of 80.5% in prediction of 30-day survival by multivariate analyses. Our data suggest that the Sonoclot can predict mortality in critically ill patients with overt DIC.
