Abstract
OBJECTIVE A pilot study to examine the impact of crystalloid versus albumin hemodilution in vitro on coagulation using thromboelastometry in pregnant patients. METHODS This prospective, observational pilot study included seventy-six pregnant patients at term (≥37 weeks) without history of bleeding or clotting disorder or on anticoagulation. Blood was collected and diluted with either Plasma-Lyte or albumin at the following levels: 0%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%. Thromboelastometry was performed to assess for coagulation changes. RESULTS There was a small, statistically significant difference in the FIBTEM A5 between the Plasma-Lyte and albumin samples. However, the predicted probability of coagulopathy, using FIBTEM A5 less than 12 mm, was not different between the groups at any dilution. There was no difference in EXTEM clotting time at low-moderate levels of hemodilution. At dilutions above 40%, the albumin group had a significantly greater prolongation in clotting time compared to the Plasma-Lyte group. CONCLUSION When albumin is used at low-moderate levels of hemodilution in vitro in parturients there is no additional risk of coagulopathy compared to hemodilution with crystalloid. Given that colloids are frequently used to restore intravascular volume during massive hemorrhage, these results support that during early stages of hemorrhage, albumin may not contribute to additional coagulopathy beyond that of hemodilution, although further in vivo studies are needed.

Combined Administration of Fibrinogen and Factor XIII Concentrate Does Not Improve Dilutional Coagulopathy Superiorly Than Sole Fibrinogen Therapy: Results of an In-Vitro Thrombelastographic Study. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10102068. [PMID: 34065924 PMCID: PMC8150940 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10102068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Revised: 05/04/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The early administration of fibrinogen has gained wide acceptance for the treatment of major hemorrhage, whereas the substitution of coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) is only supported by a low level of evidence. This study aimed to answer the question of whether a combined therapy of fibrinogen/FXIII substitution performs superiorly to sole fibrinogen administration in the treatment of dilutional coagulopathy. An in-vitro model of massive transfusion was used to compare the effect of combined fibrinogen/FXIII administration to that of sole fibrinogen therapy for the treatment of dilutional coagulopathy. For this purpose, the blood of red blood cell concentrates, fresh frozen plasma, and platelet concentrates were reconstituted in a ratio of 4:4:1, and then diluted with gelatin by 20% and 40%, respectively. Clot formation and stability were analyzed by thrombelastography. Both sole fibrinogen therapy (equivalent to 50 mg/kg) and the combined administration of fibrinogen (equivalent to 50 mg/kg) and FXIII (equivalent to 75 International Units (IU)/kg) increased fibrinogen-dependent mean clot firmness independently of the degree of dilution (20% dilution: 7 (6.3–7.8) mm; 20% dilution fibrinogen: 13.5 (13–17.3) mm; 20% dilution fibrinogen/FXIII: 16.5 (15.3–18.8) mm; 40% dilution: 3 (2–3.8) mm; 40% dilution fibrinogen: 8 (7–11.3) mm; 40% dilution fibrinogen/FXIII: 10 (8.3–11.8) mm; all p < 0.01). However, no differences were identified between the two treatment arms. Compared to fibrinogen therapy, no beneficial effect of the combined administration of fibrinogen and FXIII for the treatment of dilutional coagulopathy was detected in this in-vitro massive transfusion model. The result was independent of the degree of dilution.

Abstract
Human serum albumin has shown remarkable efficacy in rodent models of ischemic stroke, while results from relevant clinical research on albumin therapy remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis of published studies to quantitatively analyze the neurofunctional outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke treated with albumin. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched in July 2020. A total of four studies and 1611 patients were included. The aggregated results indicated that there were 635 patients with good neurological outcomes, among which 321 patients were in the albumin group (39.8%) and 314 patients in the control group (39.1%), showing no statistically significant difference between the albumin and control groups (OR = 1.04, 95% CI 0.85-1.27). The results suggest that albumin therapy at the acute stage of ischemic stroke has no beneficial effect on the long-term neurological function of patients with ischemic stroke. Considering pulmonary edema and other complications are more likely to occur in such patients after albumin infusion, the administration of albumin therapy for acute ischemic stroke should be done with utmost caution.

Abstract
Intravenous fluid administration in veterinary patients can alter coagulation function by several mechanisms. Both crystalloid and colloid fluids cause hemodilution, reducing platelet count and plasma coagulation protein concentrations. Hemodilution is associated with a hypercoagulable effect at low dilutions and a hypocoagulable effect at higher dilutions. Composition of crystalloid fluids likely has a minor effect, primarily dependent on fluid ion composition. Hypertonic crystalloids may also cause hypocoagulability. Colloids, both synthetic and natural, can cause hypocoagulability by several mechanisms beyond the effects of hemodilution. These include impaired platelet function, decreased plasma coagulation factor activity, impaired fibrin formation and crosslinking, and accelerated fibrinolysis. The vast majority of the veterinary literature investigates the hypocoagulable effects of hydroxyethyl starch-containing fluids using in vitro, experimental, and clinical studies. However, results are inconsistent, likely due to the varying doses and physicochemical properties of the specific fluid products across studies. In addition, some evidence exists for hypocoagulable effects of gelatin and albumin solutions. There is also evidence that these colloids increase the risk of clinical bleeding in people. Limitations of the veterinary evidence for the hypocoagulable effects of colloid fluids include a predominance of in vitro studies and in vivo studies using healthy subjects, which exclude the interaction of the effects of illness. Therefore, clinical relevance of these effects, especially for low-molecular-weight hydroxyethyl starch, is unknown. Firm recommendations about the most appropriate fluid to use in clinical scenarios cannot be made, although it is prudent to limit the dose of synthetic colloid in at-risk patients. Clinicians should closely monitor relevant coagulation assays and for evidence of hemorrhage in at-risk patients receiving any type of fluid therapy, especially in large volumes.

Abstract
: Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) occurs commonly as a second event following severe injury. We evaluated the effects of fibrinogen, recombinant factor VIIa and factor XIII on blood clotting and fibrinolysis in an in-vitro TIC model. The TIC model included hemodilution, hyperfibrinolysis, acidosis and hypothermia. The extent of clot formation and fibrinolysis was evaluated using rotational thromboelastometry. Clot strength was increased following spiking the TIC blood with either 1.0 mg/ml fibrinogen, 3.0 μg/ml recombinant factor VIIa or 2.0 IU/ml factor XIII. Maximal effect was achieved by all agents in combination approximating the extent of clot formation to those in normal blood. Fibrinolysis was inhibited by factor XIII, while the reduction was stronger using all agents together. When each of the agents used in two times lower concentrations, clot strength was near to threshold. Fibrinogen and factor XIII but not factor VIIa exerted stimulation of clot strength, whereas synergistic effect of fibrinogen and factor XIII was observed. Maximal effect was achieved combining all agents. The antifibrinolytic effect was observed only by co-administration of fibrinogen, factor XIII and factor VIIa. On the basis of our study, we suggest that stimulation of clot formation and inhibition of fibrinolysis may be achieved by combination of FG, rFVIIa an FXIII using each of them at minimal effective concentration. Taken into consideration, multifactorial TIC pathogenesis, this approach may be preferable for improving coagulopathy than separate blood spiking with the essayed factors at high concentrations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The coagulation system is known to be rebalanced but fragile in stable cirrhosis. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in these patients and associated with an increased bleeding risk. We aimed to assess coagulation parameters in this population. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 43 hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis with (n = 22) or without (n = 21) AKI. Coagulation factor levels, viscoelastic coagulation assay, and thrombin generation assay were performed and compared between these groups and a healthy reference group. RESULTS Conventional markers of coagulation were not statistically different between patients with and without AKI. Factor XIII was significantly reduced in all patients with cirrhosis compared to healthy controls (p = <0.0001). In patients with AKI, factor XIII was significantly lower compared to patients without AKI (AKI 38% vs. non-AKI 60% p = 0.002). In patients with cirrhosis, factor XIII had a significantly positive correlation with EXTEM maximal clot firmness (r = 0.5440, p = 0.0002) and FIBTEM maximal clot firmness (r = 0.7397, p = <0.0001) and a negative correlation with EXTEM clot formation time (-0.413, p = 0.0065). CONCLUSIONS Factor XIII was significantly reduced in decompensated cirrhosis patients with AKI compared to decompensated patients without AKI. These findings suggest that exacerbation of factor XIII deficiency in AKI in decompensated cirrhosis may affect bleeding risk and warrants further study.

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.

Abstract
Thrombocytopenia (TCP) and Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) are typical platelet disorders characterized by mild to severe bleeding. This study aims to create in vitro models of TCP and GT and to correct the impaired clot formation by fibrinogen and coagulation factor XIII. The TCP model (mean platelet count, 16 × 109 L-1) was produced by differential centrifugation of normal blood followed by mixing plasma with packed cells. The GT model was created by treating normal blood with 50 μg/mL eptifibatide, an inhibitor of platelet integrin αIIbβ3. Clot formation was evaluated in whole blood by rotation thromboelastometry. In both models, the extent of clot strength was two-three times lower compared to normal blood. Fibrinogen and, to a lesser extent, factor XIII stimulated the propagation phase of clot formation both in TCP and GT models. Clot strength in TCP was increased by both agents, while in GT by fibrinogen only. Similar results were obtained in blood from patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia and Glanzmann thrombasthenia. In conclusion, the created models may be useful in the development of new ways to correct the impaired coagulation potential in TCP and GT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balancing the beneficial effects of resuscitation fluids against their detrimental effect on hemostasis is an important clinical issue. We aim to compare the in vitro effects of 3 different colloid resuscitation fluids (4.5% albumin, hydroxyethyl starch [Voluven 6%], and gelatin [Geloplasma]) on clot microstructure formation using a novel viscoelastic technique, the gel point. This novel hemorheologic technique measures the biophysical properties of the clot and provides an assessment of clot microstructure from its viscoelastic properties. Importantly, in contrast to many assays in routine clinical use, the measurement is performed using unadulterated whole blood in a near-patient setting and provides rapid assessment of coagulation. We hypothesized that different colloids will have a lesser or greater detrimental effect on clot microstructure formation when compared against each other. METHODS Healthy volunteers were recruited into the study (n = 104), and a 20-mL sample of whole blood was obtained. Each volunteer was assigned to 1 of the 3 fluids, and the sample was diluted to 1 of 5 different dilutions (baseline, 10%, 20%, 40%, and 60%). The blood was tested using the gel point technique, which measures clot mechanical strength and quantifies clot microstructure (df) at the incipient stages of fibrin formation. RESULTS df and clot mechanical strength decrease with progressive dilution for all 3 fluids. A significant reduction in df from baseline was recorded at dilutions of 20% for albumin (P < .0001), 40% for starch (P < .0001), and 60% for gelatin (P < .0001). We also observed significant differences, in terms of df, when comparing the different types of colloid (P < .0001). We found that albumin dilution produced the largest changes in clot microstructure, providing the lowest values of df (= 1.41 ± 0.061 at 60% dilution) compared with starch (1.52 ± 0.081) and gelatin (1.58 ± 0.063). CONCLUSIONS We show that dilution with all 3 fluids has a significant effect on coagulation at even relatively low dilution volumes (20% and 40%). Furthermore, we quantify, using a novel viscoelastic technique, how the physiochemical properties of the 3 colloids exert individual changes on clot microstructure.

Abstract
Excessive perioperative bleeding remains a substantial problem. Factor XIII (FXIII) contributes to clot stability, and it has therefore been suggested that supplementation with FXIII concentrate may improve perioperative hemostasis. We evaluated the effects of increasing doses of FXIII, alone or in combination with fibrinogen or platelet concentrate, in blood samples from 2 considerably different groups of surgical patients: cardiac and scoliosis surgery patients. Whole-blood samples were collected immediately after operation from cardiac and scoliosis surgery patients. The samples were supplemented with 3 clinically relevant doses of FXIII concentrate (+20%, +40%, and +60%), alone or in combination with a fixed dose of fibrinogen concentrate (+1.0 g/L) or fresh apheresis platelets (+92 × 109/L). Clot formation was assessed with rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). When the highest dose of FXIII concentrate was added, EXTEM clotting time was shortened by 10% in both cardiac and scoliosis surgery patients (95% confidence intervals: 2.4%-17% and 3.3%-17%, respectively), and FIBTEM maximum clot firmness was increased by 25% (9.3%-41%) in cardiac patients, relative to baseline. When fibrinogen was added, the dose-dependent effect of FXIII on clot stability was maintained, but the total effect was markedly greater than with FXIII alone, +150% (100%-200%) and +160% (130%-200%) for the highest FXIII dose in cardiac and scoliosis patients, respectively. Ex vivo supplementation with clinically relevant doses of FXIII improved clot formation moderately in blood samples from cardiac and scoliosis surgery patients, both alone and when given in combination with fibrinogen or platelet concentrate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albumin treatment of ischemic stroke was associated with cardiopulmonary adverse events in previous studies and a low incidence of intracranial hemorrhage. We sought to describe the neurological and cardiopulmonary adverse events in the ALIAS Part 2 Multicenter Trial. METHODS Ischemic stroke patients, aged 18-83 and a baseline NIHSS ≥ 6, were randomized to treatment with ALB or saline control within 5 hours of stroke onset. Neurological adverse events included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, hemicraniectomy, neurological deterioration and neurological death. Cardiopulmonary adverse events included pulmonary edema/congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, atrial fibrillation, pneumonia and pulmonary thromboembolism. RESULTS Among 830 patients, neurological and cardiopulmonary adverse events were not differentially associated with poor outcome between ALB and saline control subjects. The rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in the first 24h was low overall (2.9%, 24/830) but more common in the ALB treated subjects (RR = 2.4, CI95 1.01-5.8). The rate of pulmonary edema/CHF in the first 48h was 7.9% (59/830) and was more common among ALB treated subjects (RR = 10.7, CI95 4.3-26.6); this complication was expected and was satisfactorily managed with mandated diuretic administration and intravenous fluid guidelines. Troponin elevations in the first 48h were common, occurring without ECG change or cardiac symptoms in 52 subjects (12.5%). CONCLUSIONS ALB therapy was associated with an increase in symptomatic ICH and pulmonary edema/congestive heart failure but this did not affect final outcomes. Troponin elevation occurs routinely in the first 48 hours after acute ischemic stroke. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClincalTrials.gov NCT00235495.

Abstract
A variety of point-of-care monitors for the measurement of hematocrit, hemoglobin, blood gas with electrolytes, and lactate can be used also in the prehospital setting for optimizing and individualizing trauma resuscitation. Point-of-care coagulation testing with activated prothrombin test, prothrombin test, and activated coagulation/clotting time tests is available for prehospital use. Although robust, battery driven, and easy to handle, many devices lack documentation for use in prehospital care. Some of the devices correspond poorly to corresponding laboratory analyses in acute trauma coagulopathy and at lower hematocrits. In trauma, viscoelastic tests such as rotational thromboelastometry and thromboelastography can rapidly detect acute trauma coagulopathy and give an overall dynamic picture of the hemostatic system and the interaction between its different components: coagulation activation, fibrin polymerization, fibrin platelet interactions within the clot, and fibrinolysis. Rotational thromboelastometry is shock resistant and has the potential to be used outside the hospital setting to guide individualized coagulation factor and blood component therapies. Sonoclot and Rheorox are two small viscoelastic instruments with one-channel options, but with less documentation. The point-of-care market for coagulation tests is quickly expanding, and new devices are introduced all the time. Still they should be better adopted to prehospital conditions, small, robust, battery charged, and rapid and use small sample volumes and whole blood.

Abstract
Unlike kaolin thrombelastography (k-TEG), the clinical utility of rapid thrombelastography (r-TEG) and functional fibrinogen thrombelastography (FF-TEG) has not been tested in liver transplantation (LT). These thrombelastography techniques were simultaneously performed at the time of the skin incision (the baseline) and 30 minutes after graft reperfusion (III + 30) for 27 consecutive adult LT patients. k-TEG and r-TEG parameters [alpha angle (α) and maximum amplitude of the clot (MA)] were compared in addition to the assay time. Estimated FF-TEG fibrinogen levels were compared with plasma fibrinogen measurements. At the baseline, the values of Spearman's correlation coefficient (r) between k-TEG and r-TEG were moderate for α (r = 0.40, P = 0.06) and strong for MA (r = 0.90, P < 0.01). At III + 30, r was 0.46 (P < 0.05) for α and 0.80 (P < 0.01) for MA. The average time required to measure MA via r-TEG was decreased in comparison with k-TEG [from 29.7 to 21.6 minutes at the baseline (a 22% reduction) and from 29.6 to 22.9 minutes at III + 30 (a 23% reduction)]. FF-TEG correlated strongly with the plasma fibrinogen level at the baseline (r = 0.90, P < 0.01); however, FF-TEG overestimated the fibrinogen level at III + 30 (r = 0.58, P = 0.01). In conclusion, in adult LT, r-TEG correlates with k-TEG strongly for MA but only moderately for α. FF-TEG estimates the plasma fibrinogen level well at the baseline; however, it must be interpreted with caution because of its overestimation after graft reperfusion when the plasma fibrinogen level often decreases to less than 100 mg/dL.
