Evaluation and following of a protocol using viscoelastic test for the management of high risk patients in cardiac surgery
Full description
Haemorragy is a frequent issue in cardiac surgery due to multiple contributing factors. Excessive bleeding as well as transfusion are associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
Haemostatic blood products (Fibrinogen, fresh frozen plasma, platelets) transfusion had historically been guided by routine coagulation tests (aPTT, PT, platelets and fibrinogen). However, the delay (Up to 60 minutes) often leads to an empirical use of blood products in a context where clinical judgment is unreliable due to the multiples mechanisms contributing to haemostatic failure.
Using viscoelastic tests (VET) in this context has several advantages :
The use of VET has mainly been evaluated in cardiac surgery, with several recent meta-analysis : The use of transfusion algorithms based on VET is associated with less transfusions of red blood cell concentrates, plasma and platelets and also with less mortality, less re-interventions due to excessive bleeding and less post operative renal failure.
These data led the international society for the study of hemostasis and thrombosis (ISTH) to recommend their use of VET in cardiac surgery. In France, the proposals of the peri operative hemostatis group of interest (GIHP) also support their use, specifying that there is no unique consensual algorithm.
Considering this, the investigator established a transfusion algorithm based on the Quantra, a viscoelastic device using sonorrheometry, to guide transfusion in high-risk of bleeding cardiac surgery patients.
