Exsanguination
Haemorrhage remains a major and potentially
 reversible cause of all trauma deaths.
More pronounced in the setting of penetrating
 trauma.
Current literature from the Afghanistan and Iraq
 conflicts report that as many as 15% of casualties
 require massive transfusions
Mortality in this group is 20-50%

TOWARDS A DEFINITION, CLINICAL AND
 LABORATORY CRITERIA, AND A SCORING SYSTEM
 FOR DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION



The consensual definition of DIC as proposed by the ISTH
“DIC is an acquired syndrome characterized by the
  intravascular activation of coagulation with loss of
  localization arising from different causes. It can originate
  from and cause damage to the microvasculature, which if
  sufficiently severe, can produce organ dysfunction”

     Fletcher B. Taylor et al on behalf of the Scientific Subcommittee on Disseminated
     Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) of the International Society on Thrombosis and
     Haemostasis (ISTH) 2001
Diagnostic algorithm for the diagnosis of overt DIC

1.Risk assessment: Does the patient have a underlying disorder known to be
associated with overt DIC? If yes: proceed; If no: do not use this algorithm;

2. Order global coagulation tests (platelet count, prothrombin time (PT),
fibrinogen, soluble fibrin monomers or fibrin degradation products)

3. Score global coagulation test results
platelet count (>100 = 0; <100 = 1; <50= 2)
elevated fibrin-related marker (e.g. soluble fibrin monomers/fibrin degradation
products) (no increase: 0; moderate increase: 2; strong increase: 3)
prolonged prothrombin time (< 3 sec.= 0; > 3 sec. but < 6 sec.= 1; > 6 sec. = 2)
fibrinogen level (> 1.0 gram/l = 0; < 1.0 gram/l = 1)

4. Calculate score

5. If > 5: compatible with overt DIC; repeat scoring daily
If < 5: suggestive (not affirmative) for non-overt DIC; repeat next 1-2 days



     Bedside Critical Care 2012
Clinical conditions that may be associated with overt DIC

1.sepsis/severe infection (any micro-organism)
2.trauma (e.g. polytrauma, neurotrauma, fat embolism)
3.organ destruction (e.g. severe pancreatitis)
4.malignancy
- solid tumors
- myeloproliferative/lymphoproliferative malignancies
5.obstetrical calamities
- amniotic fluid embolism
- abruptio placentae
6.vascular abnormalities
- Kasabach-Merrit Syndrome
- large vascular aneurysms
7.severe hepatic failure
8.severe toxic or immunologic reactions
- snake bites
- recreational drugs
- transfusion reactions
- transplant rejection

A Time to Consider

1.Mechanism of coagulopathy
2.Tranexamic acid
3.Product ratios
4.Activated factor VII
5.Best modality to assess
coagulopathy


     Bedside Critical Care 2012
Dilution?

Little or no dilutional effect of crystalloid therapy
 on the standard tests of coagulation either in vitro
 or in healthy volunteers
Colloid vs Crystalloid
Coagulopathy was present in 10% of patients who
 received less than 500 ml of fluid
? Alternative mechanism

  Bedside Critical Care 2012
Hypothermia?
Moderate/severe hypothermia present < 9% of
 trauma patients
Relationship between hypothermia, shock and
 injury severity is a weak independent predictor of
 mortality (OR 1.19)
Very little effect of moderate hypothermia on
 coagulation proteases.
Significant effects on function and clinical bleeding
 only at temperatures < 33°C.
 Bedside Critical Care 2012
Acidaemia?

Effects of IV HCL acid on human volunteers.
Definite dose–response of acidaemia on clotting
 function by thromboelastometry.
Little clinically significant effect on protease
 function down to a pH of 7.2 in in-vitro studies
Animal studies: pH of 7.1 produces only a 20%
 prolongation of the PT & APTT.


Bedside Critical Care 2012
Consumption?

Consumption regarded as a primary cause of traumatic
 coagulopathy
Little evidence for consumption of clotting factors as a
 relevant mechanism
In patients without shock coagulation times are never
 prolonged, regardless of the amount of thrombin
 generated


  Bedside Critical Care 2012
Time to Challenge the
Dogma?

  “None of these appears to be responsible
   for acute coagulopathy, and it appears that
   shock is the prime initiator of the
   process!"

  Bedside Critical Care 2012
Drivers of Traumatic
Coagulopathy?

Shock and systemic hypoperfusion?
Dose-dependent prolongation of clotting times
 with increasing systemic hypoperfusion.
Base deficit (BD) as a surrogate for perfusion
2% of patients with a BD < 6 mEq/l had
 prolonged clotting times
20% of patients with a BD > 6 mEq/l.

Bedside Critical Care 2012
Mechanism of Acute
Traumatic Coagulopathy


Acute coagulopathy in massive transfusion appears to be due to
 activation of anticoagulant and fibrinolytic pathways.
Thrombomodulin–protein C pathway is implicated.

   Bedside Critical Care 2012
Protein C Activation

With tissue hypoperfusion the endothelium
 expresses thrombomodulin which complexes with
 thrombin.
Less thrombin is available to cleave fibrinogen
Thrombin complexed to thrombomodulin activates
 protein C, which inhibits cofactors V and VIII


   Bedside Critical Care 2012
Protein C Anticoagulant Pathway




Bedside Critical Care 2012
Biological Response Pathological
  in Shock


Tissues subjected to low-flow states generate
 an anticoagulant milieu
Avoids thrombosis of vascular beds.




  Bedside Critical Care 2012
Hyperfibrinolysis

Trauma is associated with increased fibrinolytic
 activity.
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is released from
 the endothelium following injury and ischaemia.
Local control mechanism to reduce propagation of
 clot to normal vasculature

Product Ratios
  Massive data base ~ 25 000
  16% transfused
  11.4% received massive transfusions
  Logistic regression identified the ratio of FFP to
   PRBC use as an independent predictor of survival.
  Higher the ratio of FFP:PRBC the greater probability
   of survival.
  The optimal ratio in this analysis was an FFP:PRBC
   ratio of 1:3 or less.

  Bedside Critical Care 2012
Practice Point


In patients with critical bleeding
requiring massive transfusion,
insufficient evidence was identified to
support or refute the use of specific
ratios of RBCs to blood components.

Recommendation 2

The routine use of rFVIIa in trauma patients
  with critical bleeding requiring massive
  transfusion is not recommended because of
  its lack of effect on mortality (Grade B) and
  variable effect on morbidity (Grade C).




      Bedside Critical Care 2012
Practice Point                               Bedside Critical Care 2012


1.   An MTP should include advice on the
     administration of rFVIIa when conventional
     measures – including surgical haemostasis and
     component therapy – have failed to control
     critical bleeding.
2.   NB: rFVIIa is not licensed for this use. Its use
     should only be considered in exceptional
     circumstances where survival is considered a
     credible outcome
3.   When rFVIIa is administered to patients with
     critical bleeding requiring massive transfusion, an
     initial dose of 90 μg/kg is reasonable.
Summary
More to coagulopathy than acidosis, hypothermia and
 dilution.
Almost certainly hypoperfusion is the principle driver.
Acidosis, hypothermia and dilution certainly contribute.
Despite advances in our understanding we haven’t yet found
 the magic bullet.
We will have to wait for the definitive word on product
 ratios.
Tranexamic acid given early seems to be safe and effective
 and we are unlikely to get better evidence than CRASH2

An MTP should include advice on the administration of rFVIIa when conventional measures – including surgical haemostasis and component therapy – have failed to control critical bleeding. 2. NB: rFVIIa is not licensed for this use. Its use should only be considered in exceptional circumstances where survival is considered a credible outcome 3. When rFVIIa is administered to patients with critical bleeding requiring massive transfusion, an initial dose of 90 μg/kg is reasonable.
  • 46. Summary More to coagulopathy than acidosis, hypothermia and dilution. Almost certainly hypoperfusion is the principle driver. Acidosis, hypothermia and dilution certainly contribute. Despite advances in our understanding we haven’t yet found the magic bullet. We will have to wait for the definitive word on product ratios. Tranexamic acid given early seems to be safe and effective and we are unlikely to get better evidence than CRASH2 Bedside Critical Care 2012

  2. In each study, the time from injury to admission was relatively short at a median of 70–75 min. In the London study there was minimal prehospital fluid administration (median 500 ml) and we identified no relationship between fluid administration and the incidence of coagulopathy [6] . Higher volumes of fluid were given in the German study (mean 2200 ml) and there was a clear dilution effect, with coagulopathy present in more than 50% of patients who received more than 3 l of fluid in the prehospital phase [8•] . This may be a result of colloid use in this study as there appears to be little or no dilutional effect of crystalloid therapy on the standard tests of coagulation either in vitro [11] or in healthy volunteers [12] . Coagulopathy was still present, however, in 10% of patients who received less than 500 ml of fluid, suggesting an alternative mechanism is responsible.
  3. None of the retrospective studies that identified early coagulopathy specifically reported patient temperature on admission. Moderate or severe hypothermia is present in less than 9% of trauma patients [13,14] . Although there is a relationship between hypothermia, shock and injury severity it remains a weak independent predictor of mortality (odds ratio 1.19) [14] . There is, however, very little effect of temperature on coagulation proteases at these temperatures, and significant effects on function and clinical bleeding are observed only at temperatures below 33°C [15–17] .
  4. Acidemia affects the function of the coagulation proteases. Clinically it is difficult to separate the effects of acidemia per se and the effects of shock and tissue hypoperfusion. A recent study [18] examined the effects of intravenous administration of hydrochloric acid on human volunteers. While there was a definite dose–response effect of acidemia on clotting function as measured by thromboelastometry, clotting times were not prolonged. This is consistent with in-vitro studies for which there is little clinically significant effect on protease function down to a pH of 7.2 [16] and in animal studies for which a pH of 7.1 produces only a 20% prolongation of the prothrombin and partial thromboplastin times [17] . Whatever the exact effect of acidemia on coagulation function, it appears not to be reversible by simple correction of the acidosis [19,20] .
  5. Consumption of clotting factors has always been regarded as a primary cause of traumatic coagulopathy [1] . There is little evidence, however, to support consumption of clotting factors as a relevant mechanism for acute traumatic coagulopathy, and nothing to suggest a process of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). There is certainly activation of the tissue-factor dependent extrinsic pathway and a linear relationship between thrombin generation and injury severity [9••] . In patients without shock, however, coagulation times are never prolonged, regardless of the amount of thrombin generated [9••] . Further, fibrinogen levels are rarely decreased in patients with acute traumatic coagulopathy [19] . A commonly held belief is that traumatic brain injury releases ‘thromboplastins’ into the circulation which then lead to a consumptive or DIC-like coagulopathy. Again, however, there is no evidence to support this, and we [21] and others [22] have refuted the presence of a specific brain injury-related coagulopathy.
  6. Shock and tissue hypoperfusion strong independent risk factor for poor outcomes in trauma no patient with a normal base deficit had prolonged prothrombin or partial thromboplastin times, regardless of injury severity or the amount of thrombin generated. In contrast there was a dose-dependent prolongation of clotting times with increasing systemic hypoperfusion. Only 2% of patients with a base deficit under 6 mEq/l had prolonged clotting times, compared with 20% of patients with a base deficit over 6 mEq/l. Higher injury severity increased the incidence and severity of coagulopathy in shocked patients. Fibrinogen and platelet levels were normal in all patients. Shock and systemic hypoperfusion appears to be the key driver of acute traumatic coagulopathy.
  7. We were not able to measure activated protein C levels in this study due to the assay&apos;s complexity at the time. The activation of protein C, however, was strongly suggested by a dose-dependent prolongation of clotting times as protein C levels fell below normal. Corroborating this, we found that in the presence of hypoperfusion and increased levels of thrombomodulin, fibrinogen levels remained normal, indicating that less thrombin was available to cleave fibrinogen (as it was complexed to thrombomodulin). Nevertheless, confirmation of the generation of activated protein C in hypoperfusion is required to verify this hypothesis. Intuitively, however, it seems appropriate that
  8. Trauma is associated with increased fibrinolytic activity. Raised D-dimer levels following injury have been identified in many studies [9••,27] . Activation of fibrinolysis occurs as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is released from the endothelium following injury and ischemia [28–30] . This is a local control mechanism to reduce propagation of clot to normal vasculature, and our study was consistent with these findings [9••] . We also, however, identified a reduction in plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels in patients with tissue hypoperfusion, who had almost twice the levels of tPA than patients without shock. Activated protein C in excess will consume PAI-1 [31] and thus lead to a ‘de-repression’ of fibrinolytic activity and systemic hyperfibrinolysis ( Fig. 2 ).
