Heparin


Full Liqueminisierung: 5'000 IU bolus, women 300 (men 400) IU/kg KG/24 hrs.

In vascular surgery, subtherapeutic postoperatively: depending on type of OP, ca. 10'000 IU/24 hrs., TZ 30-50''.

For HLM 300 IU/kg KG as bolus

Antidote: Protamin IU = 1.5 x dose IU Heparin, as short infusion.

Side Effects:

1. Allergic to Type I

2. Fall in blood pressure (Myocardial depression)

3. pulmonal-arterial Hypertonia

Therefore inject Tavegyl as antihistamine beforehand

Anvitoff


Anvitoff

Tranexamic Acid

Inhibits the plasminogen activity

Necessary activity level 5 - 10 g/ml

Dose: 10g (= 20 Ampules à 0.5 g) Tranexamic acid in 250 ml NaCl in the middle of infusion for ca. 30 mins. (Typ. heart operation)

Time: Begin 20 min before start of operation.

By limited kidney function : check Physicians Desk Reference (PDR).

Until now, there has been no observed interference of the ACT test.

Aprotinin


Aprotinin (Trasylol)

By still partly unknown mechanisms (Thrombin and Plasmin inhibition), Aprotinin with its connection to the ECC original clotting disorder can reduce blood loss, respectively, the need for a blood transfusion .

Dosage : (For a Heart-OP)

Initial : 2 Mio E Aprotinin (= 280 mg ) during the opening of the thorax for 20 min.

Then : until the end of operation 500 000 E/h Aprotinin

In addition, administer Zusätzlich verabreicht der Kardiotechniker im Prime der HLM 2 Mio E Aprotinin.

Attention: Control of the Heparin action with mean ACT values during Aprotinin is unreliable! Aprotinin works synergisticly with Heparin but can also cause Heparin resistance. During a bypass, the ACT value should be at least 750 seconds.

Thrombocyte (Blood Platelets)


Thrombocyte

General : only apply with special filters (normally included with supplies); pore size is the same as in other filters but volume setting is bigger !

Preparation can be kept for upto 5 days after receipt.

Preparation should be continuously shaken, and kept not in the refrigerator but in a "Hosensack".

A single pack = 1 bag Tc from 1 whole blood donation (= 1 unit).

Begin with 6 units or :

Pooled Tc (= 6 units from open units)

Keep for no more than 6 hours because of danger of bacterial contamination

If DIC, 3 units ca. every 3 - 4 hours, and control haemostasis.
