Strict Protocol

The authors present an revolutionary study aiming to evaluate the effect of alterations in potassium concentrations in transfused packed red blood cells (PRBC) on neonate and infant potassium levels after congenital cardiac surgery. By establishing a strict protocol which restricts the rate of transfusion, the age of the transfused PRBC, and not transfusing a PRBC with a potassium level above 15 mmol/L, they accomplished to suggest a safe and easy way for preventing transfusion associated hyperkalemia.

AbstractThere is a clinical need for pragmatic approaches to measure integrated hemostatic reactions in whole blood rapidly, using small volumes of blood. The authors have applied T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR) to assess coagulation reactions based on partitioning of red blood cells and proteins that occurs during fibrin formation and platelet-mediated clot contraction. T2MR is amenable to measuring clotting times, individual coagulation factors, and platelet function. T2MR also revealed a novel “hypercoagulable” signature characterized by fibrin clots almost insusceptible to fibrinolysis that surround tessellated arrays of polyhedral erythrocytes (“third peak”). This signature, which develops under conditions associated with intense clot formation in vitro, may help identify patients at risk of developing thrombosis and for monitoring antithrombotic therapies in the future.
