Endothelial Cells and Hemostasis
Vasconstriction
– renin bradykinin
– platelet activating factor (PAF) WBC adhesion
Vasodilitation: Nitric Oxide (NO), PGI2Anticoagulation: heparin/ dermatan sulfate
– accelerates ATIII/HCII
– activates thrombomodulin (TM)
Coagulation: TF release
Fibrinolytic: TPA, PAI-1 release
Vascular repair: smooth muscle/ fibroblast proliferation

Unique coagulation qualities in
children Liver immaturity contributes to low hemostatic factors (vit k dependent) in infants compared to children and adults
Hemostatic factor activity decreases with degree of prematurity
30 - 38 weeks gestation: coag factors range from 12% - 50% of adult levels
Full term 30% - 95% of adult levels
Hemostatic factors progress rapidly to 80% - 90% of adult ranges within 6 months to 1 year.

Developmental changes in the
hemostasis system
Normal platelet count, fibrinogen levels, FV (adult levels)
Slightly prolonged INR (low Vit K factors)
Elevated aPTT (low contact factors)
Elevated vWF, FVIII
Decreased ATIII, Pro C, Pro S, plasminogen
Normal levels by age 6 months except Protein C (by adolescents)
Elevated TPA, Plasminogen activator Inhibitor (PAI-1)
Normal α2 anti-plasmin

Case 1
8 year old male severe factor VIII deficiency
presents with neck pain and tingling in arms
after diving through a hoop in the pool and
hitting his head on the bottom of the pool.
Parents delayed treatment by 2 days.
Patient taken to ER by parents
Patient usually receives Kogenate FS (second
generation FVIII recombinant protein)
![Page 19: Pediatric Coagulation Case Studies for Blood Bankers · Quantitative defect: type 1, type 3 Qualitative defect: type 2 Secondary Platelet adhesion defect: ...

Case 1What should be done first for the patient?
A factor VIII containing product should be administered
immediately
The does should be for a 100% factor correction (50 U/kg)
What should be done second for the patient?
Patient should have STAT CT scan of cervical spine afterfactor administration
What laboratory tests should be done if any?
Unless an inhibitor is suspected or the patient and familyaren’t able to give a good history of the type of hemophilia the patient has no laboratory testing needs.
Eventually FVIII levels may be necessary for monitoringpurposes.
How long should the patient be treated?
This is dependent upon the CT and neurologic findings.

Definitions: Hemophilia A and B
Congenital bleeding disorder

Deficiency of factor VIII or IX
– 80-85% VIII deficiency
– Severe hemophilia (60%)
15% moderate
25% mild
Prolongation of aPTT

Factor Replacement: FVIII and FIX
Deficiencies
1u/kg raises FVIII levels by 2%

Prevalence of vWD• VWD is characterized for low penetrance and
variable expressivity
• Estimated prevalence in epidemiological studies 1%
• More than 2/3 of the patients are asymptomatic (or mildly symptomatic)
• Prevalence of symptomatic disease is 1/10,000

Diagnosing vWD: Initial Evaluation
Detailed personal and family history is key
Screening laboratory values are often normal
– Platelet count
– Prothrombin time (PT)
– Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
Bleeding time (BT) is an insensitive screening tool for type 1 disease
PFA: Platelet function analyzer; used more often

Standard Diagnostic Testing for vWD
VWF antigen assay (VWF:Ag)
– Protein quantification
– Typically done by enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
FVIII clotting activity (FVIII:C)
– Activity often parallels VWF levels

Standard Diagnostic Testing for VWD
Ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:RCo)
– Functional assay using patient’s plasma and
normal fixed platelets
– Ristocetin induces platelet agglutination via
VWF interaction with platelet receptor Ib/IX
VWF multimer analysis

Mild VWD Type 1:
Influence of Blood Type
• Mild bleeding appears to be common in the general
population
• By definition 14% of individuals type O will have VWF
levels < 50u/dL
• The overlap may trigger diagnosis of mild VWD type 1

Trauma Blood Bank Procedures
Emergency Release Blood: O negative (2 – 5 minutes)
- trying to send a specimen prior to transfusion
Type specific blood: (5 – 10 minutes) no crossmatch
Type and crossmatched blood (10 – 20 minutes)
Thawing AB negative plasma products (FFP and cryo)
1 platelet pheresis set aside
Blood bank technologists notifying –
pathology residents, transfusion medicine
fellows, transfusion medicine attendings
Calling ER or OR for laboratory tests to stay ahead
with plasma products

Laboratory Monitoring
Suggested schema for monitoring in bleeding patient
during massive transfusion
1. PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, platelet count
2. Repeat after each plasma product cycle
administered.
NO SUBSTRATE NO CLOT

Transfusion Triggers for Blood Product
Replacement in Massive Transfusion
Platelet Count < 100,000 --- transfuse plts
(10-15 ml/kg)
Fibrinogen < 100 mg/dl --- transfuse cryo
(1-2u/10kg)
and/or
FFP (10-15 cc/kg)
PT and/or aPTT > 1.5 x control --- transfuse FFP
(10-15 cc/kg)

Collaboration between Trauma Teams
and Blood Bank to Optimize Transfusion
Support for Trauma PatientsNotifying blood bank prior to Trauma patient
arrival (enroute)
Blood Bank proactively support all trauma staff
during massive transfusion episodes.
Set up algorithm for reflexive testing with regard
to STAT PT, Fibrinogen, and platelet testing
to better guide plasma and platelet replacement
therapy in an attempt to return patient to
hemostatic equilibrium
