Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the hematologic, blood chemistry, and coagulation test results between two blood sampling methods via central venous access devices (CVADs) and venipuncture. METHOD The authors searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) for controlled studies that compared the differences in hematologic, blood chemistry, and coagulation test results between venipuncture and CVADs from the date of database establishment to July 2022. Two researchers independently performed the literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. The standardized mean difference was used as the effect size for continuous variables and a 95% confidence interval was provided. The random-effects model was used for an I2 > 50%, otherwise the fixed-effects model was used. Sources of heterogeneity were determined by subgroup analysis or sensitivity analysis, as indicated. RESULTS This review ultimately identified 17 studies for systematic review, of which 12 were selected for meta-analysis. A total of 541 adult participants were included in the meta-analysis. With the exception of the activated partial thromboplastin time, there were no significant differences in hematologic, blood chemistry, and coagulation test results between blood sampling via venipuncture and CVADs. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study provide substantial evidence that blood sampling via venipuncture and CVADs had equal reliability in most laboratory tests. Serial blood sampling via CVADs will reduce the risk of bleeding episodes and pain at the blood collection site, and safety for healthcare professionals.

Abstract
This guidance document has been prepared on behalf of the International Council for Standardisation in Haematology (ICSH). The aim of the document is to provide guidance and recommendations for collection of blood samples for coagulation tests in clinical laboratories throughout the world. The following processes will be covered: ordering tests, sample collection tube and anticoagulant, patient preparation, sample collection device, venous stasis before sample collection, order of draw when different sample types need to be collected, sample labelling, blood-to-anticoagulant ratio (tube filling) and influence of haematocrit. The following areas are excluded from this document, but are included in an associated ICSH document addressing processing of samples for coagulation tests in clinical laboratories: sample transport and primary tube sample stability; centrifugation; interfering substances including haemolysis, icterus and lipaemia; secondary aliquots-transport and storage; and preanalytical variables for platelet function testing. The recommendations are based on published data in peer-reviewed literature and expert opinion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize acute inflammatory and hemostatic surgical stress responses following castration in cats and to evaluate whether the addition of local anesthesia to the anesthetic protocol attenuates these responses. ANIMALS 39 male cats. PROCEDURES Cats undergoing castration were randomly assigned to 2 groups: both groups underwent surgery with general anesthesia, and 1 group additionally received a local anesthetic (lidocaine [2.0 mg/kg in total, divided intratesticularly and SC]) prior to incision. Blood samples were collected after anesthetic induction (baseline) and 1, 5, and 24 hours later. Thromboelastography and coagulation variables (activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT] and prothrombin time [PT]) were analyzed; fibrinolysis was assessed with plasma D-dimer concentrations. The acute-phase response was evaluated via measurement of plasma fibrinogen and serum amyloid A (last time point, 28 hours) concentrations. Hematologic variables were analyzed at baseline and 1, 5, and 24 hours later. RESULTS Evidence of hemostatic and inflammatory activation after surgery was detected in both groups. Maximum amplitude and G (global clot strength) were significantly increased at 24 hours, and significant, but not clinically relevant, decreases were detected in aPTT at 5 and 24 hours and in PT at 24 hours, compared with baseline values. Serum amyloid A concentrations were significantly higher at 24 and 28 hours than at baseline, and plasma fibrinogen concentration was significantly increased at 24 hours; WBC and RBC counts and Hct were significantly increased at multiple time points. No differences between groups were detected for any variables. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Castration appeared to induce hypercoagulability and an acute-phase inflammatory response in cats. Local anesthesia with lidocaine did not attenuate this response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) on coagulation function and fibrinolysis in elderly patients undergoing hepatic carcinectomy. METHODS Thirty elderly patients (aged 60-70 years) with liver cancer (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II) scheduled for hepatic carcinectomy from February 2007 to February 2008 were randomly divided into ANH group (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). After tracheal intubation, patients in ANH group and control group were infused with 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) (130/0.4), and basic liquid containing 6% HES and routine Ringer's solution, respectively. In all the studied patients, blood samples were drawn at five different time points: before anesthesia induction (T1), 30 minutes after ANH (T2), 1 hour after start of operation (T3), immediately after operation (T4), and 24 hours after operation (T5). Then coagulation function, soluble fibrin monomer complex (SFMC), prothrombin fragment (F1+2), and platelet membrane glycoprotein (activated GPIIb/GPIIIa and P-selectin) were measured. RESULTS The perioperative blood loss was not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05). The volume of allogeneic blood transfusion in ANH group was significantly smaller than that in control group (350.5 +/- 70.7 mL vs. 457.8 +/- 181.3 mL, P < 0.01). Compared with the data of T1, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time in both groups prolonged significantly after T3 (P < 0.05), but still within normal range. There were no significant changes in thrombin time and D-dimer between the two groups and between different time points in each group (all P > 0.05). SFMC and F1 + 2 increased in both groups, but without statistical significance. P-selectin expression on the platelet surface of ANH group was significantly lowered at T2 and T3 compared with the level at T1 (P < 0.05). Compared with control group, P-selectin was significantly lower in ANH group at T2-T5 (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In elderly patients undergoing resection of liver cancer, ANH may not hamper fibrinolysis and coagulation function. It could therefore be safe to largely reduce allogeneic blood transfusion.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to validate the use of blood collected from an indwelling arterial catheter for analysis of haematological, coagulation and inflammatory parameters in canines compared to venous blood collected directly from the jugular vein. Blood samples were collected from 11 dogs. Agreement between sampling methods was found for neutrophil and monocyte counts, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, antithrombin, protein C, factor VIII and C-reactive protein, whereas a statistically significant difference was found for white blood cells, lymphocyte, erythrocyte and platelet counts, haemoglobin, haematocrit, fibrinogen and thrombin time (TT). In conclusion, it is necessary to be aware that results from a complete blood count obtained from canine venous and arterial blood samples may not be comparable. Values for haemostatic parameters from arterial and venous blood samples, with the exception of fibrinogen and TT, were however statistically identical.

Abstract
Peptides have a role in the inflammatory response, tumor biology, and endocrine processes, presenting them as appealing biomarker candidates. However, peptide extraction efficacy for clinical profiling remains a pivotal technological challenge, as maximum coverage of the plasma peptidome is limited by a range of factors including the inherent complexity of human plasma and the lower concentration of peptides compared to abundant proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate commonly employed peptide extraction methodologies in terms of total number of peptides detected and the mass range of peptides observed by MALDI. Despite showing coelution of proteins, solid-phase extraction (SPE) methods exhibited superior plasma peptide recovery than ultrafiltration, acetonitrile (ACN) precipitation, or size-exclusion chromatography methods under conditions employed in the study. Not surprisingly, in line with studies challenging the veracity of many peptide biomarker studies, the majority of identified peptides eluted from SPE methods corresponded to proteolytic truncations of the most abundant plasma proteins. The prefractionation of plasma with acetonitrile precipitation prior to SPE provided distinct ion signal profiles and is worthy of further study. In conclusion, this study favors the use of SPE in peptide extraction protocols for increased biomarker coverage and diversity from the plasma peptidome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE No studies have yet determined whether antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy is the more appropriate treatment after transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with cryptogenic stroke. The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the presence, degree, and timing of activation of the platelet and coagulation systems after transcatheter closure of PFO in patients with cryptogenic stroke. METHODS Twenty-four consecutive patients (mean age, 44+/-10 years; 11 men) with previous cryptogenic stroke who had undergone successful transcatheter closure of PFO were included in the study. Prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) and thrombin-antithrombin III (TAT) were used as markers of coagulation activation, and soluble P-selectin and soluble CD40 ligand were used as markers of platelet activation. Measurements of all hemostatic markers were taken at baseline just before the procedure and at 7, 30, and 90 days after device implantation. RESULTS F1+2 and TAT levels increased from 0.41+/-0.16 nmol/L and 2.34+/-1.81 ng/mL, respectively, at baseline to a maximal value of 0.61+/-0.16 nmol/L and 4.34+/-1.83 ng/mL, respectively, at 7 days, gradually returning to baseline levels at 90 days (P<0.001 for both markers). F1+2 and TAT levels at 7 days after PFO closure were higher than those obtained in a group of 25 healthy controls (P<0.001 for both markers). Levels of soluble P-selectin and soluble CD40 ligand did not change at any time after PFO closure. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter closure of PFO is associated with significant activation of the coagulation system, with no increase in platelet activation markers. These findings raise the question of whether optimal antithrombotic treatment after PFO closure should be short-term anticoagulant rather than antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
Alterations in hemostasis have frequently been observed in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Thrombotic events are well documented in patients receiving L-asparaginase as a single agent or in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs. The present prospective, randomized study evaluated the effect of two different L-asparaginase preparations, native Escherichia coli L-asparaginase (Crasnitin; Bayer AG, Leverkusen, Germany; n = 10) and L-asparaginase derived from Erwinia chrysanthemi (Erwinase; Porton Pruducts, London, UK; n = 10) on the changes in parameters concerning hypercoagulability. Patients were randomized to receive a total of eight doses of 10,000 IU/m2 L-asparaginase intravenously with intervals of 3 days during induction therapy. Before starting L-asparaginase treatment all patients had already demonstrated an increased thrombin generation shown by the elevated levels of prothrombin fragment 1+2 and thrombin antithrombin III, presumably due to therapy with prednisone, daunorubicin and vincristine. A significant decrease in alpha2-antiplasmin and plasminogen levels was measured in the E. coli L-asparaginase but not in Erwinase-treated patients. Increased thrombin generation combined with a decrease in alpha2-antiplasmin and plasminogen levels may lead to a state of increased risk for thrombosis due to a delay in fibrin elimination in E. coli L-asparaginase-treated patients only.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspirin has been routinely prescribed following transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) but its rationale has not been clinically or biologically evaluated; and despite aspirin, thrombotic complications occur following transcatheter ASD closure. We therefore evaluated the presence, degree and timing of the activation of the coagulation and platelet systems following transcatheter closure of ASDs. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen consecutive patients (9 females, mean age 41+/-22 years) who underwent successful transcatheter closure of an ASD defect with the Amplatzer septal occluder were prospectively studied. Measurements of the prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) levels and the percentage of activated platelets (determined by P-selectin expression detected by flow cytometry) were taken at baseline just before the procedure, and at 1, 7, 30 and 90 days following device implantation. F1+2 levels increased from 0.85+/-0.29 nmol/l at baseline to a maximal value of 1.20+/-0.52 nmol/l at 7 days, gradually returning to the baseline levels at 90 days (0.79+/-0.54 nmol/l) (p<0.001). F1+2 levels at 7 days were also significantly higher than those obtained in a control group of 20 healthy subjects (p=0.016). A greater increase in coagulation activation was observed in cases of residual shunt following ASD closure (r=0.53, p=0.050). No significant variations in the percentage of platelets expressing P-selectin were detected at any time. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter closure of ASDs with the Amplatzer septal occluder was associated with a significant increase in F1+2 levels during the first week after device implantation, but there was no detectable effect on platelet system activation. These findings raise the question whether the optimal prophylactic approach following transcatheter ASD closure should be anticoagulant instead of antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
Since serum and plasma D-dimer concentrations correlate very well, we evaluated the comparability of other haemostasis activation markers in plasma and serum. Prothrombin fragment F1+2, fibrin monomer and D-dimer concentrations were measured with commercially available immunoassays in serum and plasma. Serum to plasma ratios were evaluated to determine the direct (prothrombin fragment F1+2) and indirect (fibrin monomer, D-dimer) downstream influence of prothrombinase on the serum to plasma comparability. Prothrombin fragment F1+2 serum and plasma concentrations did not correlate (R2 = 0.09, ns), while an unexpected high degree of correlation was found for fibrin monomer (R2 = 0.66, p < 0.001), and, as expected, a very good correlation was found for D-dimer (R2 = 0.94, p < 0.001). Median serum to plasma ratios decreased from prothrombin fragment F1+2 (16.26) to fibrin monomer (2.24, p < 0.001) and D-dimer (1.00, p < 0.001), following a highly linear relationship (R2 = 0.93) Plasma and serum concentrations of the evaluated markers correlate the better the farther from prothrombinase activity the respective marker is generated. Serum is not suitable for prothrombin fragment F1+2 measurements, whereas fibrin monomer serum concentrations seem of value for research applications. With the used assay, serum seems an appropriate matrix for clinical D-dimer measurements. This would considerably simplify testing strategies. Validation in further clinical trials is needed.

Abstract
In 234 trauma surgery patients, thrombosis prophylaxis with Nadroparin-Calcium low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) was adjusted according to levels of D-Dimer. Basic prophylaxis was 2,850 IU per day. If D-Dimer concentrations rose above 2 mg/L after the fourth postoperative (p.o.) day, LMWH was administered twice a day. Color Doppler ultrasound was performed between the fifth and seventh p.o. days. Patients were divided into a high-risk (group 1: hip, femur, or knee replacement surgery, n=102) and a moderate-risk group (group 2: other surgery of the knee, tibia, fibula, or foot, n=132). Group 1 showed significantly higher D-Dimer levels than group 2 (p<0.001). Measurement of D-Dimer on days 2 and 4 p.o. showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 72.8% in identifying patients at risk (i.e., D-Dimer>2 mg/L after day 4 p.o.). The overall deep vein thrombosis (DVT) rate in group 1 was 3.9%, and the rate of proximal DVT was 1.96%. In group 2, one distal DVT (0.8%) occurred. The results show that D-Dimer is a useful marker to monitor p.o. coagulation activation and to manage LMWH prophylaxis in trauma surgery patients.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify the lower respiratory tract (LRT) dose delivered by a single nebulization of (99m)technetium-labeled sodium heparin as well as its airway distribution, and kinetics of aerosol clearance, since inhaled heparin may be useful in the treatment of asthma. Fifteen healthy subjects (5 male, 10 female) inhaled heparin from a jet nebulizer loaded with 90,000 IU of (99m)Tc-heparin, driving flow rate 10 L/min. Lung scintigrams and blood samples were taken immediately and at several time points up to 24 h after inhalation. 15 +/- 3% (mean +/- SD) (mean 13,300 IU) of the heparin nebulizer charge reached the mouth, and 8 +/- 2% (mean 7,000 IU) was found in the LRT. Jet nebulizer residual was 48 +/- 6% (mean 43,000 IU), 32 +/- 4% (mean 29,000) was found on exhalation filters, and 5 +/- 2% in the tubing. (99m)Tc-heparin was distributed uniformly in the lungs, and clearance was biphasic. 39 +/- 8% of the LRT dose of (99m)Tc-heparin remained in the lungs 24 h after inhalation. 10.00 +/- 3.40% (687 +/- 310 IU) of the LRT dose or 0.76 +/- 0.35% of the nebulizer charge was found in the blood. Peak concentration in the blood was found 61 +/- 25 min after conclusion of inhalation, which took 15 min. We conclude that a small but significant fraction of nebulized heparin reaches the LRT. The inhaled heparin distributes uniformly in the lungs from which it clears slowly, making it suitable for local administration without induction of measurable changes in coagulation assays. Administration of the present single dose of heparin thus appears to be safe.

Abstract
Systemic thromboembolism is a major complication in patients with mitral stenosis, especially in those who have atrial fibrillation (AF). It has been suggested that there may be increased regional left atrial coagulation activity in such patients, despite normal systemic coagulation activity on peripheral blood sampling. Our aim was to investigate whether there were significant differences between intracardiac versus peripheral indexes of hypercoagulability in 25 patients (5 men; mean age 60 years) with mitral stenosis who were undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty and who were all in chronic AF. Two days after halting warfarin therapy, intracardiac (right and left atria) and peripheral (venous and arterial) blood samples from patients were obtained and compared with levels in matched healthy controls in sinus rhythm. Thrombogenicity was assessed by levels of fibrin D-dimer, fibrinogen, indexes of platelet activation (soluble P-selectin and beta thromboglobulin [betaTG]) and indexes of endothelial dysfunction (soluble thrombomodulin [sTM] and von Willebrand factor [vWF]). There were no statistically significant differences in the various markers between the femoral vein and artery, left and right atria, and between the femoral vein and both atria (all p = NS). Plasma fibrinogen, vWf (both p <0.005), and D-dimer (p = 0.011) were significantly higher and levels of sP-selectin and sTM were lower (both p <0.005) in patients when compared with controls. There was no significant difference in plasma betaTG levels. Our results suggest that there is no significant variation in indexes of thrombogenesis, platelet activation, and endothelial dysfunction between left atrium, right atrium, and the peripheral artery or vein. Peripheral samples therefore do reflect atrial coagulation, platelet, and endothelial activities.

Abstract
We compared a conventional blood donation bag system (A) with two newly developed ones (B, C) with integrated Y-shaped adapters. The new systems facilitate the withdrawal of blood samples in a closed system under aseptic conditions. The purpose of the study was to determine whether disturbances during blood donation in the different tubings influence the quality of the donated plasma due to activation processes of the coagulation system. In all bag samples from 34 probands for each system, we found higher levels of the global tests (aPTT, TT) compared to intraindividual controls. This was due to a greater amount of anticoagulant in the bag samples. An increase of procoagulant activity was demonstrated for bags A and C. Concerning the fibrinolytic system, values were reduced in all three systems compared to controls. In summary, the quality of the plasma in the three different bag devices was comparable to controls concerning factor activities measured as global tests. The activation of the coagulation system was only slightly higher in the new system B and C than in the conventional one (A). Therefore, the new closed systems are suitable for blood donation and reveal a high coagulation quality of the plasma.

Abstract
Conventional laboratory investigations of haemostasis like prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time are not useful in predicting and managing intra-operative bleeding complications. In order to establish a possible "perioperative reference range" for thrombin generation prothrombin fragment F1+2 (F1+2) and fibrin degradation (D-dimer) markers, we measured F1+2 and D-dimer concentrations before surgery (but after induction of anaesthesia), 30 minutes into surgery, 10 minutes after the event expected to induce the maximal activation of the haemostatic systems, 90 minutes after surgery and on postoperative days 1 and 2 in 226 consecutive patients. Samples were collected from arterial lines. Twenty patients developed a clinically defined, intraoperative disorder of haemostasis, 206 did not. Patients with an intraoperative disorder of haemostasis had significantly higher preoperative F1+2 and D-dimer concentrations. Preoperative values for F1+2 and D-dimer concentrations above the 75th percentile of patients without an intraoperative disorder of haemostasis indicated a 2.70 to 2.88 fold risk of developing an intraoperative disorder of haemostasis (odds ratios were 3.04, 3.12 and 3.29 for D-dimer, ELISA, F1+2, and D-dimer latex tests, respectively with 95% confidence intervals from 1.20 to 8.46) with negative predictive values of 94%, but positive predictive values of only 16% to 26%. These data suggest that preoperative determination of molecular markers might be helpful in identifying a group of patients at high risk for intraoperative disorder of haemostasis by exclusion of low risk patients. Validation of such an approach requires a prospective trial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that regional left atrial coagulation activity may be increased in mitral stenosis and perhaps contribute to the pathophysiology of left atrial thrombus. However, the relation of left atrial coagulation activity to factors that predispose to left atrial thrombus formation is unknown, and the relation between left atrial and systemic coagulation activities is unresolved. METHODS AND RESULTS Left atrial and peripheral venous levels of the coagulation marker prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (F1 + 2) were measured in 32 patients with mitral stenosis with normal clotting times and no left atrial thrombus who were undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty. Baseline peripheral venous F1 + 2 levels, measured at the beginning of the valvuloplasty procedure, did not differ from those of 30 age-matched control patients. Prevalvuloplasty left atrial F1 + 2 levels, obtained immediately after transseptal puncture, were similar to femoral venous levels in patients without left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (LASEC) (0.81 +/- 0.32 versus 0.81 +/- 0.27 nmol/L, n = 7) but greater than femoral venous levels in patients with LASEC and either sinus rhythm (1.57 +/- 0.86 versus 0.99 +/- 0.38 nmol/L, n = 16, P < .001) or atrial fibrillation (1.52 +/- 0.69 versus 0.85 +/- 0.33 nmol/L, n = 9, P < .003). Furthermore, LASEC emerged as the only significant predictor of increased regional left atrial coagulation activity (P = .005) on stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS Increased regional left atrial coagulation activity in mitral stenosis occurs in the presence of LASEC, is evident in either sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation, and is associated with normal systemic coagulation activity.
