Abstract
Haemorrhagic shock is frequent in critical care settings and responsible for a high mortality rate due to multiple organ dysfunction and coagulopathy. The management of critically ill patients with bleeding and shock is complex, and treatment of these patients must be rapid and definitive. The administration of large volumes of blood components leads to major physiological alterations which must be mitigated during and after bleeding. Early recognition of bleeding and coagulopathy, understanding the underlying pathophysiology related to specific disease states, and the development of individualised management protocols are important for optimal outcomes. This review describes the contemporary understanding of the pathophysiology of various types of coagulopathic bleeding; the diagnosis and management of critically ill bleeding patients, including major haemorrhage protocols and post-transfusion management; and finally highlights recent areas of opportunity to better understand optimal management strategies for managing bleeding in the intensive care unit (ICU).

Venous thromboembolism in critically ill adult patients with hematologic malignancy: a population-based cohort study. Intensive Care Med 2024; 50:222-233. [PMID: 38170226 DOI: 10.1007/s00134-023-07287-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding among hospitalized patients with hematologic malignancy, assessing its association with critical illness and other baseline characteristics. METHODS We conducted a population-based cohort study of hospitalized adults with a new diagnosis of hematologic malignancy in Ontario, Canada, between 2006 and 2017. The primary outcome was VTE (pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis). Secondary outcomes were major bleeding and in-hospital mortality. We compared the incidence of VTE between intensive care unit (ICU) and non-ICU patients and described the association of other baseline characteristics and VTE. RESULTS Among 76,803 eligible patients (mean age 67 years [standard deviation, SD, 15]), 20,524 had at least one ICU admission. The incidence of VTE was 3.7% in ICU patients compared to 1.2% in non-ICU patients (odds ratio [OR] 3.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.77-3.42). The incidence of major bleeding was 7.6% and 2.4% (OR 3.33; 95% CI 3.09-3.58), respectively. The association of critical illness and VTE remained significant after adjusting for potential confounders (OR 2.92; 95% CI 2.62-3.25). We observed a higher incidence of VTE among specific subtypes of hematologic malignancy and patients with prior VTE (OR 6.64; 95% CI 5.42-8.14). Admission more than 1 year after diagnosis of hematologic malignancy (OR 0.64; 95% CI 0.56-0.74) and platelet count ≤ 50 × 109/L at the time of hospitalization (OR 0.63; 95% CI 0.48-0.84) were associated with a lower incidence of VTE. CONCLUSION Among patients with hematologic malignancy, critical illness and certain baseline characteristics were associated with a higher incidence of VTE.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1277676. [PMID: 38034377 PMCID: PMC10682651 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1277676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Genetic and acquired risk factors are fundamental to developing venous thromboembolism. Autosomal dominant protein S deficiency caused by pathogenic mutations in the PROS1 gene is a well-known risk factor for thrombophilia. Case presentation We report a 30-year-old male patient who presented to the hospital with portal vein thrombosis. The patient had a history of abdominal pain for one month. Abdominal vascular CT showed venous thrombosis in the portal vein and superior mesenteric vein. He was diagnosed with "portal and superior mesenteric vein thrombosis, small bowel obstruction and necrosis, acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB), hemorrhagic shock." Serum protein S levels were decreased, and gene sequencing revealed a heterozygous missense mutation in PROS1, c.1571T > G (p.Leu584Arg). The patient received anticoagulation therapy with Enoxaparin Sodium and rivaroxaban, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), and ICU treatments. Although the patient had a severe bleeding event during anticoagulation therapy, he recovered well after active treatment and dynamic monitoring of anti-Xa. Conclusion Hereditary protein S deficiency caused by a mutation in the PROS1 gene is the genetic basis of this patient, and Enoxaparin Sodium and rivaroxaban have been shown to be highly effective.

Prevalence of Venous Thromboembolism in Intensive Care Units: A Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11226691. [PMID: 36431168 PMCID: PMC9698016 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11226691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life threating complication in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to pool the prevalence of VTE and examined the risk factors of VTE in intensive care patients worldwide. METHODS A systematic search in PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science databases was performed. Studies reported that the data on the prevalence of VTE or relevant information were synthesized using a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 42 studies reporting on 27,344 patients were included. The pooled prevalence of VTE was 10.0% (95% CI: 7.0-14.0%). Subgroup and metaregression analyses found that thromboprophylaxis strategy, simplified acute physiology score (SAPS II), age, study quality, sample size, malignancy, sex, spinal cord injury and injury severity score (ISS) moderated the prevalence of VTE in intensive care patients. CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis revealed a high prevalence of VTE in critically ill patients. The risk factors of VTE included thromboprophylaxis strategy, SAPS II, age, malignancy, sex, spinal cord injury and ISS. Therefore, we need to pay more attention to high-risk populations of VTE in intensive care patients.
