RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and complications of component blood transfusion combined with recombinant activated factorⅦa(rFⅦa)in treatment of severe active hemorrhage after cardiac surgery??Methods Fifty patients who suffered from severe active hemorrhage after cardiac surgery were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from July 2015 to May 2017??All patients were divided into GR group ( component blood transfusion combined with rFⅦa) and GA group (component blood transfusion combined with tranexamic acid) by random number table method,25 cases in each group??The changes of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were screened on admission(D1), after cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass ( D2 ), and 2 h ( D3 ), 6 h ( D4 ) and 12 h ( D5 ) after medication??The difference of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international normalized ratio (INR),fibrinogen,hemoglobin and platelet of the two groups at each time point of D1,D2,D3,D4 and D5 were analyzed??Meanwhile, the postoperative drainage, postoperative blood transfusion, postoperative plasma transfusion volume, postoperative mechanical ventilation time, ICU retention time, the 30 d mortality and complications were compared between the two groups??Results There were significant differences in APTT, INR,fibrinogen,hemoglobin and platelet between the two groups ( all P＜0??05)??There was no significant difference in the indices of DIC screening between the two groups at D1, D2 and D5 time points ( all P＞0??05),but at D3 time point,APTT in GR group was significantly shorter than that in GA group((50??3 ±6??6)s vs??(60??1±6??5)s,P＝0??027),and INR in GR group at D4 time point was also significantly lower ((1??3 ± 0??3) vs??( 1??5 ± 0??3), P＝0??041)??In addition, the amount of red blood cells transfusion after treatment in GR group and GA group (( 3??2± 1??0) U vs??(4??1 ± 1??0) U,P＝0??005),the amount of fresh plasma transfusion ((303??2±98??5) ml vs??(469??6± 190??5) ml,P＝0??000),the amount of 24 h drainage after operation ((519??9±107??5) ml vs??(657??2±100??1) ml, P＝0??000) were significantly decreased,the differences were statistically significant??Conclusion Blood component transfusion combined with rFⅦa can significantly improve APTT and INR of severe active hemorrhage after cardiac surgery,at the same time,it can reduce the amount of red blood cells transfusion and plasma transfusion??
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of daptomycin in the treatment of left-sided infective endocarditis after failing to respond to vancomycin.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted for 6 cases of infective endocarditis.Results Five of the six infective endocarditis patients were complicated with paravalvular abscess (artificial valve in 3 cases,native valve in 2 cases).Their disease deteriorated even under vancomycin treatment.Four of these patients received emergency valve replacement surgery but still febrile after operation.The antimicrobial therapy was switched to daptomycin at dose of 6 mg/kg daily for 2 to 4 weeks.The patients responded satisfactorily to daptomycin.The infection was controlled to some extent in the fifth patient after switching to daptomycin,but recurred later,and died suddenly on day 21 after reoperation.The sixth patient had infective endocarditis of native valve,and had treated with piperacillin-tazobactam for 2 weeks and vancomycin for 3 weeks,but responded poorly.The patient still had fever and enlarged vegetation.Switching to daptomycin reduced the body temperature and vegetation.Serum creatine kinase elevated moderately in one patient,and normal in the other 5 patients.No other apparent adverse reaction was reported.One patient died and the other five patient survived well for 18 months to 5 years.Conclusions Preliminary observation demonstrates the efficacy of daptomycin salvage treatment in a few cases of left-sided infective endocarditis after failing to respond to vancomycin therapy.
