RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Coagulation profiles following major trauma vary depending on injury pattern and degree of shock. The physiologic mechanisms involved in coagulation function at any given time are varied and remain poorly understood. Thromboelastography (TEG) has been used evaluate coagulation profiles in the trauma population with some reports demonstrating a spectrum of fibrinolysis to fibrinolytic shutdown on initial presentation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the fibrinolytic profile of patients with TBI using thromboelastography (TEG). We hypothesized that patients with TBI would demonstrate low fibrinolytic activity. METHODS: All trauma activations at an ACS-verified level 1 trauma center received a TEG analysis upon arrival from December 2019 to June 2021. A retrospective review of the results and outcomes was conducted, and TBI patients were compared to patients without TBI. Linear regression was used to evaluate the effect of patient and injury factors on fibrinolysis. Hyperfibrinolysis was defined as LY30 â€‹> â€‹7.7%, physiologic fibrinolysis as LY30 0.6-7.7%, and fibrinolytic shutdown as LY30 â€‹< â€‹0.6%. RESULTS: A total of 1369 patients received an admission TEG analysis. Patients with TBI had a significantly higher median ISS (16 vs. 8, p â€‹< â€‹0.001), lower median admission Glasgow Coma Scale (14 vs. 15, p â€‹< â€‹0.001), longer intensive care unit length of stay (3 vs. 2 days, p â€‹< â€‹0.0001), increased ventilator days (216 vs. 183, p â€‹< â€‹0.001), higher mortality (14.6% vs. 5.1%, p â€‹< â€‹0.001), but lower shock index (0.6 vs. 0.7, p â€‹< â€‹0.0001) compared to those without TBI. Median LY30 was found to be decreased in the TBI group (0.1 vs. 0.2, p â€‹= â€‹0.0006). Patients with TBI were found to have a higher rate of fibrinolytic shutdown compared those without TBI (68.7% vs. 63.5%, p â€‹= â€‹0.054). ISS, sex, and shock index were found to be predictive of LY30 on linear regression, but TBI was not (Β: 0.09, SE: 0.277, p â€‹= â€‹0.745). The rate of DVT/PE did not appear to be elevated in patients with TBI (0.8%) and without TBI (1.2%). CONCLUSIONS: Trauma patients with and without TBI were found to have high rates of fibrinolytic shutdown. Although there was a high incidence of fibrinolytic shutdown, it did not appear to have an impact on the rate of thrombotic complications. The clinical significance of these results is unclear and differs significantly from recent reports which demonstrated that TBI is associated with a 25% rate of fibrinolytic shutdown. Further investigation is needed to better define the fibrinolytic pathway in patients with trauma and TBI to develop optimal treatment algorithms.

RESUMO

Although bilateral optic nerve gliomas are commonly found in patients with neurofibromatosis I, extensive gliomas involving the entire visual tracts, bilaterally are relatively rare. Usually the optic radiations are spared. We report a case of a 2-year-old child with extensive disease of bilateral visual pathways with involvement of the hypothalamus manifesting as obesity.
