The effect of haemodilution on coagulation has been extensively investigated. We investigated auto-haemodilution following a 10% blood loss (480 ml) and its effect on coagulation. Ten healthy, unstarved volunteers were enrolled. One unit of blood was taken from each volunteer. Concurrently blood was taken from the opposite arm prior to and immediately after the blood donation, and at 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours. It was tested for thrombelastography, haematocrit and endorphins. There was a significant decrease in r-time from the control sample to the sample taken immediately post blood donation. This value returned to baseline at 1 hour post donation and did not change again. There were no other significant changes in thromboelastographic parameters. Fractional plasma noradrenaline changes were significantly raised at 1 hour post donation (P=0.048), returning to baseline by 2 hours post donation. The haematocrit showed a rapid (~4%) fall during donation followed by a slow, but progressive decrease over six hours, falling by a mean of 8.3% from pre-donation values. A state of relative hypercoagulability is found immediately after a rapid 10% loss in circulating blood volume. This may be related to the rapid immediate haemodilution. It is unlikely that the sympathetic response to blood loss plays a role. However, after the initial drop, slow restoration of circulating blood volume by autodilution takes six to eight hours, and is not associated with enhanced coagulation. Of interest is that a 10% blood loss in a healthy person does not require volume replacement.

Functional Changes

In the article, there are considered questions of physiological changes of the blood volume status during pregnancy, parturition and in the postpartum period, features of functional and structural changes of the cardiovascular system. The determination of the circulating blood volume is still a stumbling block for obstetrician-gynecologists and anesthesiologists-resuscitators. Our view of the normal blood volume status during pregnancy is important in light of the assessment of the blood loss in the development of massive obstetric hemorrhage. The doctor needs to know what changes in the cardiovascular system are physiological and which are pathological in case of blood loss, with taking into account the functional changes in the heart that occur during pregnancy, parturition and in the earliest postpartum period. A deeper understanding of this problem will help the doctor avoid aggressive infusion therapy, which can lead to complications.

Aim. To conduct a retrospective analysis of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss during removal of brain tumors with the usage of tranexamic acid and infusion correction of hemodynamically significant blood losses. Methods. The study included 139 patients operated on for tumors of the brain and spinal cord, and treated with tranexamic acid. Distribution of patients according to the volume of blood loss was as follows: the first group - up to 500 ml of blood loss, 48 patients (34.5%); the second group - 500-1200 ml of blood loss, 72 patients (51.7%); the third group - more than 1200 ml of blood loss, 19 patients (13.9%). Results. The retrospective analysis has shown that 34.5% of patients (first group) were operated with the lowest blood loss - up to 10% of the circulating blood volume; 51.7% of patients (second group) - with a blood loss of 20 to 30% of the circulating blood volume. In the third group, which included 13.9% of patients, there was a blood loss of more than 30% of the circulating blood volume, which is defined as hemodynamically significant. It is in the third group, as shown by the analysis, that in addition a therapeutic dose of tranexamic acid 15-20 mg/kg was administered. The extent and intensity of intraoperative blood loss were dependent on many factors, mainly on the nature of the tumor process. Conclusion. It was established that the changes of the hemostatic system were depended on the degree of hemodilution; the use of tranexamic acid made it possible to reduce the amount of postoperative blood loss, despite the degree of intraoperative blood loss.

Цель исследования - изучение способности фибрин-мономера предупреждать тяжелую интраоперационную кровопотерю, ассоциированную с введением нефракционированного гепарина, при дозированной травме печени. Методика. На кроликах «Шиншилла» индуцировали гипокоагуляцию нефракционированным гепарином (150 ед/кг). Профилактику интраоперационных кровотечений осуществляли внутривенным введением фибрин-мономера (0,25 мг/кг) за 1 ч до травмы или протамина сульфата (1,5 мг/кг) за 10 мин до травмы. После нанесения стандартной травмы печени оценивали объем (в % ОЦК) и темп (мг/с) кровопотери. Анализировали число тромбоцитов, активированное парциальное тромбопластиновое время, протромбиновое и тромбиновое время свертывания, уровень фибриногена и активность антитромбина III, параметры ротационной тромбоэластометрии крови. Результаты. Объем кровопотери в группах животных после в/в введения фибрин-мономера и протамина сульфата на фоне гепаринизации был, соответственно, в 5,1 и 4,0 раза меньше по сравнению с группой плацебо, получавшей тот же антикоагулянт. Вместе с тем, фибрин-мономер не влиял на параметры коагулограммы (отсутствие видимого гемостазиологического эффекта) и тромбоэластограммы, тогда как применение протамина сульфата в качестве антидота гепарина сопровождалось нормализацией данных тромбоэластометрии и коррекцией гипокоагуляционного сдвига по активированному парциальному тромбопластиновому времени, протромбиновому и тромбиновому времени. Заключение. Установлено, что фибрин-мономер (0,25 мг/кг) снижает посттравматическое кровотечение в условиях блокады свертывания крови гепарином без видимых признаков восстановления гемостатического равновесия. The research objective was to study the ability of fibrin monomer to prevent severe intraoperative blood loss associated with administration of unfractionated heparin in controlled liver injury. Methods. Hypocoagulation was induced in chinchilla rabbits with unfractionated heparin (150 U/kg). Intraoperative bleeding was prevented by administration of fibrin monomer (FM, 0.25 mg/kg, i.v.) one hour prior to the injury and of protamine sulfate (PS, 1.5 mg/kg, i.v.) 10 min prior to the injury. Following the liver injury, blood loss was assessed as percentage of circulating blood volume and the blood loss rate (mg/s). Platelet counts, aPTT, PT, TT, fibrinogen level, antithrombin III activity, and parameters of blood rotation thromboelastometry were analyzed. Results. The volume of blood loss was 5.1 times and 4.0 times less, respectively, after the FM and PS administration during heparinization compared to the placebo group treated with the same anticoagulant. However, FM affected neither coagulogram indexes (no visible hemostasiological effect) nor thromboelastogram while the use of PS as an antidote for heparin was associated with normalization of thromboelastometric data and correction of hypercoagulative changes in aPTT, PT, TT. Conclusion. FM at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg reduced severity of posttraumatic bleeding induced by heparin inhibition of coagulation with no visible signs of hemostatic balance recovery.

The first successful blood transfusions were aimed at saving lives of patients with acute blood loss, application of donated blood is much wider today. Expansion of informational work with donors, including development of understanding in a donor concerning importance of the donor program in patient’s life, as well as creation of the Blood Service, which is responsible for promotion, collection of blood and its components, their storage and transportation, contributes to the development of regular and ongoing donation. The author reviewed the regulatory framework for blood donation.

It has been postulated that unsuccessful resuscitation of victims of accidental hypothermia is caused by insufficient tissue oxygenation. The aim of this study was to test whether inadequate O2supply and/or malfunctioning O2extraction occur during rewarming from deep/profound hypothermia of different duration. Three groups of rats ( n = 7 each) were used: group 1 served as normothermic control for 5 h; groups 2 and 3 were core cooled to 15°C, kept at 15°C for 1 and 5 h, respectively, and then rewarmed. In both hypothermic groups, cardiac output (CO) decreased spontaneously by >50% in response to cooling. O2consumption fell to less than one-third during cooling but recovered completely in both groups during rewarming. During hypothermia, circulating blood volume in both groups was reduced to approximately one-third of baseline, indicating that some vascular beds were critically perfused during hypothermia. CO recovered completely in animals rewarmed after 1 h ( group 2) but recovered to only 60% in those rewarmed after 5 h ( group 3), whereas blood volume increased to approximately three-fourths of baseline in both groups. Metabolic acidosis was observed only after 5 h of hypothermia (15°C). A significant increase in myocardial tissue heat shock protein 70 after rewarming in group 3, but not in group 2, indicates an association with the duration of hypothermia. Thus mechanisms facilitating O2extraction function well during deep/profound hypothermia, and, despite low CO, O2supply was not a limiting factor for survival in the present experiments.

Введение. Ранее было показано, что фибринмономер (ФМ) в низких дозировках обладает системным гемостатическим действием в условиях дозированной травмы. Авторами выдвинута гипотеза, согласно которой ФМ способен оказывать регулирующее гемостатическое действие in vivo на фоне сниженного гемостатического потенциала. Цель исследования: изучение системных гемостатических и гемостазиологических эффектов ФМ на фоне дозированной травмы печени при гипокоагуляции, обусловленной приемом варфарина. Материалы и методы. В работе использовали 40 кроликов породы Шиншилла. Для индукции кумаринобусловленной гипокоагуляции животным per os вводили варфарин в дозе 0,4 0,5 мг/кг 14 дней до достижения международного нормализованного отношения (МНО) более 2,0. Далее животным в краевую вену уха вводили концентрат факторов протромбино вого комплекса (КФПК) в дозе 40 ЕД/кг, ФМ в дозе 0,25 мг/кг или плацебо. Через 1 ч после введения препаратов наносили травму печени и оценивали кровопотерю (в процентах от объема циркулирующей крови). Исследовали число тромбоцитов, активированное парциальное тромбопластиновое время, МНО, содержание фибриногена и Ддимера, оценивали результаты тромбоэластографии крови. Результаты. Объем кровопотери в группах животных после внутривенного введения ФМ и КФПК на фоне приема варфарина был в 9,1 раза и 6,7 раза меньше, соответственно, по сравнению с группой плацебо, получавшей тот же антикоагулянт. Вместе с тем ФМ не влиял на параметры коагулограммы (отсутствие видимого гемостазиологического эффекта) и тромбоэластограммы, тогда как применение КФПК в качестве антидота варфарина сопровождалось нормализацией параметров тромбоэластометрии и коррекцией гипокоагуляционного сдвига по МНО. Заключение. Установлено, что ФМ способен проявлять свое системное гемостатическое действие в условиях сниженного тромбинообразования, обусловленного нарушением синтеза витамин Кзависимых факторов свертывания крови. Данное действие реализуется без признаков восстановления гемостатического равновесия. Introduction. It was shown earlier that fibrinmonomer (FM) in low doses had a systemic hemostatic effect in a controlled injury condition. The authors suggest that FM is able to exert a regulating hemostatic effect in vivo under reduced hemostatic potential. Aim: to study the systemic hemostatic and hemostasiological effects of FM under controlled liver injury during hypocoagulation caused by warfarin administration. Materials and methods. In this study 40 Chinchilla rabbits were used. For the induction of coumarinmediated hypocoagulation, animals were administered per os warfarin at a dose of 0.4 0.5 mg/kg for 14 days, until an international normalized ratio (INR) was more than 2.0. Subsequently, a prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) at a dose of 40 U/kg, FM at a dose of 0.25 mg/kg or placebo were administered into the marginal ear vein of the animals. An hour later, a liver injury was inflicted and blood loss was assessed (in percents of the circulating blood volume). The number of platelets, activated partial thromboplastin time, INR, levels of fibrinogen and Ddimer were studied and the results of blood thromboelastography were evaluated. Results. Blood loss volume in animals groups after intravenous administration of FM and PPC, under warfarin reception, was 9.1 times and 6.7 times less, respectively, compared to the placebo group receiving the same anticoagulant. However, FM did not affect on coagulogram parameters (no visible hemostasiological effect) and thromboelastogram, whereas the use of PPC as warfarin antidote was accompanied by the normalization of thromboelastometry parameters and hypocoagulation shift correction according to INR. Conclusion. It was found that FM able to manifest its systemic hemostatic effect in conditions of reduced thrombin formation caused by impaired synthesis of vitamin Kdependent blood coagulation factors. This effect is implemented without any signs of recovery of hemostatic balance.

Abstract. We studied the changes in plasma arginine vasopressin in 5 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis and one patient with non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma who had marked hyperglycemia (36.6 ± 4.6 mmol/l, mean ± sem) and dehydration. Plasma osmolality (Posm) was 342.2 ± 11.4 mOsm/kg H2O, and hematocrit, serum protein, and blood urea nitrogen were also elevated at hospitalization. Circulating blood volume was decreased by approximately 21% as compared with that on day 7. Plasma AVP level was increased to 8.5 ± 1.6 pmol/l at hospitalization. When hyperglycemia was improved by iv infusion of a small dose of insulin plus fluid administration, plasma AVP level promptly decreased to 2.4 ± 0.4 pmol/l within six hours. When plasma AVP level had normalized, Posm was still as high as 305 mOsm/kg H2O, but the loss of circulating blood volume was only 4.2% of the control state. Plasma AVP level was positively correlated with change in hematocrit (plasma AVP = 3.58 + 0.45 · hematocrit, r = 0.468, p < 0.01), serum protein (r = 0.487, p < 0.01), Posm (r = 0.388, p < 0.01), and blood glucose (r = 0.582, p < 0.01). Plasma AVP level was negatively correlated with the change in circulating blood volume (plasma AVP = 3.6 – 0.14 · change in circulating blood volume, r = −0.469, p <0.01). These results indicate that both non-osmotic and osmotic stimuli are involved in the mechanism for AVP release in patients with diabetic coma, and that the non-osmotic control of AVP may contribute to circulating homeostasis, protecting against severe blood volume depletion in diabetic patients suffering from hyperglycemia and dehydration.

The correlation among cardiac output (CO), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), fractional tubular sodium rejection (TFRNa), and renal excretion rates of water and salt was investigated during ischemic blood volume expansion in rats. Initially circulating blood volume was equilibrated isovolemically with a reservoir volume of 6% albumin solution equal to one-third the estimated blood volume. Later the equilibrated reservoir contents were infused intravenously. CO was measured by thermodilution, GFR by inulin clearance. Significant linear correlations existed between GFR and the rates of urine flow (r = 0.90), sodium excretion (r = 0.75) and potassium excretion (r = 0.76) that prevailed 5--10 min after a given GFR change. The increased GFR was highly correlated with CO (r = 0.94), probably correlated with mean central venous pressure (r = 0.45), but not correlated with mean abdominal aortic blood pressure. The correlation between CO and time-delayed (5--10 min) TRFNa was also highly significant (r = 0.98). The saluresis appears to have been caused initially by increased tubular load and subsequently by decreased absolute tubular reabsorption.
