The influence of preoperative anticoagulation on heparin response during cardiopulmonary bypass

Institute for Anesthesiology, German Heart Center, Munich.

The effect of preoperative anticoagulant therapy on intraoperative heparin response in patients undergoing cardiac operations was examined in a prospective study. The study included 45 patients with different preoperative anticoagulant treatments: 10 patients received treatment with phenprocoumon (a warfarin analogue) (group M), 12 patients received treatment with intravenous heparin (group Hiv), and 13 patients received treatment with subcutaneous heparin (group Hsc). The control group consisted of 10 patients who did not receive anticoagulant therapy before operation (group C). Preoperative antithrombin III activity was highest in group M (85% +/- 6%) and lowest in group Hiv (70% +/- 15%, p less than 0.05). The activated clotting time, determined 10 minutes after bolus injection of 250 IU (group M) or 375 IU heparin (all other groups), was 529 +/- 109 seconds in group C, greater than 1000 seconds in group M, 483 +/- 99 seconds in group Hsc, and 406 +/- 63 seconds in group Hiv (p less than 0.05). Heparin consumption during cardiopulmonary bypass varied between 4.6 +/- 1.4 IU/kg.min (group Hiv) and 2.6 +/- 0.9 IU/kg.min (group M) (p less than 0.05). Despite this increased heparin consumption, the patients who had received heparin before operation demonstrated increased activation of coagulation at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (thrombin-antithrombin III complex, 19 +/- 4.1 ng/ml in group M and 61 +/- 7 ng/ml in group Hsc, p less than 0.05; cross-linked fibrin fragments, 257 +/- 92 ng/ml in group M and 875 +/- 152 ng/ml in group Hiv, p less than 0.05). Increased platelet activation was also found in patients with preoperative heparin therapy (beta-thromboglobulin at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass was 585 +/- 88 ng/ml in group M versus 1341 +/- 190 ng/ml in group Hsc, p less than 0.05). Drainage from the chest tube 24 hours after operation was 815 +/- 305 ml in group C, 644 +/- 238 ml in group M, 1133 +/- 503 ml in group Hsc, and 950 +/- 505 ml in group Hiv (p less than 0.05 for group M versus group Hsc). This study suggests that patients who receive heparin therapy before operation face a high risk of insufficient anticoagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass if standard heparin doses are used. Therefore, for patients who receive preoperative heparin therapy, a larger (500 IU/kg) initial bolus of heparin is recommended before cardiopulmonary bypass. On the other hand, patients who undergo preoperative treatment with phenprocoumon receive sufficient anticoagulative effect with a heparin bolus of 250 IU/kg.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
