Late changes in hemostatic parameters following open-heart surgery.

F Mori, Y Nakahara, S Kurata

    The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
    |November 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Open-heart surgery temporarily alters blood clotting. Hemostatic parameters like platelet counts and fibrinogen levels initially decrease but rapidly recover, indicating a homeostatic response.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Hemostasis and Thrombosis
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Open-heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass significantly impacts patient physiology.
    • Understanding post-operative hemostatic changes is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate changes in hemostatic parameters after open-heart surgery.
    • To evaluate the clinical significance of these hemostatic alterations.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of twelve patients undergoing open-heart surgery.
    • Monitoring of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, platelet counts, fibrinogen levels, fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP), and plasmin inhibitors (alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-macroglobulin) for two weeks post-surgery.

    Main Results:

    • No clinical hemostatic abnormalities observed.
    • Transient depletion of platelets and fibrinogen on day one, followed by recovery above normal levels within seven days.
    • Elevated fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP) in 92% of patients, correlating with postoperative blood loss.
    • Increased alpha 1-antitrypsin levels, while alpha 2-macroglobulin remained unchanged.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemostatic changes post-open-heart surgery involve fibrinolytic system activation and temporary coagulation factor depletion.
    • Subsequent hypercoagulability is suggested by rapid normalization and elevation of coagulation factors and plasmin inhibitors.
    • These observed hemostatic shifts are likely part of the body's homeostatic response to surgical stress.
