syndrome. In type 2 diabetes, EC dysfunction begins before the clinical onset of diabetes [6668]. Patients with insulin­decient diabetes (type 1) have multiple EC dysfunctions. EC dysfunction resulting in dysregulation of vascular tone, organ perfusion derangement, inhibition of inammation/ trans-endothelial transport of blood solutes, prevention of coagulation, and initiation of angiogenesis [6875]. High fat diet has been shown to impair delivery of insulin to the interstitial space causing a dysfunction in endothelial insulin signaling [73]. Hyperglycemia causes mitochondrial frag­mentation, and dysfunction leading to increased mitochon­drial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and vascular tone dysregulation, which is secondary to rapid breakdown of nitric oxide (NO) [73, 76, 77]. This has been suggested as the etiology of EC dysfunction in patients with diabetes. However, various studies have shown it is multifactorial and not just hyperglycemia (Fig.22.13).
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) found in the abdomen and blood vessels, have been described to control insulin sensitivity and endothelial function. They have shown to be critically involved in the regulation of local vascular tone and inammation [68, 7981]. PVAT is reported to be impaired in obesity and type 2 diabetes [70, 77, 82]. PVAT inam­mation has been associated with hypoperfusion of adipose tissue, leading to concomitant hypoxia, which may alter adi­pocyte secretion, thus causing dysfunction in vascular tone.
Neoplasm
There are multiple tumors of endothelial origin; some are benign while others malignant. Examples of benign tumors are hemangioma and lymphangioma, while angiosarcoma is a malignant tumor. Benign tumors are lined with a layer of normal endothelial cells, lled with blood cells or lymph. Malignant tumors do not have well-organized conduits and are composed of more disorganized cells, that are constantly proliferating with no distinct morphology. CD-31 and von Willebrand’s factor are endothelial markers used to identify malignant cells with poor atypia immunohistochemically [83]. Hemangiomas are very common tumors which are characterized by normal and abnormal blood vessels lled with blood. They are common in infancy and early child­hood and are usually localized even though they are quite ubiquitous. Capillary hemangiomas spontaneously regress and rarely undergo malignant transformation. Cavernous hemangiomas are associated with abnormal blood vessel for­mation in deep tissues and are likely to cause pressure symp­toms or rupture. Lymphangiomas are analogous to blood vessel hemangiomas but devoid of erythrocytes. There are two types, simple (capillary) and cavernous lymphangioma (cystic hygroma). They are quite common in the head, neck, and axilla of children. Angiosarcomas are malignant endo­thelial cell tumors common in adults. Angiosarcomas are associated with carcinogen exposure: arsenics, thorotrast,

polyvinyl chloride, and tumors such as lymphangiosarcoma and are poorly differentiated. In contrast to angiosarcomas, hemangiomas are well differentiated.
Anesthetic Considerations
Acute Critical Illness andEndotheliopathy
Acute critically ill patients scheduled for operative interven­tion may have multisystem organ dysfunction that emanates from endotheliopathy [84]. The endothelium and glycocalyx are normally naturally anticoagulated by heparinoids, tis­sue factor pathway inhibitor, thrombomodulin system, and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). These factors interact with other mediators to dissolve forming clots [84]. In acute severe trauma, sepsis, post cardiac arrest and MI, endothelial inammation, and dysfunction in the anticoagulation system causes hypocoagulation [85]. In addition, there is shock­induced sympatho-adrenal hyperactivation which leads to endotheliopathy. This endothelial injury induces a severe imbalance between the quiescent and activated state, leading to hypoperfusion and increased mortality (Fig.22.14). One in four patients admitted to and from the emergency room have some form of coagulopathy [85]. While many patients have other causes such as drug reaction or side effect, the coagulopathy that is associated with acute trauma, septic shock, bacteremia, myocardial infarction, and post cardiac arrest syndrome has a mortality rate that is three to four times higher (mortality rate of 50%) than patients with these same diagnosis without coagulopathy [86].
Preoperative Consideration
The widespread presence of EC throughout the body means that EC dysfunction may lead to generalized organ derange­ments and various associated conditions. Preoperatively, it is necessary to perform a thorough evaluation. Prior medi­cal conditions such as a cerebral vascular accident, cardio-
vascular changes, pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and medication history need to be reviewed. The planned surgical procedure and acuity of the surgery needs to be ascertained. The risks and benets should be discussed with the patient, surgeon, and anesthesiologist. Appropriate pre­operative workup, anesthetic planning, and postoperative course must be carefully addressed. Patient presenting to the operating room with severe trauma, sepsis, acute MI, and post cardiac arrest syndrome has coagulopathy and adrenal­catecholamine hyperstimulation. While the approach has been supportive and addressing matters as they evolve in the past, recent reports suggest that beta blockers and ACE inhibitors may help to optimize microcirculation through reduction or reversal of endothelial injury. This is accom­plished through their impact on inhibiting the catecholamine surge associated with endotheliopathy [84].
Intraoperative Consideration
On arrival to the operating room, the standard monitors and other monitoring modalities needed should be applied based on the patient’s comorbidities. Invasive versus non-invasive blood pressure management, echocardiogram, glucose, and temper­ature monitoring should all be considered on a case-by-case basis. It is imperative in each case to preclude potential intra­operative sequelae following induction and the possible effect of the anesthetic administered. Intraoperative bleeding can be decreased through efforts to reduce glycocalyx and endothelial injury [87]. In a recent randomized study in patients undergo­ing emergent thoracic aortic dissection surgery, and required transfusion, patients who received Octaplast LG (solvent/ detergent-treated pooled plasma) when compared to standard FFP, the former patients (Octaplas LG) had reduced glyco­calyx and endothelial injury, reduced bleeding, less transfu­sion requirements, use of prohemostatics, and ventilator days post operatively [88]. The concern raised is routine transfu­sion with glycocalyx, leading to barrier erosion which may cause coagulation dysfunction, endothelium inammation, and injury due to contaminants or substances in the blood [87,

89]. Furthermore, in animal models with hemorrhagic shock,
it has been shown that plasma administration when compared to crystalloid is associated with improved endothelial integrity and restoration of the glycocalyx layer [89].
Postoperative Consideration
Patients with EC dysfunction may be at risk for bleeding, hyper-hypoglycemia, and cardiovascular or cerebrovascular event. Depending on the severity of the clinical presentation, postoperative care of patients with endotheliopathy and dis­eases associated vascular endothelial dysfunction needs to be carefully planned before the end of the intraoperative course. Transition of care for patients with conditions involving EC dysfunction should be closely monitored. Appropriate care assessment, discussion, and planning may preclude potential complications.
Prevention/Management
The Western diet is high in unsaturated fats, and the lifestyle has become more sedentary compared to Mediterranean and Oriental diet [14]. Hence, there is a signicant progression of adverse cardiovascular risk factors in western population. Pharmacological, physical activity, and lifestyle modica­tion often may not treat or prevent EC dysfunction.
Pharmacological
The ubiquitous nature of ECs allow ECs to be plastic and amendable to therapeutic intervention [14]. Hence, ECs are reliable conduits for therapeutic interventions of vari­ous pathologic conditions. Multiple medications for hyper­tension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, thrombosis, and cancers have been synthesized and prescribed to patients to prevent or treat the associated clinical sequelae of endothelial dys­function. These medications have not shown to be curative for the various disorders associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction. There is a signicant need for physical activity and lifestyle modication adjuncts.
selectin) for endothelial damage. However, these markers were absent in CHF patients who exercised regularly [91,
92]. It was also interesting to note that diet and exercise have
synergistic effects as opposed to modication from either modality diet or exercise.
Lifestyle Modication
It has been established that various types of fats, saturated, monounsaturated, and trans-fatty acids [9496], have been implicated in endothelial dysfunction. These specic fats have been found in partial hydrogenation of vegetable oils commonly found in margarine, pastry products, and frozen foods. A Mediterranean diet low in saturated fats, high in vegetables content, and olive oil (which contains oleic and linoleic acids) reduces endothelial dysfunction, insulin resis­tance, and markers of vascular inammation [97100]. In addition, polyphenols found in fruits, cereals, olive, vege­tables, legumes, chocolate, tea, coffees and wine [101, 102] have antioxidant properties and are known to prevent endo­thelial dysfunction [103]. Melatonin and red wine also have antioxidant properties.
Conclusion
ECs play an important role in the homeostasis of the body, but dysfunction of EC is implicated in various inammatory states and multiple organ system pathology. The goal of this chapter is to highlight the various pathologies associated with EC dysfunction and how it impacts anesthetic care. An overview of the potential complications and conditions asso­ciated with EC dysfunction is useful for the anesthesiologist and other anesthesia care providers to prevent or decrease perioperative morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of vascu­lar endothelial dysfunction and inammatory states can help guide anesthetic assessment, plan, and management. The different pathologic states associated with endothelial dys­function have signicant socioeconomic and public health impact. Adequate knowledge and modalities to address these various pathologies will ultimately improve the global and public health burden associated with diabetes and other car­diovascular diseases.
Physical Activity
A few studies have shown that moderate-intensity aero­bic exercise improves endothelial function in animals and humans with and without cardiovascular risk factors [90
93]. Exercise training has been shown to ameliorate inam-
mation [14]. Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have increased markers (tumor necrosis factor a, ICAM-1, and E

Overview andIntroduction
Transfusion in obstetrics presents unique challenges and considerations. The most common indication for transfusion in this population is post partum hemorrhage (PPH). Obstetrical blood management goes hand in hand with PPH. One cannot become procient in obstetrical blood management without intimate knowledge of PPH.Likewise, properly managing PPH should lead to a decreased need for blood products, which is the best strategy when it can be attained. Therefore, this chapter will begin with the critical management steps for PPH that should lead to a decreased need for transfusion and will end with specic transfusion management strategies.
Epidemiology andDenition
Post partum hemorrhage affects approximately 2% of partu­rients [1, 2] and is one of the leading causes of maternal deaths worldwide, accounting for over 27% of maternal deaths [3].
Post partum hemorrhage was classically dened as esti­mated blood loss (EBL) >500mL for a vaginal delivery and EBL >1000mL for a cesarean delivery and was divided into primary PPH, occurring within 24hours of birth, and sec­ondary PPH, occurring more than 24 hours and up to 12weeks post partum. However, these denitions are overly simplistic, and current denitions vary by society and expert

opinion [410]. Further, since blood loss is difcult to esti­mate and is often underestimated, societies including ACOG [4] have created programs such as the reVITALize program to standardize denitions in obstetrics and have included other metrics in addition to blood loss such as vital sign changes as supplemental criteria regardless of the estimated blood loss (EBL). Additionally, although some dene PPH as EBL >1000 mL, which would decrease the number of patients labeled with PPH, blood loss greater than 500mL for a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) is still considered to be abnormal [4] and should prompt an escala­tion of care.
Risk Factors forObstetric Hemorrhage
Several studies have identied risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage and are presented in Table23.1.
While identifying patients at risk for PPH is an important step in hemorrhage planning and management, probably the most important take away is that there is a very high incidence

of PPH in patients with no known risk factors. Risk strati­cation tools have not proven to be specic. In fact, Bateman etal. in a population study of almost 900,000 deliveries with more than 25,000 episodes of PPH found that in patients aged 20–40 years who had a normal spontaneous vaginal delivery (NSVD) complicated by atony that required transfu­sion, only 38% of patients had one of the risk factors tested [13]. The conclusion is that even though we can identify high risk patients with scoring systems, every patient on the labor oor is at risk for PPH. This highlights the importance of labor and delivery units being prepared with plans and resources to rapidly respond to unexpected hemorrhage events. Specic management strategies will be discussed later in this chapter.
Preventing PPH andBlood Transfusion
The most important step in obstetrical transfusion manage­ment is preventing obstetrical hemorrhage. It is important to recognize that PPH is frequently preventable and represents an area for improvement in obstetric care and outcomes. Several major obstetric and anesthesiology societies recom­mend the use of uterotonic medications as rst-line preven­tion of PPH. An active type and screen should also be obtained and conrmed at the rst sign of hemorrhage, if not in all obstetric patients at the time of presentation in labor [4,
15], as discussed above, unanticipated hemorrhage in
patients with few or no risk factors is not uncommon.
When thinking about preventing PPH, it is important to recall that the vast majority of PPH cases (60–80%) are due to uterine atony, followed by retained placenta, defects in coagulation, uterine inversion, and genital tract trauma [13,
14], which are summarized as the 4 Ts in Table23.2.
Active management of the third stage of labor (delivery of the placenta) reduces the risk of PPH and is dened as administration of a prophylactic uterotonic [16], early umbil­ical cord clamping, and controlled cord traction to facilitate

placental delivery. Active management of the third stage of labor is recommended for every delivery, and oxytocin or its analogue carbetocin, which causes uterine contraction and prostaglandin production, is considered to be the drug of choice for rst-line treatment. Per a Cochrane meta-analysis, oxytocin was found to probably reduce blood loss and the need for additional uterotonics, though optimal dose and timing have yet to be determined [6, 1619]. When neces­sary, additional uterotonics such as misoprostol, methylergo­novine, and carboprost have been shown to be effective when used with or immediately following oxytocin [2026]. It is important to keep in mind that each uterotonic comes with potential side effects and may be contraindicated in patients with certain conditions, summarized in Table23.3.
Occasionally, in cases where severe hemorrhage is antici­pated and would be challenging to control, such as in pla­centa percreta, surgical strategies to prevent bleeding may be employed. Arterial balloon catheters may be placed in a pre­emptive manner and are most commonly placed in the uter­ine arteries; however more proximal balloons in the iliac arteries and the aorta have also been used [29]. Uterine artery embolization has been used in such a manner for both pro­phylactic control of bleeding [30] or as a rescue measure as part of a uterine conservation strategy [31]. A signicant number of patients, however, will continue to bleed in spite of uterine artery embolization given the redundancy of blood ow to the uterus [32], and in these cases emergent uterine artery embolization or hysterectomy may be required.
Recognition andQuantication ofPPH
One of the largest challenges in obstetrical blood manage­ment is estimating how much blood has been lost and deter­mining how much blood to replace. Physiologic perturbations are often late signs of hypovolemia in young, healthy parturi­ent [33]. Peripheral and splanchnic vasoconstriction facili­tates the relocation of blood from venous capacitance vessels to the central circulation, allowing blood pressure and heart rate to remain near normal until blood loss exceeds 1500mL in most parturient [33].
Other indicators of blood loss, such as hematocrit and lac­tate levels, also present challenging limitations. Changes in hematocrit and hemoglobin often take hours to manifest, and

a nadir may not be reached until post partum day 2 or 3 [34] and are further confounded by crystalloid administration as well as clinical states such as pre eclampsia where vascular permeability is altered [35, 36]. Arterial lactate levels have been successfully used as a surrogate marker for tissue perfu­sion in trauma [37, 38], sepsis [39], and gastrointestinal bleed­ing [40], and the lactate level trend and absolute value have been used in obstetrics to assess oxygen delivery and the need for transfusion or to assess for the efcacy of interventions aimed at facilitating tissue perfusion, though data supporting their use in PPH is limited. However, the utility of both hema­tocrit and lactate testing may be limited by the availability of point-of-care testing and laboratory turn around times. In fact, they may result so late as to provide no clinical value to a pro­vider managing an acute or rapid hemorrhage.
Patient Blood Management andPPH
Current guidelines for transfusion are based on evidence spe­cic to the non-pregnant adult major trauma and military medicine patient and recommend the use of formulaic trans­fusion of packed red blood cells (PRBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and cryoprecipitate in xed ratios [41, 42]. However, the baseline coagulation prole of a pregnant patient and a non-pregnant patient is very different, and there is no data to extrapolate the formulaic transfusion used in trauma and military medicine to obstetric hemorrhage [4143]. This is especially true in regard to components such as brinogen (discussed below) in which transfusion of plasma-based products can incite a dilutional coagulopathy.
First, we will discuss the change in coagulation status in the term parturient and subsequently the impact of the coag­ulopathy of PPH on this coagulation status, with emphasis on brinogen level as a therapeutic target. Next, we will dis­cuss steps in anticipation for PPH including blood product availability and triggers for transfusion of PRBC specically. Further, we will discuss massive transfusion protocols in obstetric anesthesia, transfusion of incompatible blood in a patient with multiple antibodies, and cell salvage. Importantly, we will stress the ability of viscoelastic testing to overcome many of the shortfalls of traditional coagulation testing in the management of PPH.Finally, we will discuss pharmacologic adjuncts including antibrinolytics, brino­gen concentrates, prothrombin complex concentrates, recombinant activated factor VIIa, and calcium in obstetrical blood management.
Change inCoagulation Factors inthePregnant Patient
Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state [43, 44]. In the preg­nant patient, there is an increase in procoagulant activity
(characterized by increases in factors V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, von Willebrand factor, and brinogen) and a decrease in endogenous anticoagulant activity (characterized by increases in heparin cofactor I1 antitrypsin, protein S activ­ity, and activated protein C resistance) [ count may decrease during pregnancy (gestational thrombo­cytopenia) but rarely occurs to a level that contributes to risk of bleeding [45].
The change in brinogen in a term pregnancy is important and signicant; brinogen level in a pregnant patient at term ranges from 350 to 650mg/dL, which is nearly double in the brinogen level in a non-pregnant patient [43]. The change in brinogen may not be reected in a facility’s reference range, which may cause the under-recognition of hypobri­nogenemia. Other laboratory markers of coagulation such as the prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) do not usually become abnormal during obstetric hemorrhage until large volumes of blood have already been lost [
43].
43, 44]. Platelet
Coagulopathy inPostpartum Hemorrhage
Coagulopathy associated with PPH is likely a complex inter­action between dilution, local consumption, disseminated consumption, and increased brinolysis [46, 47]. Although an increase in procoagulant activity is seen in the pregnant patient, these protective mechanisms may be quickly over­come in the setting of massive blood loss [47]. The rapid consumption of clotting factors and platelets in massive hemorrhage can quickly exceed the normal surplus of coagu­lation factors [47]. Furthermore, critical levels of prothrom­bin, factor V, factor VII, and platelets are reached after a loss of greater than 200% of calculated blood volume, whereas life-threatening levels of brinogen are reached after a loss of only 140% [47].
Fibrinogen
Although factor repletion is an important component of preventing coagulopathy, brinogen deserves special con­sideration as a biomarker in the diagnosis of hemorrhage and as a potential therapeutic target for the management of hemorrhage. Fibrinogen is one of the main building blocks in coagulation, and a low brinogen level has been identi­ed as an early predictor of severe PPH [44, 48]. Charbit et al. assessed coagulation proles of 128 patients with atonic PPH (after administration of a second-line utero­tonic) for 24hours after onset of bleeding. Maternal brin­ogen level was independently associated with severe PPH; for every 1g/L decrease in brinogen, there was a 2.6-fold increased odds of severe PPH.A baseline brinogen level 2g/L taken at the time of bleeding onset had a positive

predictive value of 100% [42, 44, 49]. These results dem­onstrate that a low brinogen level during the early phase of postpartum bleeding can predict the later development of severe PPH [44].
Blood Product Availability
One of the earliest steps in patient blood management is to have blood products available when needed. Practices in routine laboratory testing of the obstetric patient vary by institution and can vary from no routine testing to a univer­sal type and screen. Although hemorrhage bundles encour­age use of preemptive type and screen for moderate-risk patients and type and cross-match for high-risk patients, less guidance is given as to what should be done in the low­risk population who still contribute to a signicant portion of patients with PPH [50]. The ASA Task Force on Obstetric Anesthesia practice guidelines state that the literature is insufcient to determine whether type and screen leads to fewer maternal anesthetic complications and whether type and cross-match is necessary for healthy and uncompli­cated parturients [51]. From a cost analysis perspective, universal type and screen for all patients is not cost-effec­tive and only marginally reduces the need to transfuse uncrossed blood [52]. Each institution must determine their own approach based on local guidelines, patient mix, and cost-effectiveness while maximizing the degree of clinical impact [44].
Massive Transfusion Protocol
When the maternal rate of bleeding is rapid, several units of blood products will not sufce to ensure avoidance of mater­nal morbidity and mortality. In the event of massive hemor­rhage, large volumes of blood products are needed expeditiously, and massive transfusion protocols (MTPs) were developed for this purpose. The criteria to meet mas­sive transfusion is discussed elsewhere.
As discussed, there is no consensus on the optimal RBC­to- plasma ratio in the management of obstetric hemorrhage. Popular ratios for transfusion include PRBC/FFP/platelet ratio of 6:4:1 or 4:4:1. While some societies such as ACOG recommend xed product ratios for obstetric hemorrhage MTPs, others such as the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG) recommend set volumes of plasma following RBC transfusion [43]. The CMQCC recommends that transfusion be based on vital signs and should not be delayed while awaiting laboratory results [43]. In the obstet­ric patient, many transfusion protocols include cryoprecipi­tate, in anticipation of a rapid decrease in brinogen during severe hemorrhage.
Implementation of a massive transfusion protocol has been shown to improve the timeline of blood transfusion and to be cost-effective due to a lower overall usage of blood products [ improves the line of communication for ordering and trans­porting blood products from the blood bank to the labor and delivery unit but also ensures that blood products continue to be available until surgical and hemostatic control of hemor­rhage has occurred [44].
units across the United States reported that 95% of labor and delivery units had an MTP protocol [44, 53]. However, most centers lacked a standardized initiation cut off which caused variability in use. Most institutions with an initiation standard used a cut-off of 1500mL with uncontrolled bleeding [53].

Multiple Antibodies andTransfusion ofIncompatible Blood
Specic patient populations including patients with sickle cell disease, thalassemia, and hemophilia have higher rates of blood antibodies [53]. These patients are still at risk for obstetric hemorrhage and may require transfusion. Usually, every effort is made to avoid the transfusion of incompatible blood, through efforts including prophylactic preparation of cross-matched blood products 48hours prior to induction of labor, use of cell salvage, and early intervention for obstetric hemorrhage such as uterine artery embolization and hyster­ectomy to obtain surgical control [53]. If the transfusion of incompatible units becomes necessary, the clinician should transfuse in ascending order of clinical hemolytic severity of the antibody of concern. The blood bank, hematology, and maternal fetal medicine should be involved if transfusion of known incompatible blood is to take place [53].
Transfusion Triggers forPRBC Transfusion inNon-MTP Circumstances
There is no optimal Hob/Hot goal that must be met during obstetric hemorrhage; however the common threshold of a Hob of 7g/ld. or a Hot of 21% is commonly cited [50, 54]. Although a Hot of 18–25% may be tolerated in an otherwise healthy parturient, most experts agree that PRBC transfu­sion is warranted with a Hot of less than 25% in the set­ting of active bleeding [47]. A higher Hot during ongoing hemorrhage both maintains tissue and organ perfusion and improves overall coagulation status [47]. Clinical markers including serum pH, lactate, base decit, and bicarbonate have been extensively studied as markers of resuscitation success in shock [53]. As a patient’s volume status may change rapidly during hemorrhage resuscitation, it is rec-
