Several inherited platelet disorders involve abnormalities
in platelet enzymes required for normal platelet function.
Some examples include deciencies in thromboxane A2 synthase, cytosolic phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-1, prostaglandin H synthetase 1, lipoxygenase, glycogen-6
synthetase, and enzymes involved in the metabolism of adenosine triphosphate [56, 57].
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of platelet disorders can be challenging. First, it is
important to determine whether the patient has a bleeding
disorder. Bleeding history is often highly subjective. For
example, patients with hereditary bleeding disorders may
have not experienced bleeding challenges, while patients
without bleeding disorders may exaggerate their symptoms
[82, 83]. Occasionally, it is difcult to discern profuse bleeding frombleeding in the upper normal range. Secondly, manifestation of bleeding disorders may be complicated by
patients’ pathophysiological conditions and medication use.
Patients without bleeding disorders are still predisposed to
bleeding in medical conditions such as cancer, alcohol use
disorder, liver disease, kidney disease, connective tissue disorders, and hypothyroidism. Medications including but not
limited to NSAID, aspirin, glucocorticoid, antibiotics, and
SSRI also increase the risk of bleeding. Thirdly, when
a bleeding disorder is suspected, it is crucial to determine
which component of blood clot formation has been impacted.
Platelet dysfunction needs to be differentiated from coagulopathy to insure efcacious treatment [84].
In the initial evaluation, physicians should obtain detailed
personal bleeding and family history. These include the reason for the visit, prior bleeding events, history of bruising or
iron deciency, outcome of bleeding challenges, bleeding
episodes severe enough for surgical intervention, and menstrual and pregnancy history in female patients [85]. Frequent
mucosal bleeding is a sign of bleeding disorder. Excessive
menstrual bleeding should raise suspicion because of the
high prevalence of bleeding disorders (10–30%) in this population of women [85–89]. Incontrast, if a patient did not
require transfusion during past hemorrhagic trauma, major
surgical procedures, or dental extraction, they are unlikely to
havea bleeding disorder. Many institutions employ a standardized bleeding assessment tool (BAT) to evaluate the
likelihood of bleeding disorders. BAT generates a bleeding
score based on answers to questions about the frequency and
severity of epistaxis, cutaneous bleeding, oral cavity bleeding, and GI bleeding. A higher score indicates higher risk of
bleeding disorder [90, 91].
If a bleeding disorder is suspected after initial history taking and targeted physical exam, a series of laboratory tests is
usually employed to determine whether the abnormality is
caused by platelet insufciency/dysfunction (primary hemo-
static defect) or by coagulopathy (secondary hemostatic
defect). Patients usually rst receive tests including platelet
count (normally 150−450×103/mL), morphology, activated
partial thromboplastin time (30–40seconds), and prothrombin time (9.5–13.5seconds). Abnormality in platelet count
and/or morphology can be reviewed from complete blood
count. Skin bleeding time test was previously employed to
assess platelet disorders; however, it is no longer commonly
used because the results are poorly reproducible. Platelet
function analyzer (PFA-100), as a replacement to bleeding
time, simulates primary hemostasis of blood vessels in
response to shear stress and is particularly sensitive to defects
in von Willebrand factor [84, 92]. Von Willebrand disease
(vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It
can be diagnosed with PFA-100 in conjunction with vWF
activity and vWF antigen levels. It should be noted that in a
rare type 2N vWD, factor VIII levels may be very low and
the PFA-100 is normal; in type 2B vWD, patients may have
varying degrees of thrombocytopenia.
Although PFA-100 is a useful tool to detect vWD, it has a
poor sensitivity to many other platelet dysfunctions. Instead,
platelet aggregation studies using light transmission
aggregometry (LTA) have been widelyimplemented used in
the diagnosis of platelet disorders [84]. Platelet aggregation is
triggered by theaddition of agonists (e.g., ADP, collagen, epinephrine, and thrombin), which causes the platelets to precipitate from solution. As a result, the turbidity of the solution
decreases and allows increased light transmission. Light
transmission is proportional to the extent of platelet aggregation induced by an agonist [93]. Application of specic agonists helps identify the underlying diseases. For example, in
Glanzmann thrombasthenia due to defect in GPIIb-IIIa complex, platelets will only agglutinate in response to ristocetin;
in Bernard-Soulier syndrome caused by adefect in GPIb-IX
complex, platelets will aggregate in response to thrombin,
collagen, epinephrine, and ADP, but not ristocetin.
Upon observation of abnormalities in the tests mentioned
above, further investigation, if available, can be conducted
with fresh blood samples. However, these tests can be expensive, time-consuming, andproduce results that are dependent on the age of the samples. One example is ow
cytometry with specic antibodies against important surface
receptors (e.g., GPIIb/IIIa, GPIb/IX/V, GPIa/ IIa, and
GPIIIb) and/or intra-platelet molecules that are crucial in
aggregation signaling pathways. Flow cytometry provides
both qualitative and quantitative analysis of platelet aggregation and thus helps to detect the specic defected molecules
resulting in aggregation dysfunction [94]. Another example
is transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which may be
used to uncover the ultrastructure of platelet granules (alpha
and delta granules) if apatient issuspected of having a platelet storage pool disease such as Chediak-Higashi syndrome
or Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome [95]. Otherwise, these
patients often present with normal platelet aggregometry and

PFA- 100 results. TEM also helps with diagnosis of the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9)-related disorders
(i.e., May-Hegglin anomaly, Fechtner syndrome, Epstein
syndrome, and Sebastian syndrome). Besides TEM, the content and secretion of platelet granules can also be evaluated
by ELISA and luminometry based on release products such
as platelet factor 4, PDGF, ATP/ADP, and serotonin [96].
Platelet adhesion and spreading disorders can be detected by
adhesion and spreading tests, respectively. Surfaces made of
different materials (e.g., collagen, brinogen, siliconized
glass, and subendothelial matrix) serve to evaluate platelet
adhesion function. Observation of platelet size and volume
with light microscopy provides information about platelet
spreading [84]. Finally, many platelet function disorders are
inherited diseases. Therefore, genetic testing has been gaining popularity in the diagnosis of known platelet function
disorders [97].
Management
There are several options to manage patients with platelet
dysfunction disorders who have bleeding. This can vary
from conservative management to drug therapy and platelet
transfusions. Appropriate treatment depends on several factors including the causative agent, type of platelet disorder,
severity of bleeding, and whether or not the patient is planned
for an invasive procedure. A careful review of the patient’s
medical history is tantamount toward treatment. In general,
the initial approach should involve identifying and removing
any extrinsic causes of the thrombocytopathy. This could be
the removal of certain medications or alteration in a patient’s
diet. In other cases, such as inherited or acquired platelet disorders, response to treatment can vary. In this section, we
will discuss management and treatment of bleeding complications in patients with platelet disorders.
Desmopressin
thrombocytopenia. Because of this variation, it can be useful
to give a trial dose. The side effect prole of this medication
can vary and includes headache, ushing, blood pressure
changes, hypersensitivity reaction (bronchospasm, fever,
rash), uid retention, and/or hyponatremia, which could
increase the risk of seizures [
53, 98].
Platelet Concentrates
Platelet concentrates concentrations are generally reserved
for patients who have a defect in the production or consumption of platelets. Platelet concentrates are also used for
patients who do not respond to desmopressin or those who
experience severe bleeding complications after surgery/
trauma.
Considering this, there are specic indications to
theuseof platelet concentrates. Platelet transfusions should
be given to patients who suffer from bleeding complications
secondary to Glanzmann thrombasthenia or Bernard–Soulier
syndrome [5, 53, 98]. These platelet disorders are generally
not responsive to desmopressin. A second indication is emergency therapy of bleeding for patients who have a defect in
megakaryopoiesis or have an increase in platelet turnover
secondary to DIC, liver disease, or immune thrombocytopenic purpura. A third indication is thrombocytopenia
postmassive blood transfusion. The nal indication for platelet transfusionis prophylaxis in patients determined to have
high bleeding risk preoperatively [53, 98].
One unit of platelets contains approximately 2–4×10
platelets and in a normal response increases the platelet
count by 20,000–30,000/μl in a 70kg adult. For newborns
and children, a10ml platelet concentrate/kg body weight is
recommended. In general, patients can be given platelets
prophylactically if their platelet count is below 5000/μl.
However, if a patient has a superimposed qualitative defect,
then platelet transfusion should be initiated at a platelet count
above 20,000/μl [53].
11
Desmopressin is an analog to vasopressin. This medication is
known to shorten bleeding time and decrease blood loss.
Desmopressin induces the release of vWF from vascular
endothelial cells which enhances platelet adhesion to the
vessel walls [5]. It can be administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or as a nasal spray (Octostim) [53, 98]. The recommended parenteral dose is 0.3 micrograms/kilograms of
body weight and the intranasal dose is 300 micrograms. It
has been shown that desmopressin can shorten bleeding
times in storage pool deciencies among other thrombocytopathies. However, desmopressin response can be limited
especially for patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia or
Bernard–Soulier syndrome [53, 98]. Furthermore, desmopressin does not shorten bleeding time in patients with
Recombinant Activated Factor VII (rFVIIa)
Recombinant activated Factor VII is used for bleeding that
cannot be treated by conventional means. It has been reported
to be effective in patients with Glanzmann thrombasthenia
and Bernard-Soulier syndrome for treatment ofbleeding and
in surgical intervention. Poon etal. determined that giving
prophylactic rFVIIa was effective in 29 out of 31 patients
with Glanzmann thrombasthenia [53]. rFVIIa is a viable alternative for patients who previouslydeveloped antibodies to platelet transfusions. In Europe, rFVIIa has been
approved for patients with antibodies against GPIIb/IIIa and/
or HLA and for those patients who do not respond to platelet
transfusion [53].

G. M. Jeha et al.
Dosing includes a minimum of 3 bolus injections of
80–120μg/kg body weight every 1.5–3hours until hemostasisis achieved. This regiment has been shown to treat bleeding
complications in patients with storage pool diseases, BernardSoulier syndrome, and several acquired platelet disorders. A
single bolus of 270g/kg has also been shown to be effective.
Prior studies indicate that rFVIIa can be effective even when
platelet counts are below <20,000/μl. However, it is more
effective with higher platelet counts. Frequent administration
of rFVIIa is recommended in patients who are less than
12hours from theonset of acute bleeding episode [5, 53].
Antibrinolytics
Antibrinolytics such as aminocaproic acid and tranexamic
acid are used to prevent further degradation of blood clots
and therefore prevent rebleeding [98]. They are generally
used to treat mucocutaneous bleeds, menorrhagia, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Antibrinolytics combined with cryoprecipitate is the preferred treatment of von Willebrand
disease. It can be given orally with a regiment of 2–3 times
per day at a total of 1000–1500 mg daily. It can also be
given intravenously or be made into a solution and placed
on the mouth or nose. A known disadvantage to this medication is that it must be given frequently as bioavailability can
be as low as 30% [98].
Hormonal Therapy
Birth control pills can be an option to control bleeding especially in women with signicant menstrual bleeding. Another
option is an intrauterine device that releases progesterone.
This has been effective in women with bleeding disorders
who have heavy menstrual bleeding.
Treatment ofNosebleeds
Nose bleeds can be treated by local measures. One method
is to have the patient sit with their head tilted forward
while pinching the soft part of their nose for 10minutes
untilthe bleeding stops. Individuals can apply petroleum
jelly or propylene glycol to prevent drying of mucous
membranes. Fibrin sealants containing brinogen, thrombin, factor XIII, and aprotinin can be used if bleeding is
prolonged [98].
Bleeding Associated withMenstruation
andChildbirth
Patients with heavy menstruation can use desmopressin,
rFVIIa, and antibrinolytics. These products are effective
when used at the beginning and during each menstrual
period. IUDs or birth control are used for long-term
management [98].
For women who are pregnant are recommended to discuss
a delivery plan with their physician. Approaches to bleeding
can vary and depend on the specic platelet disorder, the person’s experience with past bleeding, and whether delivery
will be caesarian or vaginal. It is important to note that bleeding risk is elevated right after delivery and several weeks
postpartum.
Dental Extraction
Individuals with platelet disorders undergoing dental extraction should be administrated desmopressin as part of their
management. It should also be given to the patient prior to
receiving a mandibular block which presents a bleeding risk.
It is recommended that platelet function be corrected by desmopressin or another alternative before using performing
amandibular block. Antibrinolytic therapy has been shown
to reduce bleeding complications following tooth extraction
and surgery. Timing is important when using these medications and should be initiated prior to surgery and continued
for several days. Lastly, brin glue can be applied to the surgical siteintraoperatively [98].
Medications toAvoid
Certain medications can cause platelet dysfunction and
should be avoided if possible. Aspirin is commonly used as
an antiplatelet medication. It irreversibly inhibits platelet
cyclooxygenase impairing thromboxane A2. A dose of
200mg is known to double bleeding time and can produce
effects for as long as 4–10 days. Other NSAIDS such as
phenylbutazone, indomethacin, fenoprofen, and ibuprofen
have also been implicated [5].
Warfarin or heparin is commonly used and may worsen
bleeding in these patients. Heparin in particular can cause
heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Antibiotics thathave also
been implicated in disruption of hemostasisinclude carbenicillin, ticarcillin, penicillin G, ampicillin, and cephalosporin.
Nutraceuticals andFoods toAvoid
Patients with thrombocytopathies should avoid certain foods,
additives, and herbal products. These include alcohol,
Chinese black tree fungus, ajoene (acomponent of garlic),
feverfew, saw palmetto, and various plantbarks.
There are several options for management of complicated
bleeding in individuals who have platelet function disorders.

The approach depends on the offending agent (i.e., food,
medications, etc.), the specic platelet disorder, severity of
bleeding, andwhether or not the patient is scheduled for an
invasive procedure. Based on these factors, treatments can be
conservative or may require medications and/or platelet
transfusions. It is important to know the indications as well
as the side effects of these treatment options, especially of
agents such asdesmopressin. Most patients with a platelet
dysfunction disorder will not require regulartreatment but
may need medical management when determined to be at
risk for bleeding complications.
Intraoperative Considerations
Type ofSurgery andProphylactic Treatments
Intraoperative bleeding disturbances can occur secondary
to direct surgical manipulation of anatomy or due to hemostatic abnormalities [99]. Hemostatic abnormalities can be
present at baseline or arise as a consequence of physiologic
and pharmacologic changes associated with the perioperative period [99]. Baseline hematologic abnormalities, such
as inherited platelet function disorders, present signicantly higher intraoperative bleeding risk than inherited
platelet number disorders [100]. There does not appear to
be a linear relationship between platelet count and risk of
spontaneous surgical bleeding, making this serious complication difcult to predict [101]. The Surgery in Platelet
Disorders and Therapeutic Approach (SPATA) study
showed that type of disorder impacts surgical bleeding risk,
with biallelic Bernard-Soulier syndrome being associated
with the highest occurrence of perioperative bleeding [100].
Bleeding history and sex are also determining factors of
surgical bleeding risk, with female sex being associated
with higher bleeding frequency [100]. Cardiovascular and
urological surgery is associated with the highest incidence
of intraoperative bleeding [100]. Use of laparoscopic versus open approaches and prophylactic establishment of
access with two large-bore intravenous catheters have been
shown to decrease frequency of hemostatic complications
even in high-risk surgeries. Interestingly, the SPATA study
demonstrated that the use of pro-hemostatic treatments as
pre-operative prophylaxis decreases bleeding frequency in
patients with inherited platelet function disorders but not
inherited platelet number disorders [100]. Considering the
substantial perioperative bleeding risk associated with
inherited platelet disorders alone, prophylactic pre-operative pro-hemostatic treatments appear to be vital to decreasing bleeding incidence [100].
Traditionally, platelet transfusions have been used at
the highest frequency in patients with established high
bleeding risk [100]. While prophylactic platelet transfusions have been shown to decrease rates of clinically signicant bleeding, they have not improved patient
outcomes, decreased perioperative RBC requirements, or
demonstrated overall mortality benet [101]. Over time,
platelet transfusions have been shown to be associated
with signicant negative outcomes such as higher rates of
postoperative ICU admission and longer hospital stays
[101]. In patients who experience acute spontaneous primary intracerebral hemorrhage while on antiplatelet therapy, platelet transfusions were associated with enlargement
of hemorrhage and increased rates of infection [101].
Platelets have the highest risk of bacterial sepsis of any
blood product [101]. Platelet transfusion has also been
associated with transfusion-associated acute lung injury,
immunomodulation, post-transfusion purpura, and alloimmunization [101]. These observations have paved the
way for alternative prophylactic and reactive therapies
such as desmopressin, antibrinolytic agents (epsilon
aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid), procoagulant
bypass agents (recombinant factor VIIIa and activated
prothrombin complex concentrates), and thrombopoietin
receptor agonists (romiplostim, eltrombopag, avatrombopag, and lusutrombopag), whose mechanisms have
been described above [101]. Of note, thrombopoietin
receptor agonists are currently used off-label except in
patients with thrombocytopenia secondary to chronic liver
disease [101].
Anesthesia andAnticoagulation
It has been demonstrated that anesthetic agents have the
capacity to inuence hemostasis [99]. In vitro, ketamine
dose dependently inhibits platelet aggregation via action on
platelet inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate formation, guanosine
5-triphosphatase activity, and calcium currents [99].
Inhibition by ketamine is most notable at doses that exceed
concentrations used in clinical settings. This mechanism is
important given that the specic effects of anesthetics on
platelet function are poorly understood [99]. Anesthetic
effects on platelets are difcult to evaluate because measurement of platelet function proves challenging [99]. At present,
techniques such as bleeding time, platelet aggregometry, and
thromboelastography can be used for measurement of platelet function, but there is no gold standard for accuracy and
ease of use [99]. To this extent, platelet aggregometry has
shown that not only ketamine but the majority of anesthetic
agents including halothane and sevourane inhibit platelet
function [99]. Propofol has been consistently associated with
signicant platelet inhibition [99]. Unfortunately, there are
no data indicating that any one general anesthetic regimen is

64

best for reducing perioperative bleeding [99]. So far, basic
science reports have brought to the attention of clinicians the
potential of hemostatic complications secondary to different
anesthetics. Further investigation is needed to determine true
clinical impact and the inuences of genetic factors and perioperative conditions.
Temperature Regulation andtheCoagulopathy
ofHypothermia
Intraoperative hypothermia can be caused by a combination of multiple factors occurring simultaneously [102].
Upon entering the operating room, low ambient temperatures begin to externally cool the patient [102]. Following
induction of anesthesia, the threshold at which the body
perceives hypothermia drops from 37.5° to 34.5° [102].
Consequently, the body inappropriately initiates vasodilation, decreasing core temperature, and redistributing heat
to the extremities [102]. As heat is continually lost due to
the cold ambient temperature of the operating room, surface area of exposure during surgery is directly related to
the amount of heat loss through convective and radiative
pathways [103]. Heat loss further contributes to the
depression of overall body temperature [103]. At approximately 34.5°C, the brain reinitiates thermoregulative control andinduces vasoconstriction to protect against further
core heat loss; however, this vasoconstriction occurs at
the expense of the extremities, which continue to see
decreasing temperatures [103]. Hypothermia can have a
catastrophic effect on the coagulation cascade due to
reexive release of thromboxane A3 [104, 105]. This
reversible impairment of platelet plug formation combined with the reduced coagulation cascade enzyme activity seen in hypothermic patients increases bleeding risk
[104, 105]. A lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and
coagulopathy is seen in patients with traumatic injuries—
in these cases the ineffectiveness of brinogen is explained
through both hypothermia and acidosis mechanisms.
Hypothermia prevents brinogen synthesis through a
decrease in metabolic rate and acidosis causes an increase
in degradation due to a pH that is incompatible with
enzyme activity, together depleting the amount of brinogen available and causing coagulopathy [104, 105]. One
meta-analysis showed that these mechanisms combine in
hypothermic patients to cause a 20% increase in perioperative blood loss [106]. To combat hypothermia, upper
and lower body forced-air warming devices for exposed
skin and uid warming devices for refrigerated blood
product infusions should be liberally used to maintain
normothermic temperatures that encourage adequate clotting capacity [105].
Postoperative Blood Loss andTransfusion
Requirements
In the case of perioperative or postoperative blood loss,
transfusion algorithms have been proposed to combat
depressed clotting factors and hypovolemic shock without
over-transfusing patients [105]. Intraoperatively, the most
current transfusion protocol recommendations include sending the following labs every 30minutes: PT/PTT, brinogen,
CBC, ABG, and ROTEM [105]. Recommendations also
include correction of a hemoglobin less than 7g/dL, a platelet count less than 50,000, a brinogen level less than
200mg/dL with a double dose given if the brinogen dips
under 150mg/dL, and a PT/INR greater than 150% of baseline [105]. If more than four units of packed RBCs are
required to restore the hemoglobin concentration, it is recommended to follow a balanced resuscitation protocol that
provides balanced units of blood cells and plasma with added
platelets and cryoprecipitate. This transfusion protocol is
usedfor non-traumatic patients and should not replace the
accepted 1:1:1, pRBC:FFP:platelets protocol used in traumatic settings. These protocols offer more precise, guided
treatments for non-traumatic settings of coagulopathic blood
loss with the goal of replenishing the patient in a more balanced, physiologic manner that includes transfusion ofplatelets and brinogen more liberally than in otheralgorithms.
The type of procedure must also be consideredin choosing a transfusion protocol; certain procedures inherently provide more coagulopathic risk [107]. When platelet count and
function were examined in patients undergoing coronary cardiac surgery, platelet count and function were both found
todecrease during cardiopulmonary bypass, which increased
overall postoperative bleeding and transfusion requirements
[107]. Due to the complexity of cardiac patients, an individualized algorithm has been established that varies slightly
from the above recommendations; the main differenceshere
include more aggressive brinogen correction that is recommended to occur before addressing other abnormalities
[105].
Summary & Conclusion
Alteration in platelet number and function affects the body’s
clotting abilities. Platelet disorders can be inherited or
acquired defects, which manifest as quantitative or qualitative abnormalities. Increased platelets (thrombocytosis and
thrombocythemia) will increase the chances of a clot forming while decreased platelets (thrombocytopenia) will impair
initial plateletplug formation. Altered platelet function with
respect to adhesion, receptor function, secretion, enzyme
activity, or signaling pathways can also contribution to dys-

functional formation of the platelet plug. Without adequate
formation of the platelet plug individuals tend to experience
increased bleeding, purpura, epistaxis, and mucocutaneous
bleeding. It is important to differentiate these signs from
those of the coagulopathies so that a platelet disorder can be
identied and adequatehemostasiscan be promoted.
Evaluation for a platelet disorder typically starts with the
history and physical exam. A bleeding assessment tool (BAT)
may also be included to screen for a bleeding disorder. If a
bleeding disorder is suspected, then more formal testing can
be done. Initial workup typically involves a complete blood
count and light microscopy to assess platelet count and morphology. Coagulation studies are also orderedto evaluate for
a coagulopathy. Bleeding time has been replaced by aplatelet function analyzer to assess primary hemostasis. Other
platelet disorders are typically tested for with light transmission aggregometry, which can detect platelet aggregation
when different agonists are added, allowing the evaluator to
narrow down the defect. Different surfaces can be used to
evaluate platelet adhesion to various molecules in the body.
Flow cytometry allows the detection of specic receptor
defects once a differential of possible disorders has been
established. Transmission electron microscopy, ELISA, and
luminometry can all be used to assess platelet granules and
secretion function. Finally, genetic testing can be pursuedwhen an inherited disorder is suspected. Determining
whether or nota platelet disorder is present and achieving the
diagnosis frequently requires a combination of any of these
tests. The approach to making the diagnosis is highly dependent on the given situation and the individual history of any
given patient.
Once a platelet disorder has been discovered, management involves removing any identiablecauses, if applicable, and initiating treatment tailored to the givenetiology.
NSAIDs, heparin, antibiotics, alcohol, and several foods and
herbs can all be culprits that contribute to the manifestation
of platelet disorders. Administration of desmopressin can
cause vasoconstriction to limit blood loss and release stores
of vWF in a decient patient. It is also used for bleeding
associated with menses, childbirth, and dental extraction.
Desmopressin is not helpful in situations where the receptors
are defective or inpatients with thrombocytopenia. In these
cases, platelet transfusion may be considered. Transfusion is
also used in cases of massive loss of platelets, such as
thatseen in consumptive disorders, or occasionally inthose
determined to beat a high risk of perioperative bleeding. In
cases where this is ineffective, or in cases wherethe patient
has been sensitized due to previoustransfusions, recombinant activated Factor VII has been shown to be effective.
Antibrinolytics have shown to be efcacious in mucocutaneous bleeds and vWD, but the main limiting factor for their
useis the requiredfrequency of dosing. Choice of treatment
is largely based on clinical judgment stemming from factors
identied during workup.
Platelet disorders are important to consider in the operative setting. Platelet disorders increase the risk of intraoperative bleeding, with qualitative disorders presenting more
risk than quantitative disorders. Preoperative prophylaxis
with desmopressin, antibrinolytics, procoagulant bypassing agents, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists can be
used to reduce the risk of bleeding. Prophylactic platelet
transfusions have fallen out of favor due toa high number of
associated risks and limited benet. The low transient temperature of the operating room combined with lowered thermoregulative control secondary to anesthesia can lead to
perioperative hypothermia. Perioperative hypothermia
affects the function of various coagulation enzymes and factors, which can lead to coagulopathy. These effects can be
mitigated by using warming devices and warmed uids as
needed during the operation. Perioperative labs should be
drawn every 30minutes to monitor bleeding risk. Platelets
can be given if concentrations fall below 50,000/μL or to
maintain balanced physiology during larger blood transfusions. The type of surgery, thepatient’s history, and the situation surrounding the operation must all be considered by
the clinical anesthesiologist and othermembers of the team
when determining appropriate treatment for patients at risk
of bleeding.

Massive Transfusion Protocol

Introduction
Massive transfusion in an adult has commonly been dened
as 10 or more units of packed red blood cells (RBCs) in a
24-hour period, which almost replaces one blood volume
based on the total blood volume of a 70-kg male [1]. Massive
transfusion can also be dened if one of the following conditions is satised: blood loss exceeding circulating blood volume within a 24-hour period; blood loss of 50% of circulating
blood volume within a 3-hour period; blood loss exceeding
150ml/min; blood loss that necessitates plasma and platelets
(PLTs) transfusion [2]. Hemorrhage is the main cause of
death in major trauma patients surviving to the hospital
admission [3]. In this review, we will discuss the indication
of massive transfusion, components and strategies of a massive transfusion protocol (MTP), MTP for specic patient
groups, and monitoring performance and outcomes.
Indication ofMassive Transfusion
Perioperative massive hemorrhage can be caused by various
etiologies, as illustrated in Table8.1.

Trauma
Major Trauma is one of the leading causes of perioperative
massive hemorrhage and hemorrhage is the main cause of
death following major trauma in patients surviving to hospital admission with the highest incidence in 1–3hours after
admission [3]. Etiology of major trauma includes motor
vehicle accidents, bullet injuries, blunt trauma injuries, fall
from certain heights, glass injuries, blast injuries, etc. These
traumatic injuries are potentially associated with major vascular laceration(s) or organ rupture, leading to extensive
blood loss. Most of the patients die on their way to the hospital because of massive hemorrhage. Therefore, hemorrhage with hemorrhagic shock is still the leading cause of
death in all major traumatic injuries worldwide [3].
Surgical Procedures
Liver Transplantation
In 1963, Starzl and colleagues performed the rst liver transplantation procedure in human being. The rst ve patients
all died of bleeding complications [4]. Liver transplantation
