Because of the presence of serum antibodies, compatibility is reversed for non- red cell blood
products so AB becomes the universal donor and O the universal recipient. Rh(D) status is un­aected:Rh(D) −ve recipients should receive Rh(D) −ve blood products if possible.

424 CHAPTER5 Haematology
Consent for blood product transfusion
If a transfusion is required, patients and/or their carers should be given verbal
and written information explaining:
• The reason for the transfusion
• The risks and benets
• The transfusion process
• Any transfusion needs specic to them
• Any alternatives that are available
• That they cannot donate blood after receiving a transfusion.
The discussion should be thoroughly documented in the notes. If a patient is unable to consent, check for a valid advanced directive. Competent pa­tient refusal or a refusal on a valid advanced directive are contraindications to transfusion.
In emergency situations where it is not possible to have this discussion with
a patient or their carers, the information should be given retrospectively.
Following a blood transfusion
It takes 76– 2h after a transfusion for the concentration of the RBCs to settle; FBC taken before this is likely to give an inaccurate value.
Discharge Include details of transfusions and any adverse events on the dis-
charge letter.
The Jehovah’s Witness and blood products
Most patients welcome open discussion about sensitive issues that could aect their care and Jehovah’s Witnesses are no dierent. The individual wishes of the patient must always be respected. Timely discussion about acceptable practice and the possible utility of alternative treatments allows healthcare professionals to plan and provide better patient care. In general:
Acceptable treatments These include non- blood volume expanders (saline,
Hartmann’s, glucose, gelatins (Gelofusine
®
), starches (Voluven®), dextrans), agents which control haemorrhage (recombinant factor VIIa (NovoSeven tranexamic acid), and agents which stimulate red cell production (recom­binant erythropoietin; check preparation is free from human albumin), IViron.
Unacceptable treatmentsThese are treatments which involve the transfu-
sion of donor whole blood, packed red cells, white cells, FFP, and plate­lets. Preoperative autologous (self- donated) blood can sometimes be considered acceptable.
Treatments which individuals may consider These include blood salvage
(intraoperative and postoperative), haemodilution, haemodialysis, and car­diac bypass (pumps must be primed with non- blood uids). Some fractions of plasma or cellular components may be considered acceptable by some individuals (cryoprecipitate, albumin, immunoglobulins, clotting factors, and haemoglobin- based O liver) as well as bone and tissue may also be accepted.

carriers). Transplants including solid organ (heart,

3Transfusion reactions
$ In the UK, blood products (except white cell products) are leucocyte
depleted to reduce the risk of transfusion reaction.
• These are potentially fatal, so must be managed urgently (Table 5.9)
• ABO incompatibility and bacterial contamination may be seen within
minutes of starting the transfusion
• Low- grade pyrexia is common during a transfusion, though a rapid rise
in temp at the start is worrying.
Investigations blds FBC, U+E, bilirubin, LDH, blood lm, direct anti-
globulin test, clotting, repeat G+S and crossmatch (check blood group), antibody screen, blood cultures, mast cell tryptase (if anaphylaxis sus­pected); Urine Free haemoglobin; CXR If signs of heart failure; Retain blood bag Re- check identiers and return bags to laboratory.

Clotting disorders
(E pp. 478–9 Hypotension emergencies; E p. 482 Hypovolaemicshock; E p. 595 Causes of deranged clotting prole.)
Bleeding disorders(E OHCM1p. 340.)
Haemophilia A $ Factor VIII deciency; X- linked recessive, but 30% of
cases have no FH due to new mutation. Presentation Bleeding in child-
hood, usually haemarthrosis; Investigations iAPTT (corrects with the addition of normal plasma) and dfactor VIII; Treatment Avoid NSAIDs and IM injections. Seek senior help early, and call the haematologist if patient is bleeding. Factor VIII is replaced using recombinant or plasma products.
Haemophilia B (Christmas disease) $ Factor IX deciency; X- linked reces-
sive. Clinically treat in the same fashion as haemophiliaA.
von Willebrand disease $ Mild but common (/ 000) autosomal domin-
antly inherited coagulopathy associated with deciency of von Willebrand factor (vWF). Presentation Mucocutaneous bleeding and menorrhagia;
Investigations iAPTT; PT and platelets normal; specialist specic assays; Treatment Not usually required unless problematic bleeding. Tranexamic
acid, desmopressin, and vWF clotting factor concentrates have a role.
3Disseminated intravascular coagulation
$ Pathological activation of the clotting cascade results in formation of
microvascular thrombi and multiorgan failure. Consumption of brinogen, platelets, and clotting factors results in haemorrhagic complications.
SignsBleeding + petechiae with signs of underlying precipitant (Box 5.8). Investigations blds dplatelets, iPT/ INR, iAPTT, dbrinogen, ii D- dimer. General treatment Request urgent senior help (most likely ITU) and discuss
with haematologist. Treat underlying cause (most commonly sepsis), sup­portive measures for BP, acidosis, hypoxaemia, and maintain normothermia. Blood transfusion for anaemia (may exacerbate coagulopathy).
Correction of coagulopathy With FFP, platelets, cryoprecipitate (rich in
brinogen), or factor concentrates as advised by the haematologist. Further pharmaceutical management is controversial; see local policy.
ComplicationsMassive haemorrhage, end- organ failure, death (DIC is an
independent predictor of mortality in trauma or sepsis).
2Box 5.8 Common precipitantsofDIC
• Septicaemia (Gram– ve > Gram+ve)
• Disseminated malignancy
• Incompatible blood transfusion reactions
• Obstetric emergencies
• Liver failure
• Severe trauma/ burns.
Thrombocytopenia
$ Often an incidental nding, but patients may present with bleeding (gums, epistaxis) or easy bruising. Spontaneous bleeding tends not to occur until
platelet counts <20 × 0
Causes dproduction (eg aplastic anaemia, leukaemia), iconsumption

/ L.
(eg immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), haemolytic– uraemic syndrome), and drug- induced (eg amiodarone, carbamazepine).
Treatment Primarily identication and reversal of cause, with guidance by
a haematologist. Avoid IM injections. Platelet transfusion is indicated in some situations E p. 422.
2Consider heparin- induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) if occurs 4– 4d
after commencing heparin (Box 5.9).
K Box 5.9 Heparin- induced thrombocytopenia(HIT)
The development of procoagulant antibodies in those receiving heparin (unfractionated > LMWH) may lead to thrombocytopenia with throm­bosis. Risk factors include recent heparin exposure (within 00 days) and recent orthopaedic or cardiovascular surgery. Perform a baseline FBC and consider HIT in those with dplt >30% and/ or new thrombosis within 4– 4d of starting heparin. Diagnosis is conrmed by heparin­dependent platelet-activating antibodies to platelet factor 4. Discuss any suspected cases with haematology.
Patients must be anticoagulated with a non-heparin agent (eg argatroban or DOAC); platelet transfusion is contraindicated.

Anticoagulation
$ Anticoagulants are used to prevent thrombotic events in those at risk of thrombosis or to prevent clot propagation after a thrombotic event has occurred. DOACs are often recommended over warfarin when possible. Generally parenteral routes (eg heparin) are preferred in the acute setting, with oral dosing used for longer- term therapy.

K Box 5.0 Unfractionated heparin
This has a rapid onset of action, a short half- life (0.5– 2.5h, but longer in hypothermia), and is reversible with protamine (mg protamine over 0min IV neutralizes 700units unfractionated heparin within 5min). This makes it the best, if cumbersome, option for situations where ef­fective but rapidly reversible anticoagulation is desired (eg patients with metallic valves awaiting surgery or at risk of bleeding). Administration is by bolus followed by a continuous infusion set at a rate determined according to 6h measurements of the APTT— check your local policy.
2
Exceptions to this include those with active cancer and a DVT or PE, in whom longer- ter m
therapy with LMWH is more eective than warfarin.
Venous thromboprophylaxis (VTE prophylaxis)
$ Each patient will have a documented VTE assessment in their notes which should be completed on admission to hospital. Risk factors are highlighted here and this guides prophylactic treatment according to local policy.
In medical patients Consider if mobility signicantly reduced for ≥3d, or
ongoing reduced mobility and one or more risk factors of:age >60yr,
3,4
active cancer, dehydration, obese, PMH or FH of DVT/ PE, known thrombophilia, on COCP/ HRT, signicant active medical comorbidity.
In surgical/ trauma patientsConsider if one or more of above- mentioned
risk factors, or if one or more of:signicantly reduced mobility, total an­aesthetic time >90min, pelvic/ lower limb surgery lasting >60min, signi­cantly reduced mobility, acute inammatory or intra- abdominal condition.
Bleeding risk Balance benets of thromboprophylaxis against bleeding
risk, including any active bleeding, falls risk, acquired or inherited bleeding disorders, concurrent use of anticoagulants (eg warfarin), LP/ epidural/ spinal anaesthesia within the previous 4h or within the next 2h, acute stroke, thrombocytopenia, uncontrolled hypertension (≥230/ 20mmHg).
Treatment In addition to good hydration and early mobilization, where
benets outweigh bleeding risk, oer pharmacological therapy. In most in­stances this will be with LMWH (eg enoxaparin 40mg/ 24h SC or 20mg/ 24h if eGFR <30mL/ min). Alternatives include fondaparinux (accelerates breakdown of activated factor Xa), rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or apixaban (direct activated Xa inhibitors), and dabigatran (thrombin inhibitor)— see Table 5.0. Compression stockings oer less eective prophylaxis but are used for those in whom pharmacological therapy is contraindicated (avoid in those with vascular disease or stroke).
Direct factor Xa inhibitor Apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban
Direct thrombin inhibitor Dabigatran, argatroban (IV)
429ANTICOAGULATION
Direct acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
DOACs are increasingly used for VTE prophylaxis following orthopaedic sur­gery and have largely superseded warfarin for the treatment of VTE and non-valvular AF. Warfarin must still be used for patients with antiphospholipid syndrome or metallic heart valves, and may be more suitable for patients with severe renal impairment or a high risk of GI bleeding. They unreliably aect PT/ APTT. The direct factor Xa inhibitors can be monitored using anti-factor Xa levels (only in certain situations—discuss with haematologist). See Box 5..
K Box 5. Monitoring anti-factor Xa levels
The plasma anti-Xa assay can be used to monitor patients receiving LMWH and the direct factor Xa inhibitors (apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban). Routine monitoring is not required, but a haematologist may request monitoring for patients with marked obesity, pregnancy, or se­vere renal impairment. Therapeutic targets vary—discuss with the lab.

430 CHAPTER5 Haematology
Warfarin
$ Antagonizes the vitamin K- dependent synthesis of factors II, VII, IX, and X.Warfarin slows clot formation, as measured by theINR.
CounsellingAdvise the patient of the risks and benets of therapy and dis-
cuss the need for compliance with INR monitoring. Discuss large number of drug interactions and the need to inform doctors of warfarin therapy before starting any new medication (Ep. 72).
LoadingInitiate according to local guidelines. LMWH is usually continued
until INR is within the therapeutic range.
Target INRThis will generally be in the range 2– 3. In those with prosthetic
heart valves, or previous thromboembolism while on warfarin, higher targets (range 3– 4) may be required, despite increased bleedingrisk.
Treatment durationTreatment is lifelong for most indications (or until risks
>benets). In DVT/ PE, treatment should be reviewed at 3mth, and early cessation considered where a clear, temporary provocative factor can be identied.
Stopping warfarin Stopping for a procedure may require no additional
cover (low- risk indications eg AF) or cover with heparin (LMWH or unfractionated according to local policy). 2Never stop anticoagulation in patients with cardiac stents or metallic valves without consultation with cardiologists. Metallic mitral valves carry a much higher risk of thrombus formation than valves in the higher pressure aortic position.
Discharging patients Discharging requires suitable anticoagulation service
follow- up to be in place, with current dosing documented (eg UK ‘yellow book’).
For management of raised INR when on warfarin, see Box 5.2.
