A comparison of low vs conventional‐dose heparin for minimal cardiopulmonary bypass in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery

Abstract: SummaryThe biocompatibility of minimal extracorporeal circuits has improved; however, anticoagulation is still required. We compared standard high-dose anticoagulation with a low-dose heparin regimen in a retrospective study of patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery using minimal cardiopulmonary bypass. One hundred patients who received 300 IU.kg . There were no thromboembolic events in either group; however, patients in the low-dose group had lower 24-hour mean (SD) postoperative blood loss than the c… Show more

“…We found the initial dose of heparin calculated using our formula to be lower than that calculated using the conventional formula, which considers only BW. The rate of target ACT achievement using our formula was 86.4%, which was comparable to Shuhaibar's report of an 82.4% achievement rate using the conventional dose of 300 IU/kg heparin [5]. Our results suggest the possibility that the conventional dose of heparin may be excessive and our formula is useful with respect to target ACT achievement.…”

“…In fact, the ACT value after the administration of initial dose of heparin (300 IU/kg) was sometimes beyond our expectation. Heparin overdose has been reported to be associated with significantly increased postoperative blood loss [4] and/or a longer intensive care unit stay [5] [6]. When an overdose of heparin is administered, the ACT value is likely to increase again after surgery [7]- [9].…”

“…In another study in which heparin doses were administered at 300 IU/kg and 145 IU/kg without calculating the body weight, a lower rate of blood transfusions was required and less postoperative drainage volumes were found in the low-dose heparin group. [11] Although the positive results of heparin reduction were demonstrated in these studies, it is not true that the individual doses of the patients should be administered without taking the standard dose. In a study examining heparin pharmacokinetics during CPB, it was shown that there were wide individual differences in plasma heparin levels, and peripheral compartment distribution contributed to these differences and was responsible for heparin rebound.…”

“…Studies have screened for genes associated with the levels of chemokines and cytokine following OPCAB surgery, but little attention has been paid to the corresponding miRNA transcripts ( 8 ). In addition, the molecular mechanisms of complications, including hemostasis and coagulation disorders, caused by OPCAB grafting are unclear ( 14 ).…”
