A European consensus statement on the use of four‐factor prothrombin complex concentrate for cardiac and non‐cardiac surgical patients

Abstract: Summary Modern four‐factor prothrombin complex concentrate was designed originally for rapid targeted replacement of the coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X. Dosing strategies for the approved indication of vitamin K antagonist‐related bleeding vary greatly. They include INR and bodyweight‐related protocols as well as fixed dose regimens. Particularly in the massively bleeding trauma and cardiac surgery patient, four‐factor prothrombin complex concentrate is used increasingly for haemostatic resuscitation. M… Show more

“…Furthermore, in emergency situations the administration of specific reversal agents can be delayed if the type and plasma level of DOAC present in a patient’s blood needs to be rapidly identified with specific tests [ 58 , 59 ]. Non-specific strategies for the treatment of DOAC-associated bleeding, such as administration of PCC, are now widely recognised and recommended by different organisations for situations when specific agents are not readily available [ 12 , 14 , 41 , 42 , 47 , 48 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 54 , 60 ]. The guideline recommendations are summarised in Table 1 .…”

“…Prothrombin Complex Concentrate PCC contains the vitamin K-dependent factors II, VII, IX, and X (4-factor PCC) or II, IX, and X (3-factor PCC). Following the initial approval for hemophilia B, the vial is standardized on factor IX; the content of the other coagulation factors can vary significantly among the different preparations [75]. The concentration of clotting factors is approximately 25-fold that of plasma [15,29].…”

“…As the clotting times of VET are not sensitive to reduced anticoagulant levels (e.g., antithrombin), their use as a surrogate remains debatable [80]. For coagulopathic, severe bleeding, an initial bolus of 25 IU/kg BW appears to be effective and for those patients with an increased risk for thromboembolism an initial half-dose bolus of 12.5 IU/kg BW followed by a second dose if microvascular bleeding persists [75]. In an evidence-based algorithm for ROTEM-guided bleeding management, PCC substitution is indicated with an EXTEM CT >80 s and FIBTEM A5 ≥9 mm (trauma) or ≥12 mm (PPH) [48].…”

“…For the patient taking warfarin, prothrombin complex concentrate is recommended in accordance with recently published guidelines. 3,4 For patients taking dabigatran, it is recommended that idarucrizumab is given. For patients taking apixaban, rivaroxaban, betrixaban or edoxaban, andexanet alpha is recommended, albeit off-label for those taking betrixaban and edoxaban.…”
