  7. Global Objectives • Maximize patient outcome • Utilize health care resources well • Optimize evidence-based medicine • Enhance ED practice

  8. Sessions Objectives • Learn about hemophilia and RBDs • What are the diseases? • How do patients present? • What are management principles? • What specific therapies? • How to enhance pt outcomes?

  9. Case Presentation 17 year old presents to ED Known hemophilia A Fell off of bicycle Abdominal trauma Hypotensive, tachycardic Abdominal tenderness What do you do?

  10. ED Bleeding Disorder Patients: Key Concepts Identify the bleeding disorder Establish if bleeding is present Treat the bleeding Treat the bleeding disorder Establish endpoint for Rx success Disposition based on Dx, Rx, risk

  11. Background Rare disorder: Affects fewer than 200,000 Americans (NIH office of Rare Diseases) Hemophilia Other bleeding disorders Rare Bleeding Disorders

  12. Disease States

  13. Hemophilia Hemophilia A Congenital deficiency of factor VIII (FVIII) Hemophilia B: Christmas Disease Congenital deficiency of factor IX (FIX)

  14. Hemophilia Insufficient generation of thrombin by FVIIIa and FIXa complex through the intrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade

  15. Coagulation Cascade

  16. Fibrin Clot Structure Hemophilia A Normal Clot Structure

  17. Hemophilia Severity Based on procoagulant levels or bleeding severity Severe: <1% clotting factor present Moderately severe: 1-5% Mild: 5-40% Clinical bleeding severity may not match amount of deficiency

  18. Other Inherited Bleeding Disorders Congenital factor deficiencies von Willebrand’s Disease Other congenital platelet disorders Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia Bernard Soulier Syndrome

  19. von Willebrand’s Disease Autosomally inherited bleeding disorder, mucocutaneous Deficiency or dysfunction of the protein termed von Willebrand factor (vWF) Primary hemostasis is impaired Defective interaction between platelets and the vessel wall

  20. Factor VII Deficiency Fewer than 200 cases of true factor VII deficiency have been reported Gene mutations, protein dysfunction Factor VII coagulant activities measured in the laboratory are not well correlated with bleeding manifestations

  21. Acquired Bleeding Disorders Vitamin K Deficiency Severe Liver Disease Factors II, VII, IX and X are decreased Platelets dysfunctional Renal Disease Platelet dysfunction

  22. Acquired Bleeding Disorders Oral Anticoagulant Therapy Prolonged Use of Antibiotics Develop anti-platelet antibodies Vitamin K deficiency Acquired Inhibitors (Antibodies) Post malignancy Related to pregnancy Idiopathic Elderly

  23. Emergency Department Evaluation

  24. Patient Demographics Hemophilia Present in childhood, esp with greater disease severity All races X-linked, recessive  males

  25. Patient Presentations Mannucci et al. Blood 2004;104:1243-1252

  26. History What is the Bleeding Disorder? vWD, Hemophilia A/B, other factor deficiency or platelet disorder

  27. History What is the severity of the factor deficiency? Severe - < 1% factor present Bleed spontaneously and often e.g. weekly Moderate – 1-5 % Can have spontaneous bleeding but less frequent e.g. monthly Mild - > 5 % Bleed only when hemostasis is challenged e.g. trauma and surgery

  28. History Do they have a inhibitor (assoc with congenital factor def)? What is their HIV/Hepatitis Status? How is the bleeding disorder being treated? When was your most recent treatment or infusion? Are you taking other medications?

  29. Hemorrhage History General - Weakness and orthostasis Musculoskeletal (joints) - Tingling, cracking, warmth, pain, stiffness, and refusal to use joint (children) CNS - Headache, stiff neck, vomiting, lethargy, irritability, and spinal cord syndromes

  30. Hemorrhage History GI - Hematemesis, melena, frank red blood per rectum, and abdominal pain Genitourinary - Hematuria, renal colic, and postcircumcision bleeding

  31. Hemorrhage History Other - Epistaxis, oral mucosal hemorrhage, hemoptysis, dyspnea (hematoma leading to airway obstruction), compartment syndrome symptoms, and contusions; excessive bleeding with routine dental procedures

  32. Physical Exam General hemorrhage signs Organ-specific hemorrhage signs Hepatitis signs Infections signs Medic Alert bracelet Wallet

  33. Physical Exam General hemorrhage signs Organ-specific hemorrhage signs Hepatitis signs Infections signs Medic Alert bracelet Wallet (Hemophilia Treatment Center Card)

  34. Laboratory Testing CBC (Hb, platelets, WBC) PT, aPTT vWF:Ag (Von Willibrand factor antigen) Ristocetin Co-Factor Measures vWF activity to identify qualitative vWF disorder Factor coagulant activity e.g. VIII:C, IX:C in hemophilias Bleeding time?

  35. Lab Results for Bleeding Disorders

  36. Laboratory Testing PT: Extrinsic, should be normal unless FVII deficiency or acquired aPTT: Intrinsic, elevated in moderate hemophilia disease severity

  37. Other ED Testing Extremity xrays Head CT Abdominal CT Tests for increased compartment pressures Nuclear bleeding studies

  38. Emergency Department Management

  39. Initial Management Treat the patient ABCs Direct hemorrhage control Hemodynamic support Crystalloids Blood products Specifically assist hemostasis

  40. The 3 Phases of Hemostasis Primary hemostasis: • Vasoconstriction • Platelet adhesion • Platelet aggregation and contraction Secondary hemostasis: • Activation of coagulation factors • Formation of fibrin Fibrinolysis: • Activation of fibrinolysis • Lysis of the plug

  41. Blood Vessel & Endothelium • Hemostasis requires and involves various physiological components: • The blood vessel wall • Endothelial cells • Subendothelial tissue • Smooth muscle cells • The components of blood • Platelets (thrombocytes) • Coagulation (clotting) factors • Fibrinolytic/ anticoagulant proteins

  42. Primary Hemostasis: Vasoconstriction • The first response to endothelial injury is the constriction of the damaged vessel which reduces the blood flow at the site of injury

  43. Primary Hemostasis: Formation of a Platelet Plug • The exposure of subendothelial components such as collagen promotes platelet adhesion • The adherence of platelets to the sub-endothelium leads to platelet activation and the formation of platelet aggregates (platelet plug)

  44. Secondary Hemostasis • At the site of vascular injury binding of endogenous factor VII/VIIa to tissue factor (TF) leads to the generation of small amounts of thrombin  • Thrombin activates platelets and additional coagulation factors which subsequently generate large amounts of thrombin  • This “thrombin burst” induces the generationof a haemostatic plugthat prevents furtherblood loss  Adapted from Hoffman M et al., 2001.1

  45. How a Blood Clot Forms: Step 2 PTT PT HMWK,PK XII TF XI IX VIIa/TF VII VIIIa X X Va IIa (thrombin) II (prothrombin) fibrinogen Fibrin Clot (factor I)

  46. What is Broken? Platelets Clotting factors Coagulation cascade

  47. What Can Be Provided? Vitamin K FFP (Fresh frozen plasma) PCC (prothrombin complex concentrate) Platelets, packed RBCs, whole blood Specific clotting factors Anti-fibrinolytics, anti-hemophilics

  48. Hemophilia A: Factor VIII Recombinant factor VIII concentrate is the preferred source of factor VIII. The factor VIII activity level should be corrected to 100% of normal for potentially serious hemorrhage. Units factor VIII=(weight in kg)(50 mL plasma/kg)(1 U factor VIII/mL plasma)(desired factor VIII level minus the native factor VIII level)

  49. Hemophilia A: Factor VIII As an example, an 80-kg individual diagnosed with hemophilia with known 1% factor VIII activity level presents to the ED with a severe upper GI bleed. Units factor VIII = (80 kg)(50 mL/kg)(1 U factor VIII/mL)(.99) = 3960

  50. Hemophilia A: Factor VIII Next dose: 12 hours later, 1/2 initial dose. Minor hemorrhage: 1-3 doses factor VIII. Major hemorrhage: many doses, continued factor VIII activity monitoring. Goal: trough activity level at least 50%.
