Zapewnienie ciągłego wlewu z pompy infuzyjnej zamiast podaży bolusów może się okazać nie tylko korzystne czasowo i finansowo, ale również bardziej bezpieczne dla pacjenta ze względu na możliwość utrzymania stałego poziomu czynnika omijającego inhibitor. Zazwyczaj rFVIIa jest podawany dożylnie poprzez cewnik wprowadzany obwodowo. Ciekawą alternatywę dla pacjentów poddawanym leczeniu dożylnemu lub dla osób z trudnym dostępem naczyniowym stanowi wkłucie pośrednie (midline insertion). Założenie takiego wkłucia jest bezpieczniejsze dla pacjenta, a ryzyko infekcji można porównać z ryzykiem przy zastosowaniu innych obwodowych cewników żylnych. Zastosowanie techniki wkłucia pośredniego stanowi mniejsze zagrożenie dla pacjentów i pozwala obniżyć koszty leczenia.

Na skutek interakcji z agonistą dochodzi do aktywacji i następczej agregacji płytek krwi. Powstawaniu agregatów płytkowych towarzyszy proporcjonalny wzrost przepuszczalności światła.

The half time of rFVIIa is short, which requires frequent bolus injections in order to maintain hemostasis. Providing a continuous pump infusion instead of bolus injections could not only be more time and cost- -efficient but also safer by maintaining a constant level of the bypassing agent. rFVIIa is administered intravenously usually through a peripheral venous catheter. In patients with prolonged intravenous treatment or difficult-to-access peripheral vasculature, midline long peripheral intravenous catheters are an interesting alternative. They have favourable dwell times and failure rates while maintaining the same risk of infection as other peripherally inserted central catheters. This technique has the potential to reduce the costs as well as risk to the patients.

Comprehensive diagnostics of impaired platelet function (PLT) — the so called thrombocytopathy — requires the use of special testing. The gold standard for measurement/diagnostics of platelet function disorders is light transmission aggregometry (LTA). A platelet agonist (ADP, arachidonic acid, collagen, ristocetin, epinephrine) is added at an appropriate concentration to the sample of platelet-rich plasma. The interaction with the agonist leads to platelet activation and subsequent platelet aggregation. Aggregate formation is accompanied by a corresponding increase in light transmission. This review presents the principle of the LTA method, and a discussion of the basic panel of platelet aggregation agonists. In addition, the strengths and limitations of the LTA method are characterized and the method is compared with other alternative methods of PFD diagnostics.","PeriodicalId":52961,"journal":{"name":"Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136278816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
