Transfusion management of abdominal delivery in pregnant women at high risk of bleeding with hemostasis control

Abstract

Objective of the study . Optimization of transfusion support of abdominal delivery in pregnant women at risk of obstetric haemorrhage using monitored management of haemostasis disorders. Study materials. The study group consisted of 24 women of 23-47 years old with abnormal placental invasion (API) and bleeding during caesarean section at a gestational age of 32-36 weeks. Group 1 consisted of 14 patients, who were injected with tranexamic acid as part of combined therapy; Group 2 consisted of 10 women, who were injected with aminomethylbenzoic acid as part of combined therapy. Results. All patients received instrumental autoerythrocyte reinfusion. Three patients of Group 1 (21.4%) with refractory bleeding received recombinant coagulation factor VIIa (Coagil, Russia) at a dose of 60 pg/kg body weight (average dose 6.6 ± 1.4 mg), a decrease in bleeding was observed, the operative treatment was completed in the form of metroplasty. In the early stages of bleeding, eight patients were injected with a prothrombin complex concentrate of 600-1,200 IU before administration of fresh-frozen plasma (FFP), which allowed to reduce the volume of donor FFP in these patients. The study of hemostasis showed a very high inverse relationship between extent of blood loss and fibrinogen level in the groups of patients. Conclusion. The use of factor VIIa in refractory major obstetric haemorrhage (MOH) in patients with API allows to reduce the blood loss, perform metroplasty, and preserve the woman’s fertility. Patient blood management (PCM) in pregnant women with API makes it possible to conduct organ-preserving treatment in 91.7% of women.
