Hyper- and hypocoagulopathy in sepsis, the dos and don'ts - Nicole Juffermans - SSAI2017
1. Coagulopathy in sepsis:
the do’s and dont’s

5. Lab results in sepsis patients
PT prolongend
APTT prolonged
platelets low
D dimer high ++
AT low ++
PT N
APTT N
platelets low – N
D dimer high
AT low
no DICDIC
6. TEG/ROTEM in sepsis patients
Mixed results: normal, hyper- and hypo profiles
Hypocoag dominates
CT, R prolonged
α angle decreased
MCF, MA decreased
Hypercoag dominates
CT, R shortened
α angle increased
MCF, MA increased
no DICDIC
Muller, Crit Care 2014
19. Platelet transfusion in patients with cerebral
hemorrhage under antiplatelet therapy
is associated with worse outcome
death or dependent
death or dependent
PATCH trial, Lancet 2016
29. Net effect: thrombin generation is
not altered by FFP
Muller, J Thromb Haem 2015
30. • There is risk of bleeding, but major bleeds
are rare
• Risk-benefit of platelets when count is 10-
50: unknown
• No rationale for FFP or antifibrinolytics
Interim conclusions
39. • Treat underlying condition
• Platelets when count < 10 x 109
/L; but
sooner when risk of bleeding
• Heparin prophylaxis recommended
• Heparin treatment when there is thrombosis
• AT/TM can be considered in DIC
40. Personal additions..
• Risk for major bleed in sepsis low
• Risk-benefit of platelet transfusion
when count is 10-50 is unclear
• Prophylaxis prior to invasive
procedures is probably not effective
• Stress ulcer prophylaxis ?
