THE ROLE OF EVIDENCE-BASED ALGORITHMS FOR ROTATIONAL THROMBOELASTOMETRY- GUIDED BLEEDING MANAGEMENT

K. Goerlinger et al.

Summary: ROTEM is a point-of-care viscoelastic method that assesses viscoelastic profiles of whole blood. ROTEM-guided bleeding management is crucial for improving patient safety and is an important part of patient blood management.

Anesthesia Considerations in Infective Endocarditis

Henning Hermanns et al.

Summary: The management of infective endocarditis requires multidisciplinary cooperation and a thorough understanding of specific characteristics in the perioperative period. This review summarizes the current knowledge on infective endocarditis relevant for the clinical anesthesiologist and advocates for their involvement as an important member of the endocarditis team.

Infective endocarditis complicated by embolic events: Pathogenesis and predictors

Wangling Hu et al.

Summary: Infective endocarditis (IE) presents a significant challenge due to its frequent and life-threatening embolic events. Accurate prediction of embolization is crucial for early identification and treatment of at-risk patients. Echocardiographic characteristics are the most powerful predictors of embolic events, while blood biomarkers and clinical characteristics also show promise in predicting embolic events.

Hypercoagulation detected by routine and global laboratory hemostasis assays in patients with infective endocarditis

Ekaterina M. Koltsova et al.

Summary: The study found that patients with infective endocarditis (IE) exhibit overall hypercoagulability and platelet pre-activation, with some patients showing hypocoagulant characteristics. No association was found between embolism or mortality and genetic polymorphisms in the cohort.

Escalating incidence of infective endocarditis in Europe in the 21st century

Khawaja M. Talha et al.

Summary: The systematic review on infective endocarditis (IE) in Europe over the past two decades showed a doubling of incidence, with elderly men being the predominant demographic. The annual incidence of IE increased by 4.1%, and Staphylococci and streptococci were the most commonly identified pathogens. Surgical intervention rates ranged from 10.2% to 60.0%, with inpatient mortality rates between 14.3% to 17.5%.

Rotational Thromboelastometry Findings Are Associated with Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolic Complications after Hip Fracture Surgery

Andreas G. Tsantes et al.

Summary: The study found abnormal ROTEM values and increased BMI to be associated with the presence or development of symptomatic VTE after hip fracture surgery. Preoperative clot formation time demonstrated the best performance for detecting the association of hypercoagulability with symptomatic VTE.

Heparin Resistance - Clinical Perspectives and Management Strategies

Jerrold H. Levy et al.

Summary: Heparin resistance occurs when higher doses of heparin are needed to achieve the therapeutic range of activated partial-thromboplastin time, and management may involve increasing the heparin dose, supplementing antithrombin III levels, and using direct thrombin inhibitors.

The role of rotational thromboelastometry during the COVID-19 pandemic: a narrative review

Klaus Goerlinger et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has been identified as a global health crisis, with the associated hypercoagulability posing a challenge for detection using standard coagulation tests. Rotational thromboelastometry provides comprehensive information on the coagulation status of patients and is recommended in combination with other tests to improve outcomes.urther research is needed to develop evidence-based guidelines and protocols for managing COVID-19-associated coagulopathy.
