There was insufficient direct comparative evidence between different therapies to treat thrombocytopenia. A majority of trials were small and of short duration. Guidelines recommend corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) as first-line therapy for most adults with idiopathic thrombocytopenia (ITP). Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPOs) and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, fostamatinib, are recommended as second-line treatments after failure of at least one other treatment.1–3 Avatrombopag and lusutrombopag are only approved for short-term use before procedures in patients with chronic liver failure.

Herbert Scho¨chl,*† Christoph J. Schlimp,† and Marc Maegele‡ *AUVA Trauma Centre Salzburg, Academic Teaching Hospital of the Paracelsus Medical University Salzburg, Salzburg; and †Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical and Traumatology, AUVA Research Centre, Vienna, Austria; and ‡Department of Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery, University of Witten/Herdecke, Cologne-Merheim Medical Center, Cologne, Germany Received 15 Sep 2013; first review completed 1 Oct 2013; accepted in final form 8 Nov 2013 ABSTRACT—Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) occurs early after severe injury. TIC is associated with a substantial increase in bleeding rate, transfusion requirements, and a 4-fold higher mortality. Rapid surgical control of blood loss and early aggressive hemostatic therapy are essential steps in improving survival. Since the publication of the CRASH-2 study, early administration of tranexamic acid is considered as an integral step in trauma resuscitation protocols of severely injured patients in many trauma centers. However, the advantage of en route administration of tranexamic acid is not proven in prospective studies. Fibrinogen depletes early after severe trauma; therefore, it seems to be reasonable to maintain plasma fibrinogen as early as possible. The effect of prehospital fibrinogen concentrate administration on outcome in major trauma patients is the subject of an ongoing prospective investigation. The use of prothrombin complex concentrate is potentially helpful in patients anticoagulated with vitamin K antagonists who experience substantial trauma or traumatic brain injury. Beyond emergency reversal of vitamin K antagonists, safety data on prothrombin complex concentrate use in trauma are lacking.

Frazier, MD gery. Although aprotinin has recently been approved by the Food and Drug Administra- Denton A. Cooley, MD tion for use as an antifibrinolytic agent, many surgeons continue to have concerns about its added cost and potential side effects. We review here the current state of anti- fibrinolytic therapy for excessive bleeding in cardiothoracic surgery and suggest the use of a single intravenous dose of 10 g of e-aminocaproic acid immediately before cardio- pulmonary bypass as a safe, inexpensive, and effective alternative to aprotinin. Further clinical and laboratory studies are needed to confirm or modify this protocol. (Tex Heart Inst J 1995;22:211-5) B leeding continues to be a significant complication after cardiac surgery, even in the current, state-of-the-art, surgical practice. Public apprehension of transfusion-related communicable diseases, particularly acquired im- munodeficiency syndrome, has refocused the attention of cardiac surgeons on the importance of hemostasis to minimize the need for, and therefore the risks of, blood transfusion.'"3 Recent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of aprotinin as an agent for reducing blood loss during surgery has generated enthusiasm among cardiac surgeons. However, the use of aprotinin in routine practice has not been widely accepted because of the added cost, the risk of anaphylactic reaction, and the potential for increased incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction and graft thrombosis.47 Because both laboratory and clinical data support fibrinolysis as the mecha- nism of postoperative bleeding in open-heart surgery,"'2 the use of an antifibrino- lytic agent seems appropriate.
