Identifying optimal heparin management during cardiopulmonary bypass in obese patients

Abstract: The standard heparin regimen based on TBW in obese patients during CPB results in excessive plasma heparin concentrations and a significant intraoperative decrease in haemoglobin concentration. ACT monitoring was not accurate in identifying this excess dosage. An initial bolus of 340 IU kg ideal body weight would achieve a heparin concentration of 4.5 IU ml, similar to that observed in nonobese patients. Further investigations are warranted to confirm this heparin regimen.

“…The majority of studies retrieved concerned the cardiovascular (n = 14) [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], respiratory (n = 7) [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and neurological (n = 9) [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] systems. Two pertained to point-of-care testing [38,39]. These were tabulated according to theme (Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, hereafter).…”

“…Obesity is associated with physiological and anthropometric changes that alter the pharmacokinetics of most drugs. As our focus was on intraoperative monitoring, we included two studies (Table 9 ) [ 38 , 39 ] which looked at point-of-care testing and heparin dosing in obesity. In the context of extracorporeal circulation, point-of-care testing (activated clotting time) did not reliably detect the excessively high plasma heparin concentrations often achieved in the obese patient dosed according to total body weight.…”

“…Moreover, the excess of heparin in that plateau phase, which is responsible for the increased perioperative bleeding, cannot be accurately assessed by ACT. [13] It is stated in the EACTA/EACTS 2017 guidelines that the most optimal follow-up would be achieved with heparin blood level, not with ACT. [14] Protamine administration is another important issue and dependent on heparin dose.…”
