1 Use of the Activated Coagulation Time in In traoperative Heparin Reversal for Cardiopulmonary Operations ' Kenneth L. Mattox, M.D., Gene A. Guinn, M.D., Pedro A. Rubio, M.D., and Arthur C. Beall, Jr., M.D. ABSTRACT Activated clotting time (ACT) was used in 300 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac operations to determine the adequacy of heparin reversal. Mean ACT prior to protamine sulfate administration was 9 minutes 40 seconds. A return to normal value (< 2 min 10 sec) occurred in three-fourths of our patients following administration of 1.5 mg of protamine sulfate for each 100 units of heparin. Additional protamine sulfate was administered in 50 mg doses to those having abnormal ACT until normal clotting was obtained. Normal values for ACT usually coincided with clotting in the operative field. ACT proved to be a reliable guide to protamine sulfate administration. H eparin is usually neutralized with protamine sulfate to control blood loss at the completion of cardiopulmonary bypass. Objective clotting tests to evaluate the efficacy of this neutralization have been the whole-blood coagulation time (WBCT)[ 17, 221; the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) [6, 181; the partial thromboplastin time (FTT)[21, 301; the heparin assay - rapid, easy method (HAREN)[4]; the ground-glass clotting time [ 191; and the thrombin clotting time [261. These tests have proved difficult to work with in the operating room, and their application in the assessment of heparin reversal has been limited. In 1966 Hattersley [ 161 described the activated coagulation time (ACT). In this test 2 ml of whole blood is added to a tube containing 12 mg of diatomaceous or siliceous earth.* The immediate activation of clotting in freshly drawn blood by the inert diatomite greatly shortens the coagulation time and produces a sensitive, reproducible test of coagulation. Favorable experience using the ACT in long-term heparin administration has been reported by Allison and associates [ 11. Hill and co-workers 1171 reported the simplicity and reliability of ACT in patients on prolonged extracorporeal circulation. Our paper reports the use of activated clotting time as a guide to evaluating heparin reversal at the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Of the 300 open-heart operations performed, 2 14 were coronary artery bypass procedures, 62 were valve replacements, and 24 were other open-heart procedures (Table 1). Duration of cardiopulmonary bypass ranged from 45 to 180 minutes (average, 85 minutes). The anesthetic agent in all patients was a narcotic with supplemental analgesic drugs. Approximately one-third of the patients had 1,000 ml of 5% alcohol infused intrzgvenously to counteract the antidiuretic effect of morphine [24]. The operative results in the patients undergoing coronary bypass have been reported previously [25]. Patients received bovine lung heparin, 3 mg per kilogram of body weight, before cannulation. At the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, 1.5 mg of protamine sulfate was given for each 100 units of heparin. Seventy patients had moderate hypothermia (28 C) during the later part of the study. Activated clotting time was tested 15 minutes following completion of protamine sulfate administration. The average time from administration of heparin until protamine sulfate was given was 95 minutes. Fifteen minutes after the protamine sulfate had been given and after the pump reservoir blood had been returned to the patient, 1 ml of blood was withdrawn from the central venous pressure line and discarded. Two ml of blood was then drawn and placed in a prewarmed glass tube containing 12 mg of siliceous earth prewarmed to 37"C, and a timer was started. The tube was inverted three times to mix the contents and was placed in a Thermolyne dry bath* at 37 C for 60 seconds. It was then inverted every 5 seconds until the first definite clot formed. Clotting time was recorded to the nearest 5 seconds. The normal ACT is less than 2 minutes 10 seconds [16]. If the coagulation time was prolonged, additional protamine sulfate was administered in 50 mg doses until a normal ACT was obtained (Table 2). Results Seventy-five percent of the 300 patients had a normal ACT after heparin neutralization; the remaining 25% required one or more additional 50 mg aliquots of protamine sulfate. Because of the large quantity (3 mg/kg) of heparin given to ensure against any possibility of clotting in the extracorporeal circuit, the *Model DB-5915E, Sybron Corp., Dubuque, Ill.

When extra heparin was administered due to extended cardiopulmonary bypass (> 100 min), the reliability of ACT in detecting adequacy of heparin reversal was not altered. Ten patients required two or more additional 50 mg doses of protamine sulfate before a normal ACT was achieved. The appearance of clotting in the operative field usually coincided with normal ACT. Average blood replacement was 1,237 ml. Eleven of the 300 patients required reoperation for postoperative bleeding. In these 11 patients the platelets, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, fibrinolysin activity, serum calcium, and ACT were normal. Specific bleeding sites that were controllable were found in 7 patients; the other 4 patients had only a generalized ooze. Comment Heparin as an anticoagulant for extracorporeal circulation is universally utilized 19, 11, 20, 293. While activity may vary from lot to lot, the half-life of heparin is reported to be from 1 to 1 Yi hours [2,9-1 1,201. The incoagulable state is extended as larger doses are given. Heparin neutralization with protamine sulfate at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass is used by most surgeons, although this concept has been questioned [5,11,12,20]. Protamine sulfate has been shown to produce blood coagulation defects and to exert a specific action on the cardiovascular system. When given in levels greater than 3 mg per kilogram, protamine sulfate acts as a true antithromboplastin by producing a deficiency in Factor VIII [13]. Studies by Ellison and associates [S] have demonstrated that this anticoagulant activity is transient and probably unimportant. Systemic effects of protamine sulfate include arterial hypotension, decreased cardiac output, decreased total-body vascular resistance, decreased blood flow, and increased resistance in the superior mesenteric artery For these reasons, proper dosage and slow administration are important considerations. The traditional test for monitoring the anticoagulant effects of heparin has been the whole-blood clotting time [17, 21, 22,301. Estes [9, 101 demonstrated a linear correlation between the whole-blood clotting time, the partial thromboplas- 636 THE ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY

The activated partial thromboplastin time is of value both for monitoring patients having continuous heparin infusion and in the control of heparin therapy in open-heart operations, but it must be done in the laboratory. Although initially.reported in 1966 by Hattersley [16], the ACT has not received wide use. It has been a reliable preoperative screening test, a guide to heparin reversal in patients undergoing heparinization for angiography, and a means of managing heparin administration in prolonged extracorporeal circulation up to 230 hours [ 17,281. It requires only one tube and 2 ml of whole blood. Its end-point is easily determined and reproducible. It can be performed in the operating suite, where its quick results make it practical as a guide to protamine administration. In instances of prolonged ACT and in patients with persistent postoperative bleeding, the ACT is utilized in conjunction with ongoing evaluation of more specific coagulation deficiencies. We have come to rely on the ACT in controlling blood loss due to residual heparin activity after cardiac operations. This simple test is useful both as an initial screening measure and as an adjunct to the standard battery of coagulation assays employed to evaluate bleeding. References 1.
