Acute chest syndrome and sickle cell disease.

Abstract:

:Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is the presence of a new pulmonary infiltrate in combination with fever or respiratory symptoms in a patient with sickle cell disease. ACS is the leading cause of death in sickle cell disease, and many patients suffer from multiple, severe episodes. Age has a striking effect on the clinical course and outcome of ACS, with children having milder disease that often is infectious. Adults often have severe disease, and pulmonary fat embolism is frequently a component of severe ACS. Rapid diagnosis and appropriate therapy including antibiotics for atypical infections, fluids, aerosolized beta agonists, and adequate pain control are necessary to reduce morbidity. Transfusion is indicated in hypoxic patients and can be used to prevent recurrent episodes. As the pathophysiology of ACS is further delineated, new treatment strategies will be investigated.

  • Transfusion-sparing hemostatic agents.

    abstract::A variety of agents are available to improve hemostasis and reduce blood loss in multiple clinical settings. These agents are most commonly used to reduce bleeding when an underlying hemostatic defect is present. Some new agents offer the potential to decrease blood loss even in the absence of an obvious underlying he...
