Effective hemostasis in children with Von Willebrand factor defects undergoing adenotonsillar procedures.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Children with low von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity or type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD) have increased risk of bleeding after adenotonsillar procedures and the optimal perioperative management to minimize bleeding is unknown. AIM:To report the effectiveness and safety of an institutional protocol in minimizing postoperative bleeding in children with type 1 VWD or low VWF activity. METHODS:We conducted a retrospective chart review in children with type 1 VWD or low VWF activity treated via an institutional protocol that utilizes repeated doses of Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP, 1-deamino 8-D arginine- vasopressin) or VWF concentrate, brief hospitalization for observation and extended use of oral epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA). RESULTS:From 2010 to 2017, 13 children underwent an adenotonsillar procedure and were treated with this protocol. Although 7.6% had minor immediate bleeding and 23% had minor delayed bleeding, no patients experienced major bleeding or required transfusion, additional surgery or other measures not specified by the protocol. Mild hyponatremia was observed in 80% of patients who received DDAVP. CONCLUSION:Our institutional protocol specifying repeated dosing of DDAVP or VWF concentrate to sustain elevated VWF levels during periods of highest bleeding risk and extended use of EACA is effective at preventing major bleeding episodes after adenotonsillar procedures. However, this analysis raised safety concerns that prompted changes in the institutional protocol and highlight the need for further prospective studies to determine the optimal strategy for safely reducing bleeding complications in these patients.
