  • Anticoagulation assessment methods in plasma exchange with regional citrate anticoagulation: evaluation of post-filter and filtered plasma ionized calcium
    Antonič, Manja ...
    Aim: To assess the possibility of using filtered plasma instead of postfilter ionized calcium (iCa) for the assessment of anticoagulation in plasma exchange (PE) with citrate anticoagulation. ... Methods: 140 PE treatments were performed using either 4% or 15% citrate at a comparable dose. Paired samples of postfilter blood and filtered plasma were taken for iCa measurements with a point-of-care analyzer. Anticoagulation was also assessed with a bedside clotting time and visual assessment of the circuit after procedures. Results: In 490 paired samples, mean postfilter iCa was 0.39 +/- 0.14 mmol/L, and filtered plasma iCa was 0.33 +/- 0.11 mmol/L. Mean bedside clotting time was 18 +/- 7 minutes. Neither the postfilter (r = 0.03, p = 0.73) nor the filtered plasma iCa (r = 0.09, p = 0.25) correlated significantly with bedside clotting time. Bland-Altman analysis showed a modest agreement between filtered plasma and postfilter iCa values (mean difference -0.07 mmol/L, upper and lower 95% limits of agreement 0.10 and -0.23 mmol/L). Median visual assessment score was excellent at all three checkpoints. Conclusions: A modest agreement between filtered plasma and postfilter iCa values could be acceptable if only a confirmation of anticoagulant effect is required. Measuring filtered plasma instead of postfilter iCa would reduce blood loss with sampling, which could be important in some settings.
