Article Synopsis
  • Fibrinolysis plays a crucial role in the release of hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow, affecting the development of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
  • Activation of plasmin, driven by annexin A2, alters the extracellular matrix (ECM), which impacts cancer cell growth by trapping the growth factor IGF1 and hindering signaling pathways.
  • Inhibiting plasmin activation with ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA) shows promise in reducing tumor size and extending survival in B-ALL models, suggesting that targeting fibrinolysis could be a helpful addition to cancer treatment.

Objectives: To derive systematic-review informed, modified Delphi consensus regarding antifibrinolytic and adjunct hemostatic agents in neonates and children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the Pediatric ECMO Anticoagulation CollaborativE consensus conference.

Data Sources: A structured literature search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) databases from January 1988 to May 2021.

Study Selection: Use of antifibrinolytics (epsilon-aminocaproic acid [EACA] or tranexamic acid), recombinant factor VII activated (rFVIIa), or topical hemostatic agents (THAs).

Patients who develop an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) following thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have a mortality rate as high as 50%. Treatment options include blood products, such as cryoprecipitate, or antifibrinolytics, such as tranexamic acid (TXA) or ε-aminocaproic acid (EACA). Current guidelines recommend cryoprecipitate first-line despite limited data to support one agent over another.

Antifibrinolytics have gained increasing attention in minimizing blood loss and mitigating the risks associated with massive transfusions, including infection and coagulopathy in pediatric patients undergoing spine surgery. Nevertheless, the selection of optimal agent is still a matter of debate. We aim to review the utility of these agents and compare the efficacy of antifibrinolytics in pediatric and adolescent spine surgeries.
