Objective To investigate the clinical application of perioperative human serum albumin(HSA)in cardiac surgery in multiple regions in China,and to evaluate the rationality of its clinical application in conjunction with the clinical guidelines,in order to provide a reference for promoting the rational application of HSA.Methods The medical records of patients who underwent cardiac surgery from April to June 2019 in eight hospitals across the country were retrospectively collected.The statistical information on patients'general information,the dosage,course of treatment,and cost of HSA,and the serum albumin level before and after medication was analyzed to evaluate the use of HSA.Relevant evaluation criteria were established,and the rationality of its medication was evaluated.Results Data from a total of 449 patients were included for analysis,the appropriate rate of medication was 81.1%.The course of medication was mostly>2-5 days and the total amount of HSA was mostly 50-99 g.The main purpose of medicaiton were improving colloid osmotic pressure,reducing exudation to improve interstitial edema,postoperative volume expansion.Conclusion Clinical attention should be paid to ensure the rational application of HSA in cardiac surgery during the perioperative period and prevent the abuse of blood products.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for the formulation of the antithrombotic treatment regimen of children with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT). METHODS The clinical pharmacist participated in the antithrombotic treatment of a child with purpura nephritis complicated with lower extremity DVT and formulated an individualized dosing plan for the child. Considering that the child was readmitted to the hospital when DVT of the lower extremities did not relieve after anticoagulation therapy, it was recommended that thrombolytic therapy (Enoxaparin sodium injection 30 mg, q2 h, i.d.) be initiated after joint consultation by clinical pharmacists and physicians; catheter thrombolysis and thrombolytic drug therapy were simultaneously performed (intravenous infusion of 200 000 units of Urokinase for injection, per day); great attention should be paid to the occurrence of adverse drug reactions in children, and the changes in coagulation indexes of the children should be monitored. For long-term anticoagulation therapy after discharge, clinical pharmacists recommended oral Rivaroxaban tablets 10 mg, qd, and adjusted the dose according to the weight change of the child. RESULTS The clinician adopted the pharmacist’s recommendations. After drug thrombolytic therapy, the child’s coagulation indicators returned to normal, the symptoms of lower extremity DVT improved significantly, and there were no adverse events of bleeding or other thrombotic events after discharge. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists can assist clinicians in formulating individualized treatment plans for children based on their expertise in pharmacy to ensure the rationality of medication use in children, which helps ensure the effectiveness and safety of medication for children.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of different bridging anticoagulant therapies in patients undergoing mechanical heart valve replacement (MHVR) surgery.
Methods:
Consecutive patients undergoing MHVR surgery from January 2018 to December 2018 in First Hospital of Lanzhou University were prospectively enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into unfractionated heparin (UFH) group and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) group according to the postoperative bridging anticoagulation methods. Preoperative clinical data and postoperative related time and cost parameters, including drainage time, duration of stay in intensive care unit (ICU), postoperative time (interval from end of operation to discharge) and INR stabilization time (interval from start of bridge anticoagulation to INR value reaching the standard for 2 consecutive days) of all enrolled patients were collected, and all patients were followed up for 4 weeks and thromboembolic or bleeding events were analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the independent prognostic factors of thromboembolic or bleeding events after MHVR receiving various bridging anticoagulant therapies.
Results:
A total of 217 patients were included in the study, including 120 patients in the UFH group and 97 patients in the LMWH group. Stroke occurred in two patients in the UFH group, while no stroke event occurred in the LMWH group. The incidence of bleeding events was significantly higher (9.28%(9/97) vs. 1.67%(2/120),
