July 26, 200916 yr dear collegues, just want to know the protocol for correction of coagulopathy, and use of FFP in preterms,
August 1, 200916 yr FFP = Fresh Frozen Plasma We generally administer 10 ml/kg of plasma and then re-check coagulation parameters, and repeat plasma if needed. Specific coagulation factors are not used unless very special circumstances.
August 8, 200916 yr comment_2242 FFP 10ml/kg . Make sure taht Vitamin K is administered if not give vit K also. then repeat coagulation profile and repeat FFP if needed. Alex Daniel Send Sticky Note

February 9, 201412 yr Do all preterm neonates on antibiotics require weekly Vitamin K IM injection even if on EBM/ Breast feeds? If so till how long?We do not administer vitamin K on a routinely basis, BESIDES the first shot given intramusc to ALL newborn infants regardless of gestational age.(and we do give extra vitamin K in cases of cholestatic jaundice, but that's a somewhat different story)
February 24, 201412 yr We administer vit k every w to any baby on broad spectrum antibiotic in our nicu on ivf
March 15, 201511 yr No need for vit K repeat dose if baby on antibiotics. If we see any s/s of coagulopathy then we can repeat dose but routinely I don't tHink its recommended. Sanjay Patel,MD Texas
