Women’s personal experiences of surgery
“I need surgery and got my treatment plan. This one is different from the last one. I’m worried if everything will go well” | “Surgery went well, but I had a bleed afterwards when I was back home. I got hospitalised again” | “My physician was too scared of bleeds during surgery, so he decided not to perform surgery” | “I had surgery but they didn’t consult my haematologist” | “They almost gave me painkillers with blood thinners” |

MAJOR SURGERY | MINOR SURGERY | |
---|---|---|
Loading dose VWF:RCo | 40–60 IU/kg | 30–60 IU/kg |
Target level for surgery | VWF: RCo and FVIII 100 IU/dL | VWF: RCo and FVIII ≥80 IU/dL |
Maintenance dose VWF:RCo | 20–40 IU/kg every 8–24 hours | 20–40 IU/kg every 12–24 hours |
Sustained post-OP troughs of VWF: | >50 IU/dL for 7–14 days | >50 IU/dL for 3–5 days |
Monitoring FVIII and VWF:RCo | troughs and peaks daily | trough and peak at least once |
Safety parameter | VWF:RCo <200 and FVIII<200-300 IU/dL |
