Critical care at Octapharma
Our therapies play a key role in supporting critical care teams, helping to maintain vital functions and improve outcomes when lives are most at risk.
Managing coagulopathy
Many critically ill patients face challenges with blood clotting, a condition known as coagulopathy. This can increase the risk of serious bleeding. When the body responds to severe illness or injury, the systems that control blood clotting and inflammation can become unbalanced.
Managing major bleeding
Severe bleeding is a serious complication that can occur during complex surgery or after trauma. Recognising and controlling it can be challenging. Plasma transfusions or targeted coagulation factor treatments help replace the factors needed to restore normal blood clotting.
Restoring blood volume
Critically ill patients often experience hypovolemia, or low blood volume, due to bleeding or fluid loss from damaged blood vessels. In cases of shock, fluid therapy is essential to restore circulation and ensure vital organs receive enough blood flow.
