Changes in fibrinolytic activity during surgical procedures

Changes in Fibrinolytic Activity during Surgical Procedures.

Does the type of surgical operation influence the changes observed in fibrinolytic activity after cardiopulmonary bypass?

Fibrinolytic activity of tissue surfaces during surgery.

A non-invasive method has been developed for the study of tissue surface fibrinolytic activity during surgery in man. Surface exudate was collected using a filter-paper disc which was then applied directly to a fibrin plate or used to prepare a euglobulin fraction. The method detected the intraoperative increase in fibrinolytic activity. At 45 minutes from the start of surgery the increase in l...

Variations of plasma cortisol and blood fibrinolytic activity during anaesthetic and surgical stress.

Blood fibrinolytic activity and plasma cortisol levels were investigated during surgical procedures in twenty-three patients who underwent laparotomy. From 30 minutes to 1^ hours of surgical stress, enhancement of fibrinolysis was significantly correlated with increase of plasma cortisol levels. There were no exceptions to this pattern. The changes in fibrinolytic activity and plasma cortisol l...

Changes in fibrinolytic activity of blood after prostatectomy.

After prostatectomy, hypofibrinogenemia and bleeding were reported earlier. The objective of present study is to find out, of blood, after prostatectomy. Blood samples of patients posted for operations were studied by following tests before and after operation along with controls. 1. Euglobulin lysis time. 2. Plasminogen assay. 3. Fibrinogen estimation. The results showed clearly that there is ...
