Coagulopathies in Cyanotic Cardiac Patients: An Analysis with Three Point-of-care Testing Devices (Thromboelastography, Rotational Thromboelastometry, and Sonoclot Analyzer)
INTRODUCTION In the last few years, viscoelastic point-of-care (POC) coagulation devices such as thromboelastography (TEG), rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), and Sonoclot (SON) analyzer have been increasingly used in major surgeries for timely assessment and management of coagulopathies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate coagulation profile of cyanotic cardiac patients with TEG,...
متن کاملEthanol impairs coagulation and fibrinolysis in whole blood: a study performed with rotational thromboelastometry.
The objective was to study the effects of ethanol on coagulation and fibrinolysis in whole blood. Blood samples from healthy volunteers were analyzed before and after in-vitro addition of ethanol in order to achieve ethanol concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 4 per thousand, respectively (0, 22, 44 and 88 mmol/l). Coagulation and fibrinolysis were then assessed using rotational thromboelastometry. We...
متن کاملPoint-of-care coagulation testing: stepping gently forward.
As a specialist in diagnostic coagulation, I am frequently faced with a patient who does not want to drive into Boston to be monitored for warfarin (coumadin) therapy at our anticoagulation clinic. This fact has not been lost on instrument manufacturers, who have produced multiple point-of-care devices for home monitoring of the prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR). The numb...
متن کاملPoint-of-care coagulation testing and transfusion algorithms.
Patients with cardiovascular disease have an array of haemostasis disorders that predispose to the development of thrombotic and embolic disease states. These patients are often maintained on anti-thrombotic medication to prevent adverse cardiovascular events. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery also have haemostatic disorders that include their intrinsic disease state, adjunctive medication, a...
متن کاملThe effect of hyperglycemia on blood coagulation: In vitro, observational healthy-volunteer study using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM)
We performed a study to investigate whether contamination of hemostasis samples with a glucose-containing solution might generate spurious results in rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) tests.Venous blood was taken from 12 healthy volunteers and divided into 4 specimen bottles, which were contaminated with different concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%) of glucose solution.Significant lengthe...
