The hidden sepsis marker: aPTT waveform analysis.
Thromb Haemost 2008; 100: 9–10 Downey et al. published a paper in 1997 entitled ‘Novel and diagnostically applicable information from optical waveform analysis of blood coagulation in disseminated intravascular coagulation’ (1). Using a new automated coagulation analyzer, the MDA-180, the authors observed that during measurement of the aPTT, some samples became turbid immediately after addition...
متن کاملSystemic inflammatory response syndrome and compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome in sepsis.
the concepts of SIRS and CARS still exist, although the notion that CARS represents a reaction to SIRS has been challenged [3, 4] . In this theme issue of the Journal of Innate Immunity, current knowledge of several aspects of the SIRS and CARS concepts are reviewed in 7 articles; the issue is completed by 3 original articles about these topics. Kumpf and Schumann [5] summarize data on genetic ...
متن کاملSystemic inflammatory response syndrome criteria in defining severe sepsis.
BACKGROUND The consensus definition of severe sepsis requires suspected or proven infection, organ failure, and signs that meet two or more criteria for the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). We aimed to test the sensitivity, face validity, and construct validity of this approach. METHODS We studied data from patients from 172 intensive care units in Australia and New Zealand fro...

متن کاملThe Systemic Pro-Inflammatory Response in Sepsis
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is the predominantly cytokine-mediated, pro-inflammatory response of the host to invading pathogens and is considered the hallmark sign of sepsis. Molecular components of this response can be divided into cytokines, plasma cascades and acute phase proteins while the predominant cellular components are leukocytes and the endothelium. Highthrough...
