Whole blood thromboelastometry: another Knight at the Roundtable?
Thromboelastography and thromboelastometry represent viscoelastic diagnostic methodologies with promising application to diseases of altered coagulation. Their use in trauma-induced coagulopathy as a means of assessing the real-time status of the patient's functional coagulation profile in addition to its impact on effective and appropriate use of blood product support has been gaining acceptan...
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 کاملAnother Look at the Hypocrisy of Chaucer’s Pardoner
For us, readers of Chaucer living in an age when appeal to religious passions and sentiments as a means for the realization of worldly objectives by some charlatans has grown significantly, reviewing the theme of religious hypocrisy treated in The Canterbury Tales can be useful in a way that it proves a helpful means for recognizing and dealing with the hypocrites. The Pardoner of the Tales is ...
متن کاملThromboelastometry
The severity of liver disease is assessed by scoring systems, which include the conventional coagulation test prothrombin time-the international normalized ratio (PT-INR). However, PT-INR is not predictive of bleeding in liver disease and thromboelastometry (ROTEM) has been suggested to give a better overview of the coagulation system in these patients. It has now been suggested that coagulatio...
متن کاملHypercoagulability in splenectomized thalassemic patients detected by whole-blood thromboelastometry, but not by thrombin generation in platelet-poor plasma.
BACKGROUND The mechanisms responsible for the increased thrombotic risk associated with thalassemia are still unclear. They might be related to the effects of red blood cell or endothelial cell derangements, increased numbers of platelets as well as abnormal plasma coagulation. DESIGN AND METHODS To evaluate the relative role played by cells and plasma we investigated 169 patients with thalas...
