In Vitro and in Vivo studies of the Effects of Cold Argon Plasma on Decreasing the Coagulation Time
Introduction Cold plasma is a self-sterilized, painless, and non-contact method in surgeries. These properties allow it to be applied to the living tissues and heat-sensitive parts. The aim of this study was to design a new cold plasma producer device and evaluate the effects of cold argon plasma on decreasing the coagulation time of blood drop in vitro and that of the injured liver blood in vi...
متن کاملCongenital Hypofibrinogenemia Detected during Preoperative Workup for Major Cardiac Surgery
Afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia is a quantitative defect in fibrinogen. It is a rare disease with estimated frequency of 1 in 1,000,000 population. Routine preoperative screening tests of coagulation disorders are insufficient to detect subtle disorders of fibrinogen. Herein, we report a child who was supposed to undergo open cardiac surgery for a large atrial septal defect. Preoperative ...
متن کاملBleeding from a tear in the gastric mucosa caused by transoesophageal echocardiography during cardiac surgery: effective haemostasis by endoscopic argon plasma coagulation.
We present an unusual complication of transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) during cardiac surgery. Although the patient had no oesophageal or gastrointestinal disease, a gastric mucosal tear of approximately 2 cm long occurred in the mucosa just distal to the gastrooesophageal junction caused by the TOE probe. Bleeding from the tear was stopped using endoscopic argon plasma coagulation.
متن کاملPoint-of-Care Testing—Real Time Monitoring The monitoring of the coagulation system assists with blood clot formation after cardiac surgery by allowing for early and pre-emptive intervention during the operative pro-
P52 Coagulation is a complex process that results in blood forming clots at tissue and vessel sites where damage has occurred, thereby stopping bleeding. Cardiac surgery extensively alters the normal coagulation process both intentionally and unintentionally. More often than not, cardiac surgery uses cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for intervention and surgical correction. Before initiating cardio...
متن کاملUnderstanding the delicate balance between bleeding and thrombosis: can we use it to our advantage?
Hemostasis remains an issue in cardiac surgery because many patients are preoperatively on platelet-inhibiting drugs, whereas other patients such as those with an evolving acute myocardial infarction present themselves in a more prothrombotic status. Classical laboratory tests such as activated partial thrombin time and plasma thromboplastin are poor in predicting blood loss and bleeding proble...
