Evaluation of the SonoClot Analyzer for the measurement of platelet function in whole blood.

چکیده
A viscoelastometer, the SonoClot Coagulation Analyzer, has been proposed for use in the evaluation of platelet function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate systematically this instrument when used with whole blood. Under laboratory conditions, the coefficient of variation (cv) of determinations of whole blood activated clotting time (ACT) on the instrument was approximately 7.0 percent. In contrast, the cv of measurements on whole blood related to the graphic events associated with clot formation ranged from 9.2 to 41.7 percent. Because of the large and variable cvs associated with these measurements of clotting, the SonoClot Analyzer cannot presently be recommended for use in studies designed to examine quantitatively the clotting function in whole blood.

Sonoclot Signature Analysis in Patients with Liver Disease and Its Correlation with Conventional Coagulation Studies
Introduction. Liver disease patients have complex hemostatic defects leading to a delicate, unstable balance between bleeding and thrombosis. Conventional tests such as PT and APTT are unable to depict these defects completely. Aims. This study aimed at analyzing the abnormal effects of liver disease on sonoclot signature by using sonoclot analyzer (which depicts the entire hemostatic pathway) ...
متن کاملAssessment of neonatal platelet function using a viscoelastic technique.
The Sonoclot, a simple viscoelastometer, measures changes in the viscoelastic properties of plasma as it is recalcified. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and platelet poor plasma (PPP) each have characteristic Sonoclot tracings. This technique was applied to evaluate the coagulability and platelet function, specifically, in PRP prepared from 53 normal term newborn cord bloods and whole blood from 17 ...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a newer test of platelet function, Sonoclot coagulation analysis, can identify the patients who develop significant prolongation of bleeding time after aspirin ingestion. Template bleeding time, platelet aggregation in response to arachidonic acid, collagen, epinephrine, adenosine diphosphate, and ristocetin, and Sonoclot coagulation ana...

BACKGROUND Thrombin plays a critical role in normal haemostasis and pathological thrombosis. Heparin has long been a mainstay choice of antithrombotic regimen in cardiac patients, but persistent thrombin generation seems to occur during heparin therapy. Because platelets are integral to primary haemostasis and clot formation, we evaluated the use of tirofiban (Aggrastat),a platelet inhibitor, a...

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,...
