Altered Coagulation Protein Content After Albumin Resuscitation

Cardiac resuscitation and coagulation.

1009 April 2014 C ARDIAC arrest occurs with an estimated annual incidence of 92 to 189 cases per 100,000 individuals and carries a poor prognosis despite advances in modern medicine.1 Even for patients in whom spontaneous circulation is restored, their subsequent hospital course is fraught with potential complications. Derangements in the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems frequently occur as...

The Heat Coagulation of Human Serum Albumin

The present studies were designed to develop a rapid micromethod for investigation of the effects of heat on relatively concentrated solutions of human serum albumin. The method so devised is proposed for the routine study of commercial preparations, and for inquiry into some of the factors that appear to determine the thermal stability of an albumin solution. As will be clear from the paragrap...

Xcviii. the Heat Coagulation of Egg-albumin

Fibrinogen availability and coagulation function after hemorrhage and resuscitation in pigs.

Hemorrhagic coagulopathy (without neurological injuries) constitutes 40% of injury-related death in civilian hospitals and on the battlefield, and the underlying contributing mechanisms remain unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of fibrinogen availability on coagulation function after hemorrhage in pigs. Sixteen crossbred commercial Yorkshire swine were randomized i...

Hemostasis after partial hepatectomy using argon beam coagulation and a concentrated albumin

Background: The argon beam coagulator (ABC) is frequently used to control bleeding on parenchymatous organs during surgery. The purpose of this study was to assess whether it improves the efficacy of hemostasis of using the argon beam coagulation with a concentrated human albumin at partial hepatectomy. Methods: Thirty-two domestic swine were randomized and treated with either conventional argo...
