Point-of-care coagulation testing and transfusion algorithms.
Patients with cardiovascular disease have an array of haemostasis disorders that predispose to the development of thrombotic and embolic disease states. These patients are often maintained on anti-thrombotic medication to prevent adverse cardiovascular events. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery also have haemostatic disorders that include their intrinsic disease state, adjunctive medication, a...
متن کاملPoint of care and factor concentrate-based coagulation algorithms.
In the last years it has become evident that the use of blood products should be reduced whenever possible. There is increasing evidence regarding serious adverse events, including higher mortality and morbidity, related to transfusions. The use of point of care (POC) devices integrated in algorithms is one of the important mechanisms to limit blood product exposure. Any type of algorithm, espe...
متن کاملPoint-of-care coagulation testing: stepping gently forward.
As a specialist in diagnostic coagulation, I am frequently faced with a patient who does not want to drive into Boston to be monitored for warfarin (coumadin) therapy at our anticoagulation clinic. This fact has not been lost on instrument manufacturers, who have produced multiple point-of-care devices for home monitoring of the prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR). The numb...
متن کاملCoagulation and Transfusion Medicine
The routine pretransfusion red blood cell antibody detection test (PADT), performed at the authors' institution, consists of a threephase, saline-antiglobulin technique (immediate spin, 30-minute incubation at 37 °C, IgG indirect antihuman globulin test |IAT|), and each phase is examined for hemolysis and agglutination. To determine if it would be safe to omit reading the 37 °C phase of the PAD...
متن کاملPoint of Care Testing and Transfusion Safety in Resource Limited Settings: A Review
Worldwide, one of the fastest growing aspects of clinical laboratory testing is point of care testing (POCT). Decentralized patient care and access to testing in under-served areas are key elements in the evolving expansion of POCT. Several available POCT devices can potentially contribute to safer transfusion practices in resourcelimited settings. Only "rapid diagnostic tests" and some simple ...
