Kaolin-activated thromboelastography in echocardiographically normal cats.
OBJECTIVE To determine reference values for kaolin-activated thromboelastography in echocardiographically normal cats. ANIMALS 30 healthy cats without evidence of cardiomyopathy on echocardiographic examination. PROCEDURES All cats underwent echocardiographic examination, the findings of which were reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist. Cats that struggled (n = 10) received mild sedati...
متن کامل[Use of thromboelastography and thromboelastometry for the rational and opportune transfusion of hemoderivatives in obstetric hemorrhage].
Obstetric hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality, responsible of 143,000 deaths every year. Thromboelastography is a tool that allows measuring the viscoelastic, dynamic and global properties of the blood, offering valuable information of coagulation alterations and help to guide early goal directed transfusional therapy. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the evidence of ...
متن کاملAssessing platelet and fibrinogen contribution to clot strength using modified thromboelastography in pregnant women.
UNLABELLED The monoclonal antibody fragment c7E3 Fab (ReoPro), by binding to platelet surface fibrinogen receptors (glycoprotein, GPIIb/IIIa), inhibits platelet aggregation and its interaction with fibrinogen. In this study, we used thromboelastography with ReoPro to evaluate the independent contribution of fibrinogen and platelets to clot strength. Thromboelastography was performed in 21 healt...
متن کاملThromboelastography to Monitor Clotting/Bleeding Complications in Patients Treated with the Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System
Background. The Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) has been shown to clear albumin-bound toxins from patients with liver failure but might cause bleeding complications potentially obscuring survival benefits. We hypothesized that monitoring clotting parameters and bed-side thromboelastography allows to reduce bleeding complications. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 25 MARS sessio...
متن کاملTEG® and ROTEM® in trauma: similar test but different results?
INTRODUCTION Transfusion in trauma is often empiric or based on traditional lab tests. Viscoelastic tests such as thromboelastography (TEG®) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) have been proposed as superior to traditional lab tests. Due to the similarities between the two tests, general opinion seems to consider them equivalent with interchangeable interpretations. However, it is not cl...
