A new plastic collection tube made of polyethylene terephtalate is suitable for monitoring traditional anticoagulant therapy (oral anticoagulant, unfractionated heparin, and low molecular weight heparin).
To improve the safety of blood collection, plastic tubes have been developed but various interactions with the coagulation system and/or antithrombotic drugs were reported with the first generation of such tubes. The aim of this multicentre study was to compare hemostasis test results measured in evacuated plastic tubes made of polyethylene terephtalate (VenoSafe, Terumo Europe) and in siliconi...
متن کاملEffect of Oral Anticoagulant Therapy on Coagulation Activity and Inflammatory Markers in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Ablation: A Randomized Comparison between Dabigatran and Warfarin
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with inflammatory and hypercoagulability state. Previous studies evaluated the safety and efficacy of dabigatran and warfarin in prevention of thrombothic complications. This study was intended to assess the influence of these drugs on hemostatic and inflammatory markers among patient underwent pulmonary vein ablation. A total of 100 patients with AF w...

متن کاملEffect of 3.2% vs 3.8% sodium citrate concentration on routine coagulation testing.
The effects of 3.2% and 3.8% sodium citrate concentration on the results of routine coagulation assays (prothrombin time [PT] and activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT]) were evaluated by means of two sets of reagents, one responsive and the other nonresponsive. Five groups were entered in the study: healthy volunteers; outpatients receiving stable oral anticoagulant therapy; and hospital...
متن کاملUse of EDTA samples for prothrombin time measurement in patients receiving oral anticoagulants.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Oral anticoagulant therapy is commonly called for in health care. Hitherto sampling for prothrombin time (PT) has been measured on blood collected into a coagulation tube and diluted in citrate solution. Blood samples anticoagulated with EDTA are used for hematologic tests and the same sample could also be available for PT. DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 107 patients ...
