The objective: to evaluate the standard indicators of thromboelastometry in pregnant women with placental dysfunction. Materials and methods. Venous blood samples 26 healthy (control group) 50 patients dysfunction (main group, persons 19–40 years old) were examined. average gestation period at time study was 29.5±7.2 32.9±4.4 weeks, respectively. Standard coagulation tests (coagulogram) rotatio...

Introduction: Targeting factor XII (FXII) is a new concept for safe thrombosis prophylaxis. Global hemostasis tests offer promise in terms of the laboratory monitoring FXII inhibition. The present study examines selected parameters rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) patients with deficiency. objective this was to assess impact deficiency on ROTEM, which can be significant Material and method...

OBJECTIVES In the present study, the authors have investigated whether rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) could predict thrombocytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia in cardiac surgery using the clot amplitude after 5 minutes (A5). Another parameter, PLTEM, in which the contribution of fibrinogen is eliminated by subtracting a fibrin-specific ROTEM test (FIBTEM) from an extrinsically-activated ROT...

INTRODUCTION In the settings of trauma, liver transplantation and major surgery multifactorial coagulopathies are frequently encountered. The treatment of acutely bleeding patients is critically compromised by monitoring with standard available routine coagulation tests. In contrast to conventional tests, rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) provides an automated measurement of interactive dyn...
