OBJECTIVE: Rotational thronboelastometry (ROTEM) in cardiac surgery was implemented in our centre during 2019. The objectives were to evalúate changes in the administration of blood products and hemostatic drugs, to analyse changes in perioperative complications, economic analysis. METHODS: Single-centr...
RESUMO Este relato de caso detalha um caso grave de febre amarela complicada por insuficiência hepática e coagulação intravascular disseminada. A tromboelastometria foi capaz de identificar os distúrbios da coagulação e orientar o tratamento hemostático. Relatamos o caso de um homem com 23 anos d...
INTRODUCCIÓN: Los exámenes habituales de coagulación evalúan distintos elementos de la hemostasia en forma par cial, y no traducen las interacciones celulares, lo que es especialmente sensible en pacientes críticos. Las técnicas viscoelásticas, como el tromboelastograma (TEG) muestran el proceso ...
Abstract Background and objectives Modern crystalloid and colloid solutions are balanced solutions which are increasingly used in perioperative period. However, studies investigating their negative effect on whole blood coagulation are missing, and vivid debate is going on about which solution has the m...
RESUMO A transfusão de concentrado de plaquetas é prática comum para prevenção de sangramento espontâneo ou decorrente de procedimentos invasivos; sabe-se que a transfusão de componentes alogênicos do sangue se associa a aumento da mortalidade e piora do desfecho clínico. A força do coágulo é...
ABSTRACT Severe hemorrhage with necessity of allogeneic blood transfusion is common complication in intensive care unit and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Prompt recognition and treatment of bleeding causes becomes essential for the effective control of hemorrhage, rationalizing th...
ABSTRACT Perioperative monitoring of coagulation is vital to assess bleeding risks, diagnose deficiencies associated with hemorrhage, and guide hemostatic therapy in major surgical procedures, such as liver transplantation. Routine static tests demand long turnaround time and do not assess platelet funct...
