Comparison of standard coagulation testing with thromboelastometry tests in cardiac surgery [PDF]
Introduction: According to the several evidences, using thromboelastometry as a point of care test can be effective in reduction in blood loss and transfusion requirements in cardiac surgeries.

A case of falsely elevated D-dimer result
Heterophile antibodies can cause interferences in immunometric assays. While many tests are shown to be affected by interference from heterophilic antibodies, the D-dimer test has rarely been reported to be affected. With this case, we report an elevated

Ecarin based coagulation testing [PDF]
AbstractEcarin is derived from venom of Echis carinatus, and will activate prothrombin into meizothrombin which will then cleave fibrinogen to result in clot formation. Ecarin based testing has been described for decades, but these assays were typically restricted to reference or speciality coagulation laboratories.

Limitations of Specific Coagulation Tests for Direct Oral Anticoagulants: A Critical Analysis
Background During treatment with direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), coagulation assessment is required before thrombolysis, surgery, and if anticoagulation reversal is evaluated.
