Coagulation Point-of-Care Testing

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2001
With PT point-of-care devices, further study is needed to fully evaluate the safety and efficacy regarding home self-monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy. Point-of-care PTT testing is also undergoing evaluation. In contrast, the ACT is commonly in use, despite its limitations, at least partly because of the lack of a readily available, inexpensive ...

Sample stability for routine coagulation testing

Thrombosis Research, 2020
Coagulation testing represents common investigative tools for various clinical indications. Laboratories need to ensure testing is accurate; thus, sample stability becomes a critical factor. There is some general guidance available around sample stability, dependent on how specimens are stored. We provide here some personal evidence.

Serial viscoelastic and traditional coagulation testing in horses with gastrointestinal disease.

Journal of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care, 2013
OBJECTIVE Objectives of this study were to compare the ability of serial thromboelastography, Sonoclot, and traditional coagulation panels to detect coagulopathies associated with disease category, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS ...

Eosinophilia and first-line coagulation testing

Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis, 2008
Although eosinophilia (eosinophil count >0.60 x 10(9)/l), is a prothrombotic condition, little is known on the association between eosinophil count in blood and first-line coagulations tests, including fibrinogen, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and platelet count. Cumulative results of APTT, PT, fibrinogen, platelet

Tests for Blood Coagulation

1976
This chapter presents the tests for blood coagulation. To study patients thought to be suffering from blood clotting defects, various tests may be carried out. The simplest of these are the platelet count, bleeding time, whole blood clotting time, and Quick's one-stage prothrombin time.

The effects of transport by car on coagulation tests

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2017
AbstractBackground:This research investigated the effects of the transport of blood samples between centers/laboratories by car on coagulation tests.Methods:Five tubes of blood samples were taken from 20 healthy volunteers. The samples consisted of a baseline (control) group, centrifuged and noncentrifuged transported samples; centrifuged and ...

Coagulation Testing and Transfusion Medicine

2007
Transfusion Services are presented with many challenging coagulation problems. Most cases gain attention when out of the ordinary requests for blood products are received. The Transfusion Medicine Physician is often brought into a clinical scenario that has already become an emergency and quick response is imperative [1–8].

Point-of-Care Testing in Coagulation

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2009
Point-of-care (POC) assays are available for a variety of coagulation tests. These assays are generally simple to perform and have a more rapid turnaround time than their central-laboratory counterparts. This article discusses the current status of coagulation POC methodologies, focusing on the potential clinical uses and the limitations of platelet ...

Viscoelastic coagulation testing: technology, applications, and limitations.

Veterinary clinical pathology, 2011
Use of viscoelastic point-of-care (POC) coagulation instrumentation is relatively new to veterinary medicine. In human medicine, this technology has recently undergone resurgence owing to its capacity to detect hypercoagulability.

Pre-analytical Variables in Coagulation Testing Associated With Diagnostic Errors in Hemostasis

, 2012
The use of modern laboratory instrumentation with high levels of test reliability and appropriate quality assurance measures will lead to very few analytical errors within hemostasis testing.
