Thrombelastography (TEG®): practical considerations on its clinical use in trauma resuscitation
Background Thrombelastography is a laboratorial test that measures viscoelastic changes of the entire clotting process. There is growing interest in its clinical use in trauma resuscitation, particularly for managing acute coagulopathy of

Antithrombin and hypercoagulability in sepsis: insights from thrombelastography? [PDF]
Antithrombin (AT) has been used for over 25 years to successfully treat disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). A four-day AT therapy in patients with DIC in the KyberSept trial has been related to a clear survival benefit in patients not receiving

Platelet activation after presyncope by lower body negative pressure in humans. [PDF]
Central hypovolemia elevates hemostatic activity which is essential for preventing exsanguination after trauma, but platelet activation to central hypovolemia has not been described. We hypothesized that central hypovolemia induced by lower body negative

Abstract Introduction Recent studies have linked trauma patient outcomes to the plasma donor's sex, with premenopausal females associated with improved survival and lower organ failure. Currently, green‐colored plasma (due to oral contraceptive use) is removed from the donor pool. We set out to evaluate the hemostatic potential of green plasma.

Declaring futility after traumatic injury and the burden of failure on the surgeon
Abstract In this edition of the THOR supplement in Transfusion, there are two articles that deal with resuscitation futility and transfusion. In one article, Yazer et al. delve into the details of the studies outlined in this editorial and summarize the literature on the topic of transfusion and futility. The second article by Dr.

The Effect of Aprotinin on Thrombelastography in Vitro [PDF]
The effect of low dose (50 KIU/ml) and high dose (200 KIU/ml) aprotinin on standard thrombelastographic variables (r, K, α, MA) was examined in vitro using blood from forty ASA Class I patients. Both concentrations of aprotinin resulted in minor increases in r time above the normal range (P<0.05).

The impact of rapid infusers on the hemostatic potential of cryoprecipitate products
Abstract Background In cases of massive transfusion, intravenous access can be limited. Additionally, delivering different products through separate lines and infusion methods adds unnecessary steps. RBC, plasma, and whole blood (WB) are delivered via rapid infusers; cryoprecipitate (CRYO) is infused through separate access and is not approved with ...

Antiplatelet effects of licking an aspirin tablet can be detected by thrombelastography
Aspirin is a cornerstone of treatment in cardiovascular disease. However, individual responses vary and hyporesponsiveness has been associated with poor outcomes following percutaneous intervention.

Pulmonary Embolism Despite Inferior Vena Cava Filter in a Polytrauma Patient: A Case Report
Case A 39‐year‐old female with Factor V Leiden sustained multiple injuries following a motor‐vehicle collision. A prophylactic inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) was placed prior to fixation of her ipsilateral intertrochanteric and diaphyseal femur fractures the morning after admission. She developed a pulmonary embolism (PE) on postinjury Day 3.
