Objective: To determine the accuracy of coagulation profile laboratory tests,
thromboelastography, and Sonoclot (SCT) values for predicting microvascular bleeding after …

OBJECTIVE:: The study's objective was to determine the prothrombin time (PT) and
activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) values that differentiated normal from …

Background Excessive bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is risk factor for
adverse outcomes after elective cardiac surgery (ECS). Although many different point-of …

Intraoperative capabilities to rapidly assess coagulation status following cardiopulmonary
bypass (CPB) may be of benefit in providing optimal hemostasis and transfusion …

This study was conducted to evaluate two methods of determining the “therapeutic range” of
the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) during unfractionated heparin treatment …

Due to the contributions of various disciplines that have elucidated the molecular
mechanisms involved in the physiologic regulation and pathologic alterations of the …

Avoidance of over-or underheparinization during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is crucial
in preventing bleeding or clotting. Currently no completely satisfactory method is available …

A non-clotting and non-instrumentally based heparin assay was developed. This was
achieved by studying the immobilization of protamine (a heparin antidote) on a porous filter …

Background: Excessive bleeding after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is risk factor for
adverse outcomes after elective cardiac surgery (ECS). Although many different point-of …

The main purpose of heparinization in continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH) is to
prevent the hemofilter from clotting without having to systemically anticoagulate the patient …
