Infection by SARS-CoV-2 is associated with a high risk of thrombosis. The laboratory
documentation of hypercoagulability and impaired fibrinolysis remains a challenge. Our aim …

Platelets have been shown to be associated with pathophysiological processes beyond
thrombosis, demonstrating critical additional roles in homeostatic processes, such as …

Patients who suffer from inherited or acquired thrombocytopenia can be also affected by
platelet function defects, which potentially increase the risk of severe and life-threatening …

Background Thromboelastography (TEG) is used for real-time determination of hemostatic
status in patients with acute risk of bleeding. Thrombin is thought to drive clotting in TEG …

Coagulopathy is a known sequela of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and can lead to increased
morbidity and mortality. Platelet dysfunction has been identified as one of several etiologies …

Purpose Severe heatstroke is often complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation
(DIC). The aim of this study was to evaluate platelet function assessed through …

Platelet function tests are essential to profile platelet dysfunction and dysregulation in
hemostasis and thrombosis. Clinically they provide critical guidance to the patient …

Objectives Viscoelastic tests allow a reduction in blood product transfusion. Three modern
devices are currently available (rotational thromboelastometry [ROTEM] sigma …

Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), alongside percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is
central to the prevention of ischemic events following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) …

Background Patients with tumors generally present with accompanying activation of the
coagulation system, which may be related to tumor stage. To our knowledge, few studies …
