Effects of Cardiac Surgery and Salvaged Blood Transfusion on Coagulation Function Assessed by Thromboelastometry
Salvaged blood transfusion of more than 18.5% whole blood volume may impair coagulation function particularly in patients with lower FIBTEM-MCF before and after cardiac surgery.
The Impact of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor on Coagulation Kinetics Determined by Thrombelastography
Thrombelastography (TEG) is often used to monitor hemostasis in the perioperative period, and TFPI could potentially affect the diagnostic interpretation of TEG-based data, given its inhibition of both common and TF coagulation pathways. Thus, in this study we characterized the effect of TFPI on coagulation kinetics via TEG.
Preoperative Cerebral Ischemic Lesions Predict Physical Health Status After On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
We studied the predictive ability of cerebral magnetic resonance imaging of preoperative and postoperative cerebral ischemic injury on self-reported physical and mental health at 3 months after coronary artery bypass surgery with or without use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
