  1. 1. Användning och nytta med analys av tromboelastografi (TEG) hos sjuka hundar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Klara Huitfeldt; [2018]
    Keywords : tromboelastografi; TEG; hemostas; koagulation; hyperkoagulabilitet; hypokoagulabilitet;

    Abstract : Background: Hemostasis is a complex system involving both cells and soluble factors in plasma. Disruption of this system may lead to either an increased risk of bleeding or an increased risk of thrombosis. The traditional hemostasis test is focused on analyzing a specific part of this system, such as coagulation factors. READ MORE

  3. 2. Investigation of complement inhibition and blood coagulation by using Multiplate® and TEG® analyzer

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kvinnors och barns hälsa

    Author : Linda Lindblad; [2018]
    Keywords : impedance aggregometry; thromboelastography; Eculizumab; C1 inhibitor; Compstatin; OMS721;

    Abstract : The complement system is a long and complicated event of reactions where activation leads to cleavage of different factors and ends with either inflammation or cell lysis.     Recent studies have shown that the complement system and coagulation have some elements in common.

  4. 3. The effect of prophylactic platelet transfusions on point-of-care coagulation parameters in conjunction to central venous catheter insertion—what effect do transfusions have and are they necessary?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Johan Hahr Schoug; [2012]
    Keywords : Platelet; Platelet transfusion; Thromboelastography; Thromboelastometry; Platelet aggregometry; ROTEM; Multiplate; Central venous catheter; CVC; Thrombocytopenia; Coagulation; Thrombocyte; Platelet function; Cancer; Hematological malignancy; Leukemia; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Introduction: Platelet transfusions are often used when thrombocytopenic patients are facing a central venous catheter (CVC) insertion, but their use has been up to debate. Point-of-care devices such as thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and platelet aggregometry (Multiplate) better reflect in vivo haemostasis than routine coagulation tests. READ MORE

  5. 4. The effect of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on different fibrinogen quantification methods in elective neurosurgery.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Läkarutbildningen

    Author : Gustaf Lejonberg; [2012]
    Keywords : hydroxyethyl starch; photometric Clauss; Clauss method; fibrinogen determination; p-fibrinogen; fibrinogen quantification; HES; thromboelastography; thromboelastometry; ROTEM; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Background: Fibrinogen, a plasma protein essential for clot formation, can reach critically low levels during bleeding. The most commonly used method to determine fibrinogen is the photometric Clauss method. READ MORE
