  2. 1. Monitoring of coagulation and platelet function in paediatric cardiac surgery

    Author : Birgitta S Romlin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; paediatric cardiac surgery; haemostasis; platelet; coagulation; thromboelastometry; impedance aggregometry; coagulopathy; haemoconcentration;

    Abstract : Abstract Background: Paediatric cardiac surgery has developed dramatically during the last decades. Today, a wide range of patients is operated on-from premature neonates to grown up children with congenital heart disease. Excessive bleeding during and after cardiac surgery is still common, and it is one of the most serious complications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Coagulation in liver failure : the role of thromboelastometry and fibrinogen

    Author : Gabriel Dumitrescu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver failure is undeniably accompanied by distortions of the coagulation system. The modern theory of coagulation in patients with compensated liver disease (acute or chronic) states that the coagulation system is in a rebalanced state, also displaying prothrombotic tendencies particularly towards the end stages.

  5. 3. Fibrinogen, platelet and factor XIII supplementation in cardiac surgery: In vitro and in vivo studies

    Author : Caroline Andersson Shams Hakimi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fibrinogen; platelets; factor XIII; platelet aggregation; clot formation; cardiac surgery;

    Abstract : Background: There is a high risk of bleeding complications in cardiac surgery. Fibrinogen and platelet concentrates are often used to treat perioperative bleeding, but there is little information about its efficacy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Translational studies on mechanical hemostasis and coagulopathy in trauma

    Author : Andreas Brännström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Trauma, in terms of physical injury, is the leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults worldwide. Hemorrhage and coagulation dysfunction are two important causes of preventable deaths after traumatic injuries. READ MORE

  7. 5. Platelet activation and aggregation: Clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Sukhi Singh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Platelet concentrate; Adrenaline; Noradrenaline; Ticagrelor; Platelet aggregation; Platelet activation;

    Abstract : Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and the adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-receptor antagonist ticagrelor increases the risk of bleeding complications during cardiac surgery. The overall aim of this thesis was to identify and evaluate current and potential methods to reduce and prevent bleeding complications in patients with ongoing antiplatelet therapy. READ MORE
