Aim Of The Study: To assess the changes of hemocoagulative parametres induced by ICP from the view of posssible affection of the hemostasis. SEATING: Department of Obstet. Gynecol. 2nd Medical School Charles University and Teaching Hospital Motol, Prague, Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion Prague.

Methodology: 20 blood samples of the pregnant with severe signs of ICP underwent the precise hemocoagulative analysis. The control group was composed from 12 women with physiological course of pregnancy comparable in terms of gestational week, age and parity.

Results: The routine hemocoagulative tests did show any statistical significant difference between both groups of examined women. The statisticaly significant elevation was found in women with ICP in factor VIII (fVIII:C), vWf and in the serum levels of fibrinogen. The elevated levels of fibrinogen did not influence the function of platelets and even the analysis of fibrinogen itself did not show any significant differences. Clinically assessed peripartal blood loss did not deviate from average of loss during the spontaneous labor of healthy women.

Conclusions: The changes in hemocoagulative parametres in patients with ICP do not increase the risk of thromboembolic events during pregnancy and labor. We also did not approve the risk of the higher peripartal blood loss in these patinets.

Basic Principles of Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and the Role of ROTEM-Guided Fibrinogen Replacement Therapy in the Management of Coagulopathies.

Diagnostics (Basel)

Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is a viscoelastic method, which provides a graphical and numerical representation of induced hemostasis in whole blood samples. Its ability to quickly assess the state of hemostasis is used in the management of bleeding from a variety of causes. The separate activation of particular parts of hemocoagulation in INTEM, EXTEM, and FIBTEM tests allows for a more comprehensive and faster evaluation of the missing component of hemostasis followed by targeted therapy.

Fibrinogenolysis in Venom-Induced Consumption Coagulopathy after Snakebites: A Pilot Study.

Toxins (Basel)

August 2022

Department of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Medicine, Toxinology Center, First Medical Faculty, Charles University, General University Hospital, U Nemocnice 499/2, 128 08 Prague, Czech Republic.

Envenomations that are caused by snakebites are mostly accompanied by venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) with defibrination. The clinical course of VICC is well described; however, reports about its detailed effects in the hemocoagulation systems of patients are sparse. In this pilot study, we prospectively analyzed the changes in plasma fibrinogen that were caused by the envenomation of six patients by five non-European snakes.

Objective: It remains unclear whether atrial fibrillation (AF) alone determines systemic changes in hemocoagulation. Our aim was to examine the prothrombin fragment F1+2 and fibrinopeptide A (FPA) as early markers of coagulation activity still in the first twenty-four hours of paroxysmal AF (PAF) and to correlate them with the arrhythmia onset.

Methods: 51 non-anticoagulated patients (26 men, 25 women, aged 59.

The aim of this work was to study the reaction of coagulation hemostasis in response to hypoxia in rats young and mature, exposed to hypoxia in the embryonic, prefetal and fetal stages of prenatal ontogenesis. With the help of some hematological tests, a comparative analysis of blood coagulation indices was performed, both of males and females of experimental and control rats. To assess the general condition of the blood coagulation system, the time of clot formation, the time of plasma recalcification, and the concentration of fibrinogen were determined to assess the final stage.

Although still debated, post-operative modification of hemostasis seems to be less pronounced after laparoscopy compared to open surgery. Antiphospholipid antibodies might play a role in the post-operative thromboembolic risk, although their evaluation in surgical patients has never been performed. Post-operative modification of antiphospholipid antibodies could be related to the surgical approach (laparoscopic or open).
