Thromboelastography in the assessment of coagulation changes in peripheral vascular disease
… patients with peripheral vascular disease using Thromboelastography (TEG), a technique which exploits the visco-elastic properties of a blood clot as it forms, retracts or lyses (breaks down) using a small volume of whole blood. Validation of TEG technique employing citrated whole blood (CWB) and …

The impact of thromboelastography on patients with penetrating abdominal trauma requiring intensive care
… rates in severely injured trauma patients. Thromboelastography (TEG) is an effective test to detect TIC which assists in instituting goal directed therapy as part of damage control resuscitation. Methods This retrospective study included all adult patients over a 36-month period with …

A Prospective, Descriptive Study Evaluating The Evolution Of Covid-19 Associated Coagulopathy In Mechanically Ventilated, Critically-Ill Patients Using Standard Laboratory Coagulation Studies And Thromboelastography
… patients. We aimed to perform serial thromboelastography (TEG) and laboratory coagulation studies on critically-ill patients with COVID-19 over a 14-day period, comparing variables in 30-day survivors with those in non-survivors. Design: Prospective. Setting: Intensive care unit (ICU) …

Coagulation in the HIV-positive pregnant patient: A thromboelastographic study
… cross-sectional observational study, using thromboelastography, comparing the coagulation status of HIV negative and -positive women with no other comorbidities, in pregnancy at term. A blood sample was taken immediately prior to spinal anaesthesia, and thromboelastography was performed …

Drug eluting electrospun scaffolds for tissue regeneration
… in vitro, followed by thrombogenicity (thromboelastography) and cytotoxicity (cell viability) assessments of modified/unmodified heparin prior to incorporation and after elution. Finally, in vivo responses were evaluated in a subcutaneous model (24 rats) for up to 12 weeks. Porosity was …

The Effects of Prednisone and Prednisone Plus Ultralow-dose Aspirin on Coagulation Parameters in Healthy Dogs
… and to determine intra-individual variation in thromboelastography (TEG). Animals: 14 healthy experimental dogs and 10 healthy client-owned dogs Procedures: Prospective, randomized, blinded study. TEG was performed twice three days apart on each experimental dog prior to treatment and …

Improving the peri-operative management of patients undergoing free tissue transfer for head and neck malignancy
… to ensure adequate response, in combination with thromboelastography to identify patients most at risk of thrombotic flap complications. This thesis has made original contributions to the literature in the peri-operative management of patients undergoing free tissue transfer following ablative …

A comparative study of ROTEM-EXTEM results obtained from EDTA-treated whole blood samples and Sodium Citrate-treated whole blood samples in healthy volunteers
… suitable time for laboratory testing. Rotational thromboelastography is usually performed on a blood sample that has been anticoagulated with sodium citrate and then recalcified immediately prior to testing. In our institution we have had shortages of citrated Vacutainer® sample tubes. The use of …

Coagulopathy in severe, isolated traumatic brain injury: A prevalence study
… platelets count, sodium, potassium, urea and thromboelastography (TEG) on all patients at 12 hours (±3 hours), 36 hours (±3 hours) and eligible patients at 60 hours (±3 hours) post injury. Coagulopathy was defined as any one of the following: platelet count<120 x 109/L, INR>1.2, PTT>37 …

Effect of a histidine-tryptophane-ketoglutarate solution on coagulation as measured by a thromboelastogram
… effect on coagulation was assessed by means of thromboelastography run on the native blood and each dilution separately. Results: The difference in the magnitude of change from baseline in r-time between the HTK solution and Saint Thomas' solution (mean difference 0.49 min) (p 0.014) was …

Assessing gene expression of coagulation factors and Factor XIII polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
… compared to controls (n=100). Methodology: Thromboelastography (TEG) was used to assess the viscoelastic properties of pre-selected clot parameters. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to assess mRNA levels of key coagulation factors (factor XIII-A, factor XII and tissue factor). …

An observational study to assess coagulation abnormalities in patients with elevated levels of urea and/or creatinine secondary to renal failure, presenting for renal biopsy – challenging conventional testing using visco-elastic testing
… assess these disorders of coagulation. Thromboelastography (TEG®) has proven to be a suitable alternative test of coagulation that serves as a dynamic test of global coagulation including assessment of thrombus formation as well as its breakdown. TEG® and ROTEM® assesses the …

Development and characterisation of a heparinised fibrin hydrogel as a delivery vehicle for regenerative medicine
… for the duration of analysis (2 hours) with thromboelastography, as compared to whole blood, fibrinogen, and FP which formed clots within 1.4 ± 0.1, 1.5, and 1.3 ± 0.1 min respectively. All the hydrogels were biocompatible, with viability percentages not less than 70% after three days of 3D …
