Global tests of haemostasis in critically ill patients with severe sepsis syndrome compared to controls

Global tests of haemostasis in critically ill patients with severe sepsis syndrome compared to controls

Summary Haemostatic changes in septic patients are complex, with both procoagulant and anticoagulant changes. Thirty‐eight patients with severe sepsis and 32 controls were investigated by coagulation screens, individual factor assays, calibrated automated thrombography (CAT), whole blood low‐dose‐ti...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Haemostatic changes in septic patients are complex, with both procoagulant and anticoagulant changes. Thirty‐eight patients with severe sepsis and 32 controls were investigated by coagulation screens, individual factor assays, calibrated automated thrombography (CAT), whole blood low‐dose‐tissue factor activated (LD‐TFA) Rotem and LD‐TFA waveform analysis. Thirty‐six of 38 patients had an abnormal coagulation screen. The mean levels of factors II, V (P
