Rotational thromboelametry and standard coagulation tests

Rotational thromboelametry and standard coagulation tests for hepatic patients undergoing major liver resection.
K Yassen MD FFARCSI Professor of Anaesthesia Liver Institute, Menoufiya University, Egypt. [email protected] Perioperative coagulopathy • Removal of a considerable hepatic mass during right hepatotomy could reduce the hepatic synthesis of clotting factors resulting in a hypocoagulable state or hypercoagulable • Few studies were designed to investigate coagulation changes in cirrhotic patients undergoing major liver surgery as right hepatotomy. Patients and Methods • 20 cirrhotic patients (CHILD A) were prospectively studied for 10 days. • Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM): EXTEM and INTEM of ROTEM represent extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways respectively. FIBTEM (ROTEM) represents fibrinogen activity. • Standard coagulation tests: Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPPT), fibrinogen and platelets. Demographic Data •

Conclusion • Despite prolonged PT and CT, other ROTEM parameters reflected normal coagulation. • Anticoagulation regimes in hepatic patients
undergoing liver surgery should be encouraged
with ROTEM monitoring. • ROTEM correlated insignificantly with SCTs. • MELD and ROTEM inter‐relationship invites further studies.
