Thrombelastography prevents deep venous thrombosis in the perioperative period of arthroplasty replacement / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of thrombelastography ( TEG ) monitoring on anticoagulation therapy in deep vein thrombosis ( DVT ) in the perioperative period of arthroplasty replacement through dynamic detecting of TEG.Methods 60 patients under went total knee arthroplasty ( TKA) were selected as the patient group from 2011 to 2013, Including 22 men and, 38 women, aging from 50 to 74 years old.These patients were divided into low molecular weight heparin ( LMWH ) group and rivaroxaban group according to random number table.Each group had 30 cases.Patients in both were all given routine dose anticoagulant drugs to prevent DVT.Other treatment were the same as conventional therapy for both group patients.Meannhile, 42 health examination participants were selected as the control group, 24 men and 18 women, aging from 45 to 75 years old.The parameters of TEG were measured by TEG@5000 thromboelastograph hemostasis system ( American Haemoscope Corporation).DVT was diagnosed by LOGIQ 7 color Doppler ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus of American GE Corporation. Data were analyzed by SPSS17.0.The predictive value of TEG on DVT was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic cure (ROC),sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV). Results Abnormal detection rates of Angle,MA,CI in rivaroxaban group(36.7%,46.7%,36.7%) were higher than LMWH group ( 10.0%, 20.0%, 13.3%) , and the differences between both groups all had statistical significance between both group(χ2 =5.963,P=0.015;χ2 =4.800,P=0.028;χ2 =4.356,P=0.037).CI , MA and Angle had better clinical diagnostic value on DVT.Their sensitivity was 75.0%, 75.0% and 62.5%, specificity respectively was 80.8%, 76.9%and 78.8%respectively.MA=68.35 mm could be the best clinical diagnosis of critical point on DVT at anticoagulation treatment endpoint.Conclusion TEG can monitor coagulation state of TKA patients, TEG′R can evaluate the safety and effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy on DVT.(Chin J Lab Med, 2015, 38333-336)
