Accuracy of Sonoclot coagulation and platelet function analyzer in monitoring changes of blood coagulation during liver transplantation / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine intra-operative changes in blood coagulation and the applicability of SCA in liver transplantation. Methods Twenty-four patients with end-stage liver disease undergoing or-thotopic Liver transplantation (OLT) were studied. Arterial blood samples were drawn for determination of celite-activated TEG, glass bead-activated SCA and RCT at 6 intervals before anesthesia induction (T0), 60 min after operation was started (T1), 30 miu in anhepatic phase (T2), 30 min in neohepatic phase (T3) ,120 min in neohepatic phase (T4) and the end of the operation (T5) ; the variables of TEG includ-ed reaction time(R) ,coagulation time(K), alpha angles (α) and maximal amplitude (MA) ; the variables of SCA included activated clotting time (ACT), clot rate (CR) and platelet function(PF) ;RCT included Plt, PT, INR, APTT, Fbg. Results The Kappa values of SCA and TEG diagnosing the deficiency of blood coagulation factors, the gel formation speed of fibrin and the function of platelet were respectively 0.371 (P < 0.05) ,0. 363 (P < 0.05) ,0.438 (P < 0.05). gbACT and R, CR and α, PF and MA were positive-ly correlative (r = 0. 790, P < 0.05 ; r = 0. 766, P < 0. 05 ; r = 0. 502, P < 0.05 ; respectively) ; CR and K were negatively correlative(r = -0. 588,P <0.05). Compared with T0, PT, INR, gbACT and R were pro-longed, FBG, CR, α and MA were decreased at T3-5 (P < 0.05). APTT was prolonged at T1 ～ T5 (P < 0.05). K was prolonged at T3 (P < 0.05) and PF was decreased at T2 ～ T4. Conclusion SCA can exactly monitor changes of blood coagulation in liver transplantation.
