Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of fibrinogen levels on thromboelastometric variables in the presence of thrombocytopenia.
Thomas Lang,Kai Johanning,Helfried Metzler,Siegfried Piepenbrock,Cristina Solomon,Niels Rahe-Meyer,Kenichi A. Tanaka +6 more
TL;DR: Clot strength increases in a fibrinogen concentration-dependent manner independent of platelet count, when analyzed by ROTEM, suggesting that EXTEM® (extrinsic activation) and FIBTEM may be useful in guiding fibr inogen repletion therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibrinogen and hemostasis: a primary hemostatic target for the management of acquired bleeding.
TL;DR: The prospective study of fibrinogen supplementation in acquired bleeding is needed to accurately assess the range of clinical settings in which this management strategy is appropriate, the most effective method of supplementation and a comprehensive safety profile of fibinogen concentrate used for such an approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of standard plasma coagulation tests in the management of perioperative coagulopathic bleeding: is there any evidence?
Thorsten Haas,Dietmar Fries,Kenichi A. Tanaka,Lars M. Asmis,Nicola Curry,Herbert Schöchl,Herbert Schöchl +6 more
TL;DR: There is actually no sound evidence from well-designed studies that confirm the usefulness of SLTs for diagnosis of coagulopathy or to guide haemostatic therapy, and no data from randomized controlled trials support the use ofSLTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bleeding, Transfusion, and Mortality on Extracorporeal Life Support: ECLS Working Group on Thrombosis and Hemostasis
Michael A. Mazzeffi,John C. Greenwood,Kenichi A. Tanaka,Jay Menaker,Raymond Rector,Daniel Herr,Zachary Kon,Joy Lee,Bartley P. Griffith,Keshava Rajagopal,Si M. Pham +10 more
TL;DR: Bleeding and red blood cell transfusion occur frequently during adult extracorporeal life support, but only the amount of red bloodcell transfusion is associated with inhospital mortality after controlling for confounding variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thromboelastometry-guided intraoperative haemostatic management reduces bleeding and red cell transfusion after paediatric cardiac surgery
Yoshinobu Nakayama,Yasufumi Nakajima,Kenichi A. Tanaka,Daniel I. Sessler,S. Maeda,J. Iida,Satoru Ogawa,Toshiki Mizobe +7 more
TL;DR: Rotational thromboelastometry-guided early haemostatic intervention by rapid intraoperative correction of EXTEM-A10 and FIBTEM- a10 reduced blood loss and red cell transfusion requirements after CPB, and reduced critical care duration in paediatric cardiac surgical patients.
