Anest. intenziv. Med. 2011;22(5):253-259  

Introduction:Thromboelastography (TEG) and standard coagulation tests are carried out at a laboratory temperature of 37 °C, thus omitting the effects of real blood temperature. The aim of this study was comparing the results of kaolin - heparinase TEG and Rapid TEG during mild therapeutic hypothermia i.e. when the blood was analysed at the actual temperature (isothermia) and at 37°C (normothermia). The second aim was to evaluate the clinical relevance of the results and on their basis to determine the necessity to analyse TEG at the actual temperature. Materials and Methods:Thirty patients following CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation),...

Following the withdrawal of the most powerful antifibrinolytic agent aprotinin, attention of the clinical practitioners is focused on tranexamic acid. This article summarizes the beneficial and undesirable effects of tranexamic acid and other antifibrinolytics used in cardiac surgery.
