Inhibition of thrombocyte aggregation during extracorporeal lung assist: a case report

Perfusion
Alois PhilippChristof Schmid

Abstract

In extracorporeal lung assist, membrane oxygenators are used to improve gas exchange. Accumulations on the membranes of coagulation end products can increase resistance to blood flow and diffusion distance. Thus, functioning of the system can be impaired and, in extreme cases, lead to malfunction which may necessitate change out of the oxygenator. We describe a method that complements conventional continuous heparinisation with the administration of acetylsalicylic acid to inhibit thrombocyte aggregation.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Blood Coagulation Signaling Pathways

Coagulation is the process by which a blood clot is formed. This process includes both the formation of a platelet plug as well as a cascade of clotting factors resulting in the formation of fibrin strands. Find the latest research on coagulation signaling pathways here.
