Abstract

In the course of extensive operations there are disturbances of the turnover-rate because of the activation of the clotting-system. These may equally be demonstrated by simple reproducible and quick global tests as by methods which are expensive and reserved only to special laboratories. By consequent low dosis-heparin-medication hypercoagulability-conditions and reactive hemorrhage complications are prevented and the hemostasis situation is significantly improved. No disturbance of the hemostasis by antithrombin-3-effect of the heparin-application in this dosage can be proved. The results of the examination including quality control and interpretation can be obtained in 30 minutes.
