A quick and reliable determination of the current coagulation is of great importance in the case of pronounced blood loss. The measurement of relevant coagulation parameters in the hospital laboratory usually takes too long for therapy control in an emergency. Method: We have the prothrombin time (PT) and the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) in cardiac and abdominal surgery patients both with a bedside, laser photometric coagulation monitor (OCT) (CoaguChek Plus®, Boehringer Mannheim) and in the central laboratory (LAB) (Thromborel S or Pathromtin, KC 40, Canton). Results: OCT and LAB values ​​correlate highly significantly in the PT and APTT measurements (r…

The prothrombin time is a measure of the blood clotting in the plasma. It is checked before operations (preoperatively) and during treatment with the so-called vitamin K antagonists. The prothrombin time is standardized by formula and given as an INR value (International Normalized Ratio). The higher the INR value, the slower the blood coagulates. What is the prothrombin time? The prothrombin time is a measure of blood clotting. Blood clotting is an essential process in injuries and describes the transition of the blood from a liquid to a solid-state. A network of fibrin (a large protein molecule) is created, which…

Both the manufacturing process of glucose and its degradation are examples of metabolic pathways. A metabolic pathway is a series of connected chemical reactions that feed each other. The pathway takes one or more starter molecules and turns them into products through a series of intermediate molecules. Metabolic pathways can be broadly divided into two categories based on their effects. Photosynthesis, which makes sugars from smaller molecules, is a “building block” or anabolic pathway. In contrast, cellular respiration breaks down sugar into smaller molecules and is a “breakdown” or catabolic pathway. Anabolic Pathway: Small molecules assemble to build larger molecules. This…
