  2. Thromboelastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboelastography

    Thromboelastography (TEG) is a method of testing the efficiency of blood coagulation.It is a test mainly used in surgery and anesthesiology, although increasingly used in resuscitations in emergency departments, intensive care units, and labor and delivery suites.

  3. Thromboelastometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thromboelastometry

    The test is started by adding appropriate reagents. The instrument measures and graphically displays the changes in elasticity at all stages of the developing and resolving clot. The typical test temperature is 37 °C, but different temperatures can be selected, e.g. for patients with hypothermia. [7]

  5. Thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombosis

    Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) 'clotting') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system. When a blood vessel (a vein or an artery) is injured, the body uses platelets (thrombocytes) and fibrin to form a blood clot to prevent blood loss ...

  6. Plateletpheresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plateletpheresis

    Blood is drawn from the right arm, platelets are extracted using the machine, and the remaining blood components are returned through the left arm Side effects of the donation of platelets generally fall into three categories: blood pressure changes, problems with vein access, and effects of the anticoagulant on the donor's calcium level.

    [1] [2] Blood thinners may be used to treat or prevent blood clots. [1] The condition affects about 1% of the population. [4] It is more common in women than men and it occurs most commonly between 20 and 50 years of age. [1] The condition was first described in 1818 and the current term "thoracic outlet syndrome" first used in 1956. [2] [6]

  8. Coagulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation

    Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot.It results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
