Changes of Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis following Operation

To know the changes of blood coagulation and fibrinolytic activity following surgery, platelet count, prothrombin time (PT), active partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen and fibrin degrading product (FDP) were measured during and after operation. From this studies, the results were obtained as below : 1) The consumption of platelet and fibrinogen occurred immediately during operation and followed with reactive increase of these coaglant factors post-operatively. As the results, hypercoagulability at post-operative period was demonstrated. 2) Concerning the change of fibrinolytic activity,…
