Abstract
Coagulation and haemostasis in critical ill patients, either in massively bleeding patients in the emergency room and the operating theatre (TIC = trauma induced coagulopathy) or in septic patients suffering from multiorgan failure (DIC = disseminated intravascular coagulopathy) have to be identified and monitored promptly to initiate and monitor an effective therapy - either aggressive therapy using coagulation factor concentrates and blood products or a keen anticoagulation. Under this circumstances, standard coagulation monitoring using PT (INR), aPTT and fibrinogen (Clauss method) is limited. In critical ill patients, these parameters are neither able to predict risk of bleeding nor the risk of thrombosis. New viscoelastic methods like the ROTEM® may help to improve coagulation monitoring and management even in the emergency situation or under critical care conditions.

Почему это важно для гирудотерапии
This article discusses the limitations of standard coagulation tests—PT (INR), aPTT, and fibrinogen by the Clauss method—in critically ill patients, noting that these parameters are neither able to predict risk of bleeding nor risk of thrombosis in massively bleeding or septic patients. The abstract states that new viscoelastic methods like ROTEM® may help improve coagulation monitoring and management in emergency situations and critical care conditions. The article addresses coagulation monitoring in trauma-induced coagulopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. The abstract contains no mention of leeches, hirudotherapy, hirudin, or the leech secretome, so any relevance to the American Society of Hirudotherapy is not supported by this article's content.
