Abstract
Patients with critical illness often display variable hypo- and hypercoagulable sequalae requiring intense monitoring and anticoagulation pharmacotherapy to prevent or treat inappropriate clot formation. It is imperative to understand the various stages of the clotting cascade and where each pharmacotherapy agent exerts its therapeutic effect. Common coagulation tests are utilized to monitor the areas of the clotting cascade and the effects that anticoagulant pharmacotherapy exhibits. Many novel coagulation tests are also in development. The purpose of this narrative review is to evaluate commonly utilized coagulation tests that monitor anticoagulation while in the intensive care unit.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
