[State of hemostasis system at transurethral prostatic resection]
Abstract:
Hemostasis system was examined at 58 patients who underwent transurethral prostate resection due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. All the patients were divided into 2 groups: the study group where the surgery was performed under spinal anesthesia, and control - under intravenous anesthesia. The hemostasis system was examined before surgery and on 1st, 3rd and 5th day after it. It is revealed that the surgery under intravenous anesthesia is associated with increase of coagulation potential and decrease of fibrinolytic activity that is the most marked on 3rd and 5th day.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...
