For evaluating the clinical effectiveness of thrombocyte substitution, the resonance thrombogram was registered before and after thrombocyte substitution in 50 patients with acute leukemia and the increase of thrombocytes (corrected increment) determined. Thrombocyte substitution led to a significant diminution of the platelet amplitude (p less than 0.01) and platelet value. The highest value of these alterations of parameters was reached 1 hour after transfusion, it was somewhat lower after 24 hours, yet the initial value was not reached again. Correlations could be found to exist between the platelet amplitude and the corrected thrombocyte increase 1 hour and 24 hours after transfusion. The resonance thrombography enables the successful control of thrombocyte substitution to be made and it is suitable for monitoring hemostasis in severe thrombocytopenia due to production.
