    This study investigated thrombotic tendency before surgery using thromboelastography and antithrombin III tests. No single test adequately predicted thrombotic diseases, suggesting a combined approach for high-risk patient detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical laboratory diagnostics
    • Hematology
    • Preoperative assessment

    Background:

    • Thrombotic tendency is a risk factor for surgical patients.
    • Accurate prediction of thrombotic risk is crucial for patient management.
    • Saline infusions prior to surgery may influence thrombotic markers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate laboratory tests for detecting thrombotic tendency in patients undergoing surgery.
    • To assess the efficacy of thromboelastography and antithrombin III assays in predicting thrombotic risk.
    • To determine if a single laboratory test is sufficient for identifying high-risk patients.

    Main Methods:

    • In vitro trial conducted on patients receiving pre-operative saline infusions.
    • Thromboelastography (TEG) performed, measuring reaction time (r), clot formation time (k), and maximum amplitude (MA).

  • Antithrombin III levels assessed using immunological and functional (chromogenic substrate, automated method) assays.

    • Main Results:

    • Analysis of thromboelastography indices (r, k, MA) and antithrombin III levels.
    • Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of individual laboratory tests.
    • No single laboratory test demonstrated sufficient predictive power for thrombotic diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • A combination of laboratory tests may be necessary for comprehensive thrombotic risk assessment.
    • Further research is needed to identify optimal test panels for high-risk surgical patients.
    • Current single-test methodologies are insufficient for predicting thrombotic events in this cohort.
