THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ACTIVATED COAGULATION TIME (ACT) MONITORING DURING EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 1988,(2):126-128. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.1988.02.012.
The adequacy of anticoagulation and the precision of portamine neutralization at the conclusion of extracortoreal circulation were studied in 40 patients undergoing open-heart surgery. These patients were monitored by means of activated coagulation time (ACT) to creat a dose-response curve
from which appropriate dose of heparin and portamine was ca-lculated and administered. This study proves that the dose-response curve is a simple and reliable predictor for adequate control of heparin and portamine administration during and after extracorporeal circulation. It is also valuable in the prevention of various pre-opera-tive and post-operative complications commonly encountered in our daily practice
