[Evaluation of the blood coagulating system in acute gastroduodenal hemorrhages by thromboelastographic data].

Coagulation properties were studied thromboelastographically in 76 patients with acute gastroduodenal hemorrhages due to ulcerous disease of the stomach and duodenum, hemorrhagic gastritis and Mallory-Weiss syndrome. A certain regularity was revealed, i. e. the more profuse the hemorrhage the more frequent hypocoagulation associated with high fibrinolysis rate. With this in view transfusion therapy should be aimed not only at the replacement of circulary blood bolume but also at the suppression of high fibrinolytic activity of blood.
