Brief summary

Prospective, observational study aimed to investigate the specific hemostatic alterations in patients undergoing glial tumor resection.

Detailed description

Brain parenchyma express tissue factor and other coagulation factors in high concentrations. In addition, neuro critical patients (NCP) may present platelet dysfunction, hyperfibrinolysis, hypo coagulation and / or hyper coagulation status, early after the injury. It is not known whether these alterations of hemostasis are due to a specific brain response to aggression, or they are included into a systemic response. This prospective, observational study is aimed to investigate the coagulation disorders specifically associated with cerebral aggression. This is a prospective, cohort study including (calculated sample size) a study group of patients undergoing elective surgery (glial tumors) and other one undergoing colo rectal surgery. Alterations of the hemostasis will be evaluated by clotting tests, thromboelastometry and tests for platelet function. Samples will be drawn before and after surgical procedures. Multiple statistical comparisons intra and inter groups will be performed.

Interventions

PROCEDUREExposure to glioma resection surgery

The following blood samples will be drawn for hemostasis evaluation: 1. Conventional clotting tests, 2. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), including EXTEM and FIBTEM; 3. Platelet function as assessed by PFA-200 for; and 4. Platelet function as assessed by ara-tem, adp-tem and trap-tem. All the analyses will be performed before (within a period 24-h before surgery) and after (within of the following periods: 2 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery).

PROCEDUREExposure to colon resection surgery

The following blood samples will be drawn for hemostasis evaluation: 1. Conventional clotting tests, 2. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), including EXTEM and FIBTEM; 3. Platelet function as assessed by PFA-200 for; and 4. Platelet function as assessed by ara-tem, adp-tem and trap-tem. All the analyses will be performed before (within a period 24-h before surgery) and after (within of the following periods: 2 h, 24 h and 48 h after surgery).
