Hemorrhage
Conditions
Brief summary
Digestive hemorrhage is a common cause of acute hemorrhage in France, and its mortality remains high despite improvement of endoscopy technique and therapeutics. Hemostasis disorders are an important issue in the patient care both in severity diagnostic and therapeutic plan.
Detailed description
Standard technique of coagulation analysis (prothrombin ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen and platelet count) do not provide to guide practitioner in reanimation of hemostatic patients in particular when coagulation defect preexisting to the digestive hemorrhage. In this respect, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the interest of rotative thromboelastometry in the care of patient with digestive hemorrhage and its mortality impact.
Interventions
