Alterations of Blood Clotting With the Use of Sequential Compression Devices on the Lower Limbs

TEGLeg
Start date: August 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to assess possible alteration in coagulation (blood clotting) following treatment with sequential compression devices (SCD) plus low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) as opposed to LMWH alone. The investigators will examine coagulation in the early postoperative period of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery during their stay in our Intensive Care Unit. In addition to common laboratory tests, the investigators will examine coagulation using TEG®, a device which allows a semi-quantitative examination of all phases of coagulation.
