RESUMEN

La tromboelastografía es un método diagnostico de uso relativamente reciente, enfocado a evaluar de forma global la coagulación. Este método ha evolucionado con rapidez hacia el uso frecuente en la clínica, y es de utilidad para la evaluación de coagulopatías y como guía para la intervención; además, se ha encontrado que su implementación rutinaria conlleva la disminución en el uso de transfusión de hemoderivados y, consecuentemente, en los costos y complicaciones asociadas a su administración. Este reporte de casos en pacientes del Hospital Universitario de San Ignacio describe situaciones clínicas alternas a las de uso común, en las cuales el uso de la tromboelastografía aporta un excelente complemento diagnóstico y guía terapéutica en el perioperatorio.

Palabras clave::

SUMMARY

Thromboelastography is a relatively new diagnostic method designed for a global evaluation of coagulation. This method has rapidly evolved and is frequently used in the clinic for the evaluation of coagulopathies and as guide for intervention; furthermore, its routine application on a daily basis reduces the need for transfusion of hemoderivatives, and consequently lessens the costs and complications thereof. This case report of patients from the San Ignacio University Hospital, describes infrequent clinical situations in which the use of thromboelastography provides an excellent diagnostic aid and treatment guide during the perioperative period.

Key Words:
Thrombelastography
blood coagulation
perioperative period
