Abstract

The usual preoperative laboratory analyses of hemostasis are discussed including the medical and legal prerequisites. Most important are the values for thrombocytes, PTT and Quick. History and clinical examination (Rumpel-Leede-Test) are also necessary to exclude haemorrhagic diatheses. Further investigations are only needed in rare haemorrhagic diseases.

[Recurrent hematomas and normal standard hemostasis tests].

The authors report the case of a 22-month-old boy experiencing a voluminous subcutaneous haematoma, 72 hours after a head trauma. Two subsequent drainages of this haematoma were required because of its recurrence. The child, whose parents had blood relations, suffered from recurrent bleeding since his birth. A standard haemostasis assessment including prothrombin time, activated partial thrombopiastin time, bleeding time, concentration of fibrinogen and platelet count was unremarkable. Therefore, coagulation factors were explored. An inherited factor XIII deficiency (less than 2%) was recognized. A new drain was inserted, after administration of factor XIII concentrate. The time course of the haematoma was favourable. After discharge, the prophylactic therapy consisted of an injection of factor XIII concentrate (50 Ul.kg-1) every 5 weeks.
