Autoprothrombin II activity develops when prothrombin preparations of human origin are activated with purified thrombin at pH 8.2. Early during the activation an inhibitor seems to form. Concentrates of the autoprothrombin II can replace serum in the thromboplastin generation test provided platelets are used in the test, but not if a soy bean phosphatide is used. Dogs were given Coumadin in doses that lowered their own autoprothrombin concentration practically to zero. Then while continuing with use of the drug some purified autoprothrombin II was infused intravenously. This was tolerated very well. The autoprothrombin II concentration stayed at normal for 7 hr. In 24 hr none remained. The infusion was also followed by a shortening of the whole blood clotting time.

Heparin levels and ACT were followed during open heart surgery in lo patients. Heparin was assayed by an amidolytic method using substrate S-2222. ACT was determined with an automated method using celite and glass beads as activators of coagulation. Neither the hemodilution nor the depletion of platelets observed during extracorporeal circulation seemed to influence the ACT. An excellent correlation between the ACT and the actual heparin level was found in each patient with coefficients of correlation ranging from 0.73 – 0.97. A slightly better correlation was noticed for values of ACT below 600 seconds. It was concluded that the ACT is a valuable and reliable tool in control of heparinisation during open heart surgery.

Blood Clotting Time

In a case of homozygous dysfibrinogenemia, the whole blood clotting time was moderately prolonged, while the thrombin clotting time was infinite, whatever dose or nature of thrombin used. Besides, the bleeding syndrome in this case was very weak.We observed also that only after trisodium citrate addition to purified fibrinogen, the abnormal fibrinogen became unclottable by thrombin even after addition of calcium chloride, since without trisodium citrate thrombin time was only prolonged.By immunoelectrophoresis and by isofocusing in the presence or in the absence of trisodium citrate, we therefore undertook to show that trisodium citrate reacts more strongly with the abnormal fibrinogen than with normal one. Thus, trisodium citrate conferring a negative charge to the pathological molecule, the abnormal fibrinogen became resistant to clotting with thrombin. Protamine sulfate, by positiving the charges of fibrinogen, partially corrects the defect in fibrin formation.

Phosvitin, a phosphoprotein isolated from the vitellin of egg yolk, prolonged the whole blood clotting time in the chicken blood in vitro. The degree of phosvitin's inhibition of coagulation was inversely related to the level of egg-yolk-like material in plasma induced by estrogen.

Venom-induced consumption coagulopathy is the most important systemic effect of snake envenoming. Coagulation tests are helpful to accurately and promptly diagnose venom-induced consumption coagulopathy and administer antivenom, which is the only specific treatment available. However, bedside clotting tests play a major role in diagnosing coagulopathy in low-income settings, where the majority of snakebites occur. We conducted a literature search in MEDLINE® from 1946 to 30 November 2019, looking for research articles describing clinical studies on bedside coagulation tests in snakebite patients. Out of 442 articles identified, 147 articles describing bedside clotting assays were included in the review. Three main bedside clotting tests were identified, namely the Lee–White clotting test, 20-min whole blood clotting time and venous clotting time. Although the original Lee–White clotting test has never been validated for snake envenoming, a recently validated version has been used in some South American countries. The 20-min whole blood clotting time test is the most commonly used test in a wide range of settings and for taxonomically diverse snake species. Venous clotting time is almost exclusively used in Thailand. Many validation studies have methodological limitations, including small sample size, lack of case-authentication, the inclusion of a heterogeneous mix of snakebites and inappropriate uses of gold standard tests. The observation times for bedside clotting tests were arbitrary, without proper scientific justification. Future research needs to focus on improving the existing 20-min whole blood clotting test, and also on looking for alternative bedside coagulation tests which are cheap, reliable and quicker.
