TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - Chromogenic peptide substrate assays in patients with multiple trauma JO - Acta chirurgica Scandinavica Supplementum A1 - Kierulf, P. A1 - Aasen, A. O. A1 - Aune, S.

SP - 69 EP - 72 VL - 509 IS - N2 - Daily monitoring of the plasma proteolytic enzyme systems i.e. the coagulation, the fibrinolytic and the kallikrein-kinin system in multitraumatized patients with chromogenic substrate assays disclosed significant differences in the levels of Prekallikrein, Hageman Factor, Antithrombin-III, Prothrombin in survivors (N = 9) and fatal cases (N = 6) during the first week after admission. Since chromogenic peptide substrate assays are simple, cheap and easily automated, close monitoring of critical care patients may be rewarding.
