acetylsalicylic acid/hemorrhage

BACKGROUND The risk of intracerebral hemorrhage in systemic thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke after acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) pretreatment or with subsequent heparin is controversially discussed. METHODS 300 consecutive stroke patients were treated with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen

The present study investigated whether there is a statistically significant correlation between platelet aggregation inhibition (TAI) and prolongation of subaqueous bleeding time (SBT) under therapy with 40 mg (n = 20) and 500 mg (n = 20) acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) daily and when parameters return

OBJECTIVE To determine the main factors for perioperative mediastinal bleeding during coronary artery by-pass grafting and to establish the role of acetylsalicylic acid, other inhibitors of platelet adhesion, and anticoagulants in its occurrence. METHODS A multivariate analysis was performed to the

OBJECTIVE Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement is a common procedure for the treatment of hydrocephalus following diverse neurosurgical conditions. Most of the patients present with other comorbidities and receive antiplatelet therapy, usually acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Despite its clinical

BACKGROUND The use of antithrombotic drugs (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) has been reported to increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS) relative to no treatment. This study was performed to characterize the incidence and predictors of HS in users of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for the

BACKGROUND Hip fracture is associated with high mortality. Cardiovascular disease and other comorbidities requiring long-term anticoagulant medication are common in these mostly elderly patients. The objective of our observational cohort study of patients undergoing surgery for hip fracture was to

BACKGROUND Anticoagulants and/or antiplatelet agents such as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) are important in prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events, but may be associated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). However, discontinuing these agents may leave patients at risk of CV

OBJECTIVE Demographic changes are leading to an aging society with a growing number of patients with cardiovascular diseases, relying on antiplatelet drugs like acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Although antiplatelet agents are suspected to be protective not only in the cardiologic but in the

Patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty should receive anticoagulant therapy because of the high risk of venous thromboembolism. However, many are already taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) that can have antihaemostatic effects. We assessed

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) is a well-known and widely used analgesic for acute pain. Patients with acute headache due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are inclined to take ASA in this situation. Due to the antithrombotic effects, ASA intake is related to higher bleeding rates in case of hemorrhage

The Simplate II technique for measuring bleeding time was adapted to quantify the volume of blood as a function of time and for determining how this parameter was affected by either acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or a dietary supplement of fish. Both increased the bleeding time significantly.

The influence of one week's treatment of fluproquazone, 300 mg daily, and acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin, Bayer), 3000 mg daily, on the gastro-intestinal tract and coagulation factors was compared in a randomized cross-over study in 12 healthy male volunteers. Gastroscopy revealed two acute erosions

Complex formation between salicylic acid and adenosine or adenosine triphosphate in 0.2m phosphate buffer at pH=7 was investigated as a potential factor contributing to the prolongation of acetylsalicylic acid-induced GI blood loss. Spectrophotemetric techniques were used to evalute the

In a prospective randomized clinical study the incidence of post-tonsillectomy haemorrhage was studied in 832 patients receiving either acetylsalicylic acid or paracetamol as postoperative analgesic (423 and 409 patients, respectively). Of 27 patients experiencing 1 or more bleeding episodes

Buffered acetylsalicylic acid (Alka Seltzer, B-ASA) and plain aspirin (P-ASA) tablets were compared as to their effects on bleeding time and platelet function in eight healthy male volunteers. Two doses (500 and 1000 mg) of each preparation were investigated in a cross-over design, each volunteer
