The haemostatic changes in liver disease affect all aspects of coagulation. The prothrombin time (PT)\/international normalized ratio (INR) was developed to monitor oral anticoagulant therapy and the activated partial thromboplastin time to investigate inheritable single factor deficiencies. Viscoelastic tests such as thromboelastogram (TEG) give information about dynamics of clot formation (coagulation factor and anticoagulant activity), clot strength (platelets and fibrinogen) and clot stability (finbrinolysis and factor XIII). Administration of blood products before invasive procedures is still guided by INR and platelet count in patients of liver disease. This study was aimed to evaluate the validity of TEG to predict post-procedural bleed after central venous cannulation in patients with cirrhosis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Ninety patients aged 20-70 yr diagnosed with liver cirrhosis requiring elective central venous catheter (CVC) insertion were studied. Platelet count, INR, serum creatinine, TEG and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score were recorded before the procedure. Right-sided internal jugular vein was cannulated. On the basis of presence or absence of post-procedural bleed, patients were divided into bleeding and non-bleeding groups. The CTP score, component of TEG (R - reaction time, K - coagulation time, MA - maximum amplitude and \u03b1 - angle) and laboratory parameters of both the groups were compared.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Bleeding was seen more when CTP scores were \u226510 (P<\/jats:italic>=0.05). The K time of 3.05 min or more on thromboelastograph was a significant predictor of bleeding [area under the curve (AUC) 0.694, P<\/jats:italic>=0.047]. MA of 48.8 mm or more was a significant predictor of non-bleeding. INR \u22652.6 was a significant predictor of bleeding (AUC 0.765, P<\/jats:italic>=0.005). K time had a low-positive predictive value of 20 per cent and the positive and negative likelihood ratios of 1.87 and 0.48, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Our results show that the cut-off value for INR \u22652.6 and K time \u22653.05 min predict bleeding and MA \u226548.8 mm predicts non-bleeding in patients with cirrhosis undergoing central venous pressure catheter cannulation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijmr.ijmr_749_14","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,29]],"date-time":"2017-05-29T12:31:30Z","timestamp":1496061090000},"page":"84-89","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["K time & maximum amplitude of thromboelastogram predict post-central venous cannulation bleeding in patients with cirrhosis"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"145","author":[{"given":"Chandra K.","family":"Pandey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vandana","family":"Saluja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kumar","family":"Gaurav","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manish","family":"Tandon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vijay K.","family":"Pandey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ajeet S.","family":"Bhadoria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","reference":[{"key":"R1-13-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"878","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2010-02-261891","article-title":"Rebalanced hemostasis in patients with liver disease: Evidence and clinical consequences","volume":"116","author":"Lisman","year":"2010","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"R2-13-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"553","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.20569","article-title":"Evidence of normal thrombin generation in cirrhosis despite abnormal conventional coagulation tests","volume":"41","author":"Tripodi","year":"2005","journal-title":"Hepatology"},{"key":"R3-13-20241212","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1413","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2005.00546.x","article-title":"Transfusion Medicine\/Hemostasis Clinical Trials Network.
