Each European country has its own unique workforce constellation and practice pattern. Westward migration of anaesthesiologists from those countries with access to the European Union labour market may be explained by substantial salary differences. There is a European-wide lack of systematic, comparable data about the anaesthesia workforce, which makes it difficult to accurately assess the supply of anaesthesiologists.
Background. Platelet count (PLT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and fibrinogen are standard coagulation tests used for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Materials and methods. 83 adult cardiac surgery patients were en rolled into a prospective study. Blood samples for APTT, PT, PLT, fibrino gen were collected preoperatively (T0), on admission to the intensive care unit (T1), 6 and 24 hours postoperatively (T6, T24). 24hour postopera tive blood loss (24hPBL) was registered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
