Table 3. Comparison of whole blood thrombin generation in healthy volunteers and trauma patients.
Healthy Volunteers (n=10) | Trauma patients (n=58) | p value | |
---|---|---|---|
Lag time (min) | 7.0 (6.0-8.0) | 3.8 (2.6-4.9) | <0.001 |
Peak thrombin (nM) | 82.5 (75.2-91.6) | 125.5 (84.4-149.9) | 0.003 |
Time to peak thrombin (min) | 10.5 (9.7-12.2) | 6.6 (4.9-9.2) | <0.001 |
Maximum rate (nM/min) | 21.3 (17.8-26.1) | 42.6 (22.6-63.6) | 0.006 |
ETP (nM.min) | 728 (636-797) | 823 (708-972) | 0.02 |
ETP=endogenous thrombin potential
