Thrombin Inhibition Is Impaired in Plasma of Sick Neonates
Abstract
ABSTRACT: The sick neomate may develop spontaneous or catheter-related thromboses, which must in part reflect poor regulation of the formation and activities of the coagulation enzyme, thrombin. We hypothesized that the balance between the generation and inhibition of thrombin may differ in sick neonates compared with healthy neonates. Fifty neonates with respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation and 40 healthy neonates were studied …
