Are in vivo bleeding time and in vitro thrombelastography measurements better indicators of dilutional hypothermic coagulopathy than prothrombin time?
Although satisfactory in warfarin-induced coagulopathy, PT was not a valid screening test for dilutional and hypothermic coagulopathy. BT and TEG measurements of blood clotting rate are better indicators of coagulopathic bleeding and mortality in this lethal hemorrhage model.
Linguistically, pro-anorexics and recovering anorexics engage in distinct psychological self-presentation styles. More research is needed to understand the clinical implications of these different linguistic styles.
