Summary and Conclusions
-
1.
The streptokinase activated fibrinolysis was studied after operations and deliveries by means of thrombelastography.
-
2.
A shortening of the lysis time was observed during the first hours after operation or delivery, followed by a prolongation, which is maximal during the first 2–3 days. Normal values are reached after 6 to 8 days or more.
-
3.
A linear proportion on a logarithmic basis was found between the various components of the thrombelastogram, and particularly between the lysis time, as measured in two segments (T andF) and the maximal amplitudema.
-
4.
The analogies between the variations of streptokinase activated fibrinolysis after operations and deliveries and other coagulation factors and mechanisms, e. g. platelets, are discussed.
