The value of thromboelastography in evaluating the efficacy of Xueshuantong combined with edaravone in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction

Abstract

To explore the value of thromboelastography (TEG) in evaluating the efficacy of Xueshuantong combined with edaravone for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction (ACI). We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 96 patients with ACI treated with Xueshuantong combined with edaravone and monitored by TEG. The correlation between the results of TEG examination and treatment outcomes in patients after treatment was analyzed. After treatment, 65 of 96 patients showed good efficacy and 31 had poor efficacy. kinetic time (KT), reaction time (RT), and the percentage of clot lysis at 30 minutes after Ma value (LY30) of patients with good therapeutic effects were significantly higher than those with poor therapeutic effects; However, maximum amplitude (MA) and coagulation index (CI) were significantly lower than those with poor efficacy (P < .05). There was a significant positive correlation between KT, RT, and LY30 and the therapeutic effect of ACI, and a significant negative correlation between the therapeutic effects of MA, CI, and ACI (P < .05). Logistic analysis confirmed that KT, RT, and LY30 were protective factors for the therapeutic effect of ACI; MA and CI were risk factors for the therapeutic effect of ACI (P < .05). TEG has a high value in evaluating the efficacy of Xueshuantong combined with edaravone in the treatment of ACI. It can clarify changes in the coagulation function of patients, thereby guiding clinical follow-up treatment.
