Abstract
The activated coagulation time (ACT) is a reliable method of determining the degree of anticoagulation caused by the administration of heparinized saline solutions during long interventional procedures. An automated system that simplifies the determination of the ACT is available and has proved useful in preventing hemostatic complications.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
