Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mechanisms of thrombosis in the early stage of electrical injury. METHODS: Endothelin-1(ET-1), prostacylin(PGI2), platelet alpha-granule membrane protein (Gmp-140), thromboxane (TXB2), and plasminogen(PLG-A) were measured in 26 patients with electrical injury. RESULTS: It was found that GMP-140 and ET-1 increased significantly(P < 0.01), PLG-A showed a significant change 2 weeks after the injury, while there was an imbalance between TXB2 and PGI2. CONCLUSION: It is believed that change in one or several mediators mentioned above may trigger thrombosis after electrical injury.
