Abstract

Blood clotting disorders and embolisms are more common in COVID-19 patients. At the Clinic for Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Therapy at the Frankfurt University Hospital, researchers are investigating which coagulation factors COVID-19 affects and how these findings can improve therapy. With the help of material resources from the Goethe Corona Fund, the complex special coagulation diagnostics can and could already be supported. "Up to a third of seriously ill COVID-19 patients develop embolisms. However, the causes of the higher risk of thrombosis and embolism are not yet known. We want to clarify this with the support of the Goethe Corona Fund in order to optimize our therapy strategies and to support the patients in the healing process in the best possible way. "
