The significance of immature granulocytes in diagnostic of infectious inflammatory processes in cardiosurgery patients

Abstract The evaluation was implemented concerning the values of automated parameter "immature granulocytes" in cardiosurgery patients. It is demonstrated that amount of immature granulocytes in peripheral blood exceeding 2% indicates development of infectious inflammatory process (sepsis). The monitoring of amount of immature granulocytes in cardiosurgery patients makes it possible to evaluate effectiveness of applied therapy, severity of patient condition, course of post-surgery period and outcome of disease.
