Título Platelet function and clotting parameters of vibration-exposed foundry workers
Información bibliográfica Aug. 1983, Vol.9, No.4, p.347-352. Illus. 19 ref.
Resumen 22 workers using pneumatic hammers and portable grinders and 20 control workers not exposed to vibration were studied. No differences were found in platelet aggregation indices between the 2 groups, and clotting parameters were normal in all cases. Cold provocation tests showed that vibration-exposed workers had greater vasoconstriction of digital vessels than the control subjects. In the early stages of vasospastic disorders, segmental vibration can induce peripheral vascular hyperactivity without changes in these physiological parameters.
