Effects of in vitro hemodilution with crystalloids, colloids, and plasma on canine whole blood coagulation as determined by kaolin‐activated thromboelastography

Abstract

In vitro hemodilution of whole blood with both LRS and HES but not FFP resulted in significant effects on coagulation with HES having a more profound effect. In vivo evaluation of changes in coagulation with various resuscitation fluids is warranted and may be clinically relevant.
