The Influence of Laboratory Coagulation Tests and Clotting Factor Levels on Rotation Thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) During Major Surgery with Hemorrhage

Abstract

The results confirm the clinical assumption that EXTEM, INTEM, and APTEM are associated with fibrinogen and platelets levels; INTEM-CT significantly to aPTT; and FIBTEM significantly to fibrinogen. Factor VIII showed a significant correlation with all ROTEM parameters except CT of EXTEM, INTEM, FIBTEM, and CFT and MCF of APTEM.
