Baseline parameters for rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) in healthy women undergoing elective caesarean delivery: a prospective observational study in Australia

The effect of hyperglycemia on blood coagulation: In vitro, observational healthy-volunteer study using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM)

We performed a study to investigate whether contamination of hemostasis samples with a glucose-containing solution might generate spurious results in rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) tests.Venous blood was taken from 12 healthy volunteers and divided into 4 specimen bottles, which were contaminated with different concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%) of glucose solution.Significant lengthe...

Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) – targeted therapy for coagulation management in patients with massive bleeding

Comparison of Neonatal Apgar Score & Umbilical Artery Blood Gas Parameters Among parturients Undergoing Elective Caesarean Section Under Spinal, Epidural & General Anaesthesia: A Prospective Randomized Observational Study

Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) is a life-saving procedure for the parturient and her baby. The frequency of caesarean section continues to rise steadily worldwide [1]. Today, caesarean delivery accounts for more than 30% of all births [2]. In India the incidence of LSCS is increased from 3% to10% between 1992-93 and 2005-06 [3]. Anaesthesia to a parturient affects both mother and fetus,...

Hyperfibrinolysis diagnosed by rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is associated with higher mortality in patients with severe trauma.

BACKGROUND We investigated whether hyperfibrinolysis and its severity was associated with outcome of traumatized and nontraumatized patients. METHODS From April 2008 to April 2010, all emergency patients with hyperfibrinolysis were enrolled in this study. Hyperfibrinolysis patients were divided into traumatized (trauma hyperfibrinolysis group) and nontraumatized (nontrauma hyperfibrinolysis g...

Thrombin generation and rotational thromboelastometry in the healthy adult population.

AIM Published data on thrombin generation variables and their correlation with thromboelastometry in the healthy population are scarce. This study aimed at assessing thrombin generation in adults and its correlation to classical rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM). METHODS Thrombin generation was measured in platelet-poor plasma from healthy volunteers using the calibrated automated thrombo...
