Abstract

Thromboelastography is a test of blood coagulation used to evaluate all components of clot formation and possible abnormal clot dissolution. It supplements traditional laboratory testing by demonstrating the integration of coagulation factors, platelets (number and function), and other factors during coagulation. Analysis of abnormalities demonstrated by thromboelastography can guide organ procurement coordinators in titrating appropriate quantities of fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, or platelet transfusions during treatment of coagulation in adult donors.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
