Abstract

Studies investigating thromboelastometry or thrombelastography analyses in a physiological context are scattered and not easy to access. To systematically retrieve and describe published reports studying healthy subjects and targeting at the correlation of ROTEM® and TEG® measurements with conventional parameters of hemostasis. Systematic Review: Papers were searched in Medline, Scopus and the Science Citation Index database. Reference lists of included studies and of reviews were screened. To be included papers had to report ROTEM or TEG data on healthy subjects. Two reviewers screened papers for inclusion, read full texts of potentially relevant papers, and extracted data of included papers. Searches identified 1,721 records of which 1,713 were either excluded immediately or after reading the full text. The remaining 8 studies enrolled 632 subjects. The association of conventional parameters of hemostasis with ROTEM and with TEG was investigated in one and two studies, respectively. Overall correlation was limited and ranged from 0.0 to 0.40 (total thrombus generation vs. fibrinogen; clotting time INTEM vs. activated partial thromboplastin time). Studies assessing the relationship between thromboelastometry or thromboelastogr...Continue Reading

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.
