Evaluation of dynamic parameters of thrombus formation measured on whole blood using rotational thromboelastometry in children undergoing cardiac surgery: a descriptive study

ConclusionBased on this descriptive study, dynamic ROTEM® parameters of total thrombus formation could be used to estimate the amplification and the propagation phases of coagulation in children. These parameters might be used in further well‐designed study to predict the need for hemostatic products in children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
