Coagulation under Mild Hypothermia Assessed by Thromboelastometry

Conclusion: This demonstrates that even under mild hypothermia coagulation is significantly altered in vitro. Perioperative temperature monitoring and management are greatly important and can help to prevent mild hypothermia and its adverse effects. Further investigation and in vivo testing of coagulation under mild hypothermia is needed.Transfus Med Hemother
