From: FIBTEM provides early prediction of massive transfusion in trauma
ROTEM® measurements differed between patients who received massive transfusion and those that did not. Clot amplitude of EXTEM, INTEM and FIBTEM in five minute intervals for patients who received or did not receive massive transfusion. For each test, after 10 minutes, 75 to 90% of the entire MCF is reached. A5 to A30, amplitude at five-minute intervals; EXTEM, extrinsically activated thromboelastometric test; FIBTEM, extrinsically activated thromboelastometric test with cytochalasin D; INTEM, intrinsically activated thromboelastometric test; MCF, maximum clot firmness; MT, massive transfusion. Groups were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. * P < 0.0001 between groups.
