TL;DR
A 15-minute incubation significantly shortens CK-R/CKH-R and marginally decreases CK-MA, potentially normalizing hyper- or hypocoagulable readings, and strict adherence to the manufacturer's incubation protocol is recommended except in emergencies.
Background
Thromboelastography (TEG) provides a global assessment of coagulation and fibrinolytic activity. This study aimed to evaluate postoperative coagulation changes in patients undergoing lobectomy for lung malignancy using TEG.
Methods
In this prospective observational study, sixteen patients undergoing lobect...

Background
Anticipation of massive blood transfusion (MBT) can enhance patient care, operating room logistics and planning. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), evaluates whole blood hemostasis from initiation to hemolysis. This study aimed to determine the role of ROTEM in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT)....

Viscoelastic Testing (VET) can provide information about the status of coagulation factors, platelet count, platelet function, and fibrinolysis in fresh whole blood and is used in various critical care settings. Our current VET method, Haemonetics TEG 5000 (5000) (Boston, MA) is being discontinued in the next few...

Hemolysis is a common and clinically significant preanalytical interference. It occurs when red blood cells break down and release intracellular contents into the matrix. Hemolysis causes both analytical interference and true concentration changes. Clinical laboratories routinely assess the degree of hemolysis to...
