ABSTRACT

Thromboelastometry evaluates viscoelastic changes in the coagulation process. It offers us a graphic representation of the formation of the clot, its stability and the presence of lysis. Rotational thromboelastometry is a diagnostic tool that graphs the functionality of the clot, for a targeted and individualized management of bleeding-associated coagulopathy. In this work it is specified how rotational thromboelastometry is to coagulation as the electrocardiogram is to the heart.
