Hypothermia-Associated Coagulopathy: A Comparison of Viscoelastic Monitoring, Platelet Function, and Real Time Live Confocal Microscopy at Low Blood Temperatures, an in vitro Experimental Study
IntroductionHypothermia has notable effects on platelets, platelet function, fibrinogen, and coagulation factors. Common laboratory techniques cannot identify those effects, because blood samples are usually warmed to 37°C before analysis and do not fully reflect the in vivo situation. Multiple aspe...
