Comparison of two viscoelastic testing devices in a porcine model of surgery, hemorrhage and resuscitation

CONCLUSION: This research contributes valuable insights into the use of ClotPro^(®) in porcine models of hemorrhage and coagulopathy, highlighting both its applicability and limitations in comparison to ROTEM^(®) delta. The observed differences, especially in fibrin polymerization assays, emphasize the importance of understanding device-specific characteristics when interpreting results. Due to its inapplicability, TPA-test should not be used in porcine blood to evaluate fibrinolytic …
