Viscoelastic Haemostasis

Viscoelastic Haemostasis* (TEM / TEG) provides rapid, whole blood diagnosis of coagulopathies to optimise patient blood management in major surgeries and traumatic bleeding.

Samples and reports will be issued on a quarterly basis, with additional data from ECAT. This collaboration aims to provide us with a larger data base for peer review and additional level of expertise and support in this highly specialist field.

Frequency: Quarterly

Samples per set: 2 x 3.0mL samples

Material: Lyophilised human plasma

Methods: Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) / Thromboelastometry (TEM) / Thromboelastography (TEG)

Key Features: Working in collaboration with ECAT. Covers the tests Extem, Intem, Fibtem, Heptem and Aptem.
