CARRILLO-ESPER, Raúl; MEJIA-GOMEZ, Leslian Janet  y  PEREZ-CALATAYUD, Ángel Augusto. Rotational thromboelastometry. The electrocardiogram of coagulation. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2022, vol.45, n.3, pp.184-187.  Epub 05-Sep-2022. ISSN 0484-7903.  https://doi.org/10.35366/105591.

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.

Palabras llave : Rotational thromboelastometry; coagulopathy; transfusion medicine.
