Deskripsi
Background/Aims Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is a viscoelastic test that is used in patients with liver disease for guiding blood component use. This study is aimed at comparing the amount of blood products transfused and bleeding rates in patients without liver disease, who underwent therapeutic endoscopic procedures with deranged screening coagulation tests (prothrombin time [PT]; activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT]), with and without hypocoagulable ROTEM.
