Study summary

The purpose of the study is to describe the differences and interchangeability in measurements of viscoelastic tests of coagulation by two different devices in adult trauma patients.

Read the detailed description

The study will commence following approval by the Research Ethics Committee. All patients admitted to the emergency department for trauma from October 1, 2019, to January 31, 2020, will be enrolled after fulfilling the inclusion criteria and in the absence of any exclusion criteria. Informed consent will be requested.

Viscoelastic coagulation tests will be performed simultaneously using ROTEM® Delta and ClotPro®. The investigators will compare the values of clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle, maximum clot firmness (MCF), and maximum lysis (ML) obtained from the extrinsic pathway test (EX-test) on ClotPro® with those obtained from the extrinsic pathway test (EXTEM) on ROTEM® Delta.

Furthermore, the investigators will compare the values of clotting time (CT), clot formation time (CFT), alpha angle, maximum clot firmness (MCF), and maximum lysis (ML) obtained from the fibrinogen test (FIB-test) on ClotPro® with those obtained from fibrinogen thromboelastometry (FIBTEM) on ROTEM® Delta.

The secondary outcome will be to assess the relationship between measurement results and patient temperature.

Study data will be entered into a study form. Measurements may be repeated over time. The indication for subsequent measurements will be determined solely by the treating physician.

Differences in estimated viscoelastic coagulation parameters and the interchangeability of the two devices will be analysed.
