Rotational Thromboelastometric Profile in Early Sepsis: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ROTEM in the early phase of sepsis reveals increased coagulation mediated through the function of fibrinogen. Non-survivors showed slightly lower fibrinolytic activity than survivors; however, it was still within test reference values. The highest predicting value was obtained by a model incorporating, among others, extrinsic coagulation pathway fibrinolytic parameters.
