From: An in vitro evaluation of standard rotational thromboelastography in monitoring of effects of recombinant factor VIIa on coagulopathy induced by hydroxy ethyl starch

Figure 1

The figure shows the 3 representative tracings of the EXTEG analysis from one of the participants in the study. Above the normal tracing with a short CT and CFT is shown. It can be seen that the clot strength is rapidly increasing after initiation of the clotting. In the middle the tracing after hemodilution with HES is found. It can be seen that the CFT is prolonged and that the strength of the clot is increasing slower. Below the tracing after hemodilution and addition of rFVIIa is found. The clotting is then severely impaired, the clot strength is increasing slower and the maximum strength is also severely impaired.
