Table 2 Coagulation variables as assessed by INTEG. Obvious signs of dilution are found in the CFT and the A15, while the addition of rFVIIa to the diluted blood does not affect the coagulation parameters (n = 8).

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