Table 3 Coagulation variables as assessed by EXTEG. Obvious signs of dilution are found in the CFT and the A15. The addition of rFVIIa to the diluted blood leads to a prolongation of the CFT and the A15 (n = 8).
Normal | Dilution | Dilution + rFVIIa | |
|---|---|---|---|
CT (s) | 51.5 (30–69) | 63 (41–81) | 58.5 (37–99) |
CFT (s) | 91 (67–105) | 227 (171–332)* | 558.5 (308–998)*¶ |
A15 (mm) | 57 (53–63) | 42 (33–49)* | 25.5 (19–37)*¶ |
