Advantages of using rotary thromboelastography (rotem) in patients with severe brain damage in a chronic critical condition
The article provides information about the advantages of the rotational thromboelastography (ROTEM) method used in patients with severe brain injuries in chronic critical condition at the Federal Scientific and Clinical Center of Intensive Care and Rehabilitation in Moscow. This method is based on graphical registration of changes in the viscosity and elastic properties of blood during the formation of a fibrin clot. A thromboelastogram, unlike classical clotting studies, displays the kinetics of all stages of thrombus formation, as well as fibrinolysis. The advantages of this method over classical methods and the scope of its application in practical medicine are discussed. The role of the method in the evaluation of the hemostasis system.
