Comparison between the Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) Delta device against the Cartridge-based Thromboelastography 6s and Quantra in a healthy third trimester pregnant cohort

J Clin Monit ComputPublished Method comparison study

Authors' conclusion

All the POCVT devices demonstrated a high correlation to laboratory Clauss fibrinogen, making each beneficial for the early recognition and management of hypofibrinogenemia.
