Abstract

Viscoelastic assays help in identifying disorders of clotting factors, platelet function, and detection of excessive fibrinolysis. Rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) assesses quantitative and qualitative aspects of whole blood coagulation which allows for the determination of the mechanism of hemostatic disturbance. This helps clinicians in targeting the correct blood component therapy transfusion. Now, using verify we aim to study platelet reactivity, VA ECMO which will reflect the platelet aggregation response to an aggregating agent like Aspirin and thus know the etiology of bleeding on VA ECMO, to know the right component therapy to be transfused with a Point of Care test. For extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, although the conventional laboratory tests are used to monitor anticoagulation on whole blood, viscoelastic tests reflect coagulation status like no other standard laboratory tests. They show the status of color propagation, formation, and stabilization. It was reported that platelet function was impaired over time in all parameters with different activators.
