Fluids administered intravenously may alter whole blood coagulation. However, little is known about the dose-response relationships of hemodilution in plasmalyte-148 solution. Investigators have therefore performed the present study to measure the effect of a plasmalyte-148 solution on the coagulation pathway according to the hemodilution level using a rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) tests.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
12
Venous blood is taken from 12 healthy volunteers and divided into four specimen bottles, which were diluted with different levels (0%, 20%, 40%, and 60%) using a plasmalyte-148 solution.
