Towards perioperative point-of-care viscoelastic testing
Abstract
In October this year, it will be seventy-five years since Helmut Hartert, at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, described a “new” method of detecting the changes in blood clotting from a viscous to a more elastic clot, known as “thrombus stressography.”1 The apparatus measured the changes in resistance when applying a continuous rotational force to whole blood.
