Thromboelastometry and Multiplate platelet function monitoring are both used for coagulation monitoring in cardiac surgery. The complementary value of the two monitoring systems is not established.
We found no relation between platelet contribution to clot strength, as measured by RoTEM and platelet function testing with the Multiplate. Interestingly, fibrinogen improved the platelet contribution of clot strength in RoTEM measurements.
In addition, this study suggests that to assess platelet function next to RoTEM measurements, a complementary platelet function test, ie. the Multiplate, will be necessary.
