“…However, the value of these traditional parameters, such as PT and APTT, has been questioned in the acute perioperative setting because of the delay between blood sampling and obtaining the results. Additionally, these tests are carried out on plasma rather than whole blood, and they do not provide much information about platelet function [28] . Currently, TEG is widely used in major operations, such as heart surgery and adult liver transplant, because it contains many parameters for accurately monitoring the coagulation system.…”

“…Rajkumar and colleagues in India used Sonoclot point of care testing in a prospective study of postoperative bleeding in 87 children with cyanotic CHD undergoing cardiac surgery. 44 They found that of the 33.9% of children who had excessive postoperative chest tube drainage, Sonoclot glass bead activation time, clot rate, and platelet function had the highest predictive value. Children with cyanotic CHD typically have elevated hematocrits but their platelet counts may be variable.…”

“…and Dominique et al. found that postoperative bleeding can be predicted by using Sonoclot® in pediatric cardiac surgery [ 11 , 12 ]. However, we anesthesiologists would expect to predict the amount of blood loss during surgery.…”
