Correlation between Maximum Clot Firmness in FIBTEM and Fibrinogen Level in Critical Trauma Patients

Table 2

FIBTEM characteristics between normal fibrinogen level and hypofibrinogenemia.

Variables	Median when fibrinogen level <200 mg/dL	Median when fibrinogen level >200 mg/dL	value
FIBTEM
MCF (mm)	7.5	12	<0.01
CT (sec)	45	44	0.05
A10 (mm)	6	11	<0.01

Data are presented as median. MCF: maximum clot firmness; CT: clotting time; A10: clot amplitude at 10 min.
