Prediction of Maximum Amplitude With Citrated Rapid Thromboelastography Reaction Time in Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Study
CRT-R, obtainable within minutes of assay initiation, moderately predicts final clot strength, with the strongest link to fibrinogen-dependent CFF-MA. These CRT-R-based thresholds may enable earlier preparation of platelet and fibrinogen therapy within viscoelastic-guided transfusion workflows.
