Patient's ROTEM data on days 1, 2, and 6 in the ICU. On day 1, an APTEM column was used to evaluate fibrinolysis parameters. Clotting time was very short for each parameter, and the width of the clot was significantly more. The CFT in FIBTEM was 54 s. These results suggested hypercoagulopathy. Unfractionated heparin was administered and the HEPTEM column was used to evaluate the treatment efficiency on second and sixth days. This data indicate that the patient's hypercoagulopathy did not resolve even after unfractionated heparin was administered. CFT: clot formation time, ICU: intensive care unit, ROTEM: rotational thromboelastometry.
