Abstract

Functional point-of-care tests (POCTs) have evolved into useful tools for diagnosing disorders of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. We aimed to describe the in vivo association between standard and functional parameters of coagulation and fibrinolysis in the setting of acute hemodilution induced by an infusion of balanced crystalloid or synthetic gelatine solutions. This prospective randomized crossover in vivo study included healthy male volunteers aged 18-30 years. Enrolled participants were randomly assigned to receive either the Optilyte® or Geloplasma® infusion. Laboratory analysis included conventional coagulation parameters and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) assays. A total of 25 healthy Caucasian males were included. ROTEM viscoelastic assays presented moderate to strong correlations with conventional coagulation tests, regardless of the fluid type utilized. Irrespectively of the extent of hemodilution, significant correlations remained unaffected. The strongest associations were found between the ROTEM clot formation and clot strength and the fibrinogen concentration and platelet count, and between the ROTEM clotting time and the APTT and PT. This in vivo experimental study in healthy male volunteers demonstrated that ROTEM may be used as a credible alternative to standard laboratory tests to assess blood coagulation and fibrinolysis in the setting of fluid resuscitation with both crystalloid and colloid solutions. The study was registered online in the ClinicalTrials.gov database (NCT05148650).

Keywords: coagulation and fibrinolysis; fluid resuscitation; fluid therapy; perioperative medicine; point-of-care testing; rotational thromboelastometry.
