Identification of a thromboelastographic pattern in children undergoing cardiac surgery with prolonged exposure to cardiopulmonary bypass

This study suggests the existence of a thromboelastographic pattern independent of age or weight in patients undergoing paediatric cardiac surgery with prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass exposure, characterised by a reduction of angle and maximum amplitude values, with no change in reaction time.
