Correlation between plasma fibrinogen and FIBTEM thromboelastometry during liver transplantation: a comprehensive assessment

ConclusionFIBTEM MCF is not a good indicator of plasma fibrinogen values after graft reperfusion. FIBTEM MCF >8 mm during the LT procedure is associated with less RBC transfusion. FIBTEM MCF values over 10 mm could lead to unnecessary fibrinogen administration.
