Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM)

Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) is a diagnostic test that assesses how well your blood clots and how stable those clots are. It works by measuring the physical properties of blood as it forms a clot in a small sample, providing real-time information about clot formation, strength, and breakdown. This test helps doctors quickly evaluate bleeding risks or clotting disorders, guiding targeted treatment strategies in surgeries, trauma, or bleeding abnormalities. Overall, ROTEM offers a detailed picture of your blood's clotting ability, enabling more precise and effective management of bleeding or clotting issues.
