ROTEM (Rotational Thromboelastometry)

ROTEM (Rotational Thromboelastometry) is a laboratory test that evaluates how well your blood clots. It measures the speed and strength of clot formation and breakdown in a small blood sample. This helps doctors understand bleeding or clotting problems, guiding treatment decisions such as transfusions or medication adjustments. The test provides real-time information about the entire clotting process, from initial formation to dissolution, offering a comprehensive view of your blood's ability to form stable clots, which is vital in managing surgeries and bleeding disorders.
