The inconsistencies between conventional and global lab tests in cardiosurgeric patient (a clinical case)

The clinical case demonstrates inconsistencies between the results of thromboelastography and conventional coagulation lab tests at the early postoperative period of patient undergoing cardiosurgery. The analyzing of the revealed discrepancy proves that the opposition of laboratory methods as 'one against the other' for studying the hemostatic system is unacceptable.
