IV clonidine for post-extradural shivering in parturients: a preliminary study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Early clot amplitudes measured on thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) predict maximum clot firmness (MCF) in adults. In this multicentre, retrospective study, we aimed to confirm the suspected relationship between early ROTEM® variables and MCF, in children undergoing cardiac or non-cardiac surgery. METHODS:4762 RO...
