Relationship between acid-base status and inflammation in the critically ill.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coagulation can be visualised using whole blood coagulation analyses such as thromboelastometry and platelet aggregation tests; however, the role of temperature in the analyses is ambiguous. The aim was to examine whether temperature influences the whole blood coagulation tests. METHODS:We included 40 patie...
