Table 2 Changes in three signatures of Sonoclot® analyzer during the operation

From: A case of hemothorax due to traumatic bleeding managed effectively by Sonoclot®-guided blood transfusion

  SonACT
normal 100–155 s 		Clot rate (CR)
normal 9–35 		Platelet function (PF)
normal >1.5
Point 1 581 1.5 0.5
Point 2 258 6.5 0.5
Point 3 193 11.3 3.2
