Perioperative hemorrhage in patients undergoing surgery is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. DRIHEMATO SYSTEM COAG-1 can detect prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and fibrinogen (FIB) easily. ⋯ The specificity for lotting abnormality of this monitoring system included the following values; PT = 88%, FIB = 100% and TEG = 67%. This study suggests that this monitoring system may be useful in early diagnosis and treatment of postoperative coagulopathy.
