TABLE 2. .
Mixed Effect Model Results for Mean Difference of Thrombin, Thrombin with Blood, and Red Blood Cells (RBC's) where, statistically, FLOSEAL, containing smooth gelatin, had significantly lower nonretained thrombin and RBC's than SURGIFLO, containing stellate gelatin
Metric | FLOSEAL VH S/D mean (n = 27) | SURGIFLO+Thrombin Mean (n = 27) | Mean difference | Lower 95% CI | Upper 95% CI | p-value of mean difference |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Product thrombin (IU/ml) | 6.81 | 10.89 | −4.08 | −5.48 | −2.67 | 0.0013 |
Product+Blood thrombin (IU/ml) | 0.613 | 1.289 | −0.676 | −0.841 | −0.511 | 0.0003 |
RBC's (×106/ul) | 0.0685 | 0.0911 | −0.0226 | −0.0356 | −0.0096 | 0.0085 |
