Radiation exposure severely impairs whole blood clotting. Thromboelastometry was utilized to determine the effects of radiation exposure on whole blood clotting parameters: (a) coagulation time, (b) clot formation time, (c) a-angle, and (d) maximum clot firmness. A paired Student's t-test was used to determine statistical significance, as indicated by * (p < 0.05) or ** (p < 0.05) (n=3, except for days 16-30, at which points n < 3 and no statistical analyses were performed.)
