Delta values (Δ) (median) describing the change compared to pre surgery in EXTEM and FIBTEM A10—clot width at 10 min and MCF—maximum clot formation for dextran and albumin at the different time points.* p < 0.05 was calculated using Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction for intergroup comparison
