Blocks and posts embedded into a microfluidic device can determine platelet forces and bleeding risk in trauma patients. (A) A single block and post. (B) Many blocks and posts within a channel. (C) Platelet forces are determined by deflection of the post. (D) Block and post after platelet aggregate has formed. (E) In comparison to trauma patients not requiring a blood transfusion (blue), mean platelet force was significantly decreased in trauma patients requiring a transfusion (red). Healthy platelets reported the strongest forces (black). Adapted under the terms of Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.[99] Copyright 2019, Springer Nature.
