Table 3 Analysis of viscoelastic parameters in albumin-based colloid solutions enriched with fibrinogen (FGN) and prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC). Different FGN concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 g/l) were combined with fixed PCC concentrations of 1 IU/ml. The albumin concentration was maintained stable at 5%. Negative controls on fibrinogen free solutions did not show any measurable ROTEM response (infinite CT). A minimum of three repeats for each concentration step was performed. The values in bold letters reflect the optimal FGN response for CRF composition
