[Our experience with the Soviet "Thromb-2" thromboelastograph].

The soviet thrombelastograph "Thromb-2" is four-channel, recording the processes of coagulation of whole and citrate blood at 37 degrees C. It is used for macro- and micro tests as micro tests are performed with peripheral blood as well. The recording of the process is achieved immediately by means of a moving diagram paper for a two-sided or one-sided record, using writing apparatus with ink. The velocity of the diagram paper is such that it assures a great precission of the recording. The charaeter of the thrombelastogram itself is determined by an electrical signal, proportional to the elasticity of the formed blood coagulum. Maintenance of the thrombelastograph with paper and ink is easy, available and cheap.
