Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Hematology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Traditional thromboelastography relies on surface contact, leading to unreliable coagulation measurements.
  • Contact activation in existing methods introduces variability, impacting the prediction of bleeding or thrombosis risks.
  • Critical care patients require accurate and timely assessment of blood coagulation status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop acoustic tweezing thromboelastometry as a non-contact method for perioperative blood coagulation assessment.
  • To overcome the limitations of surface-dependent coagulation assays.
  • To enable rapid and reliable monitoring of blood clotting.

Main Methods:

  • Acoustic tweezing was employed to levitate and deform microliter blood samples.
  • Quasi-static acoustic pressure changes controlled sample location and deformation, monitored via digital imaging.
  • Analysis of the sample's stress/strain behavior during solidification provided clotting insights.

Main Results:

  • Non-Newtonian blood samples exhibited unique location/deformation curves as they solidified, unlike simple liquids.
  • The slope profile of whole blood or plasma changed distinctively during clotting.
  • Changes in this slope profile allowed detection of hyper- or hypocoagulable states when exposed to pro- or antithrombotic agents.

Conclusions:

  • Quasi-static acoustic tweezing effectively provides information on clotting onset, maturation, and strength.
  • The non-contact, small-sample volume, and rapid measurement capabilities make this technique suitable for real-time coagulation monitoring.
  • Acoustic tweezing thromboelastometry presents a promising advancement for reliable blood coagulation assessment.
