Abstract
In this study we aimed to detect the effect of different centrifugation temperatures on coagulation parameters in the emergency laboratory. Duplicate samples were collected into sodium citrate tubes from 45 patients and centrifuged concurrently with non-cooling (group 1) and cooling centrifuges (Group 2) in Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital emergency laboratory. Inner temperatures of the centrifuges were recorded during the study. Afterwards, PT, aPTT, D-dimer and fibrinogen values were determined.
