  Background: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is a highly complex procedure and can offer difficult intraoperative control in patients with coagulopathy. The present study aimed to evaluate the profile of coagulation by Rotation thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) in the intraoperative of patients with prothrombotic risk factors submitted to liver transplantation. Methods: A prospective, observational pilot study, in which 24 patients submitted to OLT, of both sexes and age from 18 years, were included in the period from October 2014 to June 2017. Three samples were taken intraoperatively to analyze the profile of coagulation through the thromboelastometry assays (EXTEM, FIBTEM, INTEM and HEPTEM). Results: In the analysis of the tests in the EXTEM (clotting time [CT] and maximum clot firmness [MCF]) and INTEM (MCF), there was hypocoagulation along the OLT, with no statistical differ..
