Abstract
|
|
|
Viscoelastic coagulation tests provide simultaneous measurements of multiple aspects of whole-blood coagulation, including interactions between the plasma components and cellular components of the coagulation cascade. This can be carried out immediately using a point of care technique. Viscoelastic tests could predict the patient¡¯s outcome, including mortality, and detect coagulopathy more sensitively, resulted in reduced blood loss. The transfusion strategy based on the viscoelastic parameters rather than a conventional coagulation test has been shown to reduce the transfusion requirements. Although there are concerns about the reliability and accuracy of this method, viscoelastic tests, including ROTEM, would be a useful method to guide patient blood management strategies.
