The process of haemostasis is complex and is further complicated in the parturient because
of the physiological changes of pregnancy. Understanding these changes and the impact …

Background Thrombelastography is a laboratorial test that measures viscoelastic changes of
the entire clotting process. There is growing interest in its clinical use in trauma resuscitation …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with acute liver injury/failure (ALI/ALF) are assumed to
have a bleeding diathesis on the basis of elevated INR; however, clinically significant …

TEG can monitor the dynamic changes of blood clot formation and lysis by activating the
coagulation system of a small sample of whole blood in vitro. The parameters can reflect the …

Trauma-induced coagulopathy is associated with very high mortality, and hemorrhage
remains the leading preventable cause of death after injury. Directed methods to combat …

BACKGROUND: The acute coagulopathy of trauma has been identified as a critical
determinant of outcomes. Antifibrinolytic agents have recently been demonstrated to …

Owing to the propensity of anticoagulated patients to bleed, a strategy for reversal of
anticoagulation induced by any of the common agents is essential. Many patients are …

Introduction Transfusion in trauma is often empiric or based on traditional lab tests.
Viscoelastic tests such as thromboelastography (TEG®) and rotational thromboelastometry …

Background In case of bleeding patients and in acute care, the assessment of residual direct
oral anticoagulant (DOAC) activity is essential for evaluating the potential impact on …

Thromboelastography (TEG) has been used for decades to guide transfusion therapy during
cardiac and hepatic surgeries. Renewed interest and improved technology have led to wider …
