Popis: Massive bleeding remains a leading cause of potentially preventable death after cardiovascular surgery [1]. Conventional coagulation tests (CCT) fail to characterize the multiple hemostatic abnormalities observed in surgical patients and are further limited by their slow results and poor correlation with transfusion requirements. We assessed the clinical impact of goal-directed coagulation management based on rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in patients undergoing an emergent cardiovascular surgical procedure.
