Abstract
Considerable efforts have been made over the past decades to develop rapid and efficient tests capable of guiding transfusion therapies during surgical procedures and severe trauma burdened by heavy blood loss. Viscoelastic haemostatic assays (VHA), including rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®, Penthapharm, Basel, Switzerland) and thromboelastography (TEG®, Hemoscope-Hemonetics, Niles, IL, USA) are rapid, whole blood assays that can determine clot viscoelastic strength upon coagulation activation by standardised reagents
