Abstract:
:Thromboelastography and thromboelastometry represent viscoelastic diagnostic methodologies with promising application to diseases of altered coagulation. Their use in trauma-induced coagulopathy as a means of assessing the real-time status of the patient's functional coagulation profile in addition to its impact on effective and appropriate use of blood product support has been gaining acceptance among trauma surgeons, anesthesiologists, and transfusion medicine specialists. However, the ability of viscoelastic testing to augment or supplant conventional coagulation testing for the diagnosis and management of trauma-induced coagulopathy remains controversial. Many of these issues pertain to the differences in methodology, instrumentation, logic, accessibility, ease of use, operator variability, and the method's relationship to patient care, blood product use, cost, and conventional testing algorithms.
