Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of non-essential surgical procedures in March 2020. With the resumption of surgical activity, patients undergoing surgery were one of the first population groups to be systematically tested for PCR. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 carriers after the resumption of non-essential surgical activity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of a transfusion protocol using viscoelastic hemostatic assays on trauma patients to reduce bleeding-related deaths.
- Implementing this protocol led to an increased use of fibrinogen concentrate and a decreased reliance on blood products like plasma and packed red blood cells.
- Outcomes for patients receiving only fibrinogen concentrate showed fewer complications, such as pneumonia and multiorgan failure, compared to other treatment groups.
