Site-Of-Care Viscoelastic Assay in Major Trauma Improves Outcomes and Is Cost Neutral Compared with Standard Coagulation Tests.

Major hemorrhage is often associated with trauma-induced coagulopathy. Targeted blood product replacement could achieve faster hemostasis and reduce mortality. This study aimed to investigate whether thromboelastography (TEG) goal-directed transfusion improved blood utilization, reduced mortality, and was cost effective.
