Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the transfusion recommendations of two treatment protocols: Quantra QPlus and ROTEM, specifically in patients undergoing elective cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
- Researchers analyzed 100 samples from patients post-surgery, finding that the transfusion advice from the two protocols showed poor agreement overall and for specific transfusion needs like fibrinogen.
- The results indicate that the Quantra QPlus protocol may recommend unnecessary transfusions in non-bleeding patients, while it occasionally suggests transfusions when ROTEM does not, highlighting the need for adjustments in the Quantra QPlus protocol.
