Introduction: Recent studies have demonstrated a hypercoagulable thromboelastrogram (TEG) in female trauma patients compared with males, conferring a possible survival advantage. We hypothesized that TEG profiles would reveal a relative hypercoagulable state in female compared with male trauma patients.
Methods: A prospective review was conducted on all adult trauma patients admitted to the trauma service at an American College of Surgeons-verified level I trauma center from December 2019 to June 2021 who, per our institutional protocol, received a thrombelastotgraphy on their initial arrival to the trauma center if classified as a level I or II trauma activation.
