Implementation of point‐of‐care <scp>ROTEM</scp>® into a trauma major haemorrhage protocol: A before and after study

Abstract

Although there was no overall reduction of packed red blood cell usage, a change in the pattern of administration of other blood products was observed with the implementation of a targeted VHA (ROTEM®) guided coagulation management programme. Larger studies are needed to further define the role of early VHA testing to guide correction of trauma-induced coagulopathy and the effect on clinical outcomes.
