Description
How can point-of-care testing be used to promote optimal and efficient use of blood products? The growing evidence of adverse effects of RBC transfusions amplifies the need to test for coagulopathic bleeding in real time. This session will discuss new point-of-care technologies and ideas for implementation in clinical settings such as cardiovascular surgery and trauma.

  • Describe new, evolving technologies: rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and thromboelastograph analysis (TEG).
  • Discuss coupling of point-of-care coagulation testing to transfusion algorithms.
  • Discuss point-of-care monitoring for RBC therapy.
