In the setting of trauma, studies have shown that both ROTEM- and TEG-guided treatment algorithms result in non-inferior patient outcomes and result in decreased overall usage of blood products compared to empiric massive transfusion protocols.
TEG, ROTEM, and other VHAs are powerful tools that can guide your transfusion of blood products in real-time. Hopefully the simplified algorithms listed here will help you make use of this valuable information.
