Perioperative blood coagulation monitoring

The perioperative blood coagulation monitoring is critical to better understand the causes of bleeding, guide hemostatic therapies, and predict the risk of bleeding during surgery. Our understandings of perioperative coagulopathy, diagnostic tools, and therapeutic approaches have evolved in recent years. The newly developed cell coagulation model combined with new hemostatic viscoelastic tests (TEG or ROTEM) and platelet function tests, carried out by the bedside, facilitates the understanding and measure of the formation and resolution of the clot in whole blood, enabling rapid diagnosis and treatment of perioperative coagulopathy.
