Abstract
PEREZ-CALATAYUD, Ángel A. et al. Case report of patient blood managment guided by rotational thromboelastometry in Mexico and literature review. Cir. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.87, suppl.1, pp.1-7. Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.18000488.
Introduction:
Thromboelastometry evaluates viscoelastic changes in the coagulation process. It offers a graphic representation of the formation of the coagulum, its stability and the presence of lysis.
Objective:
This first case of transfusion management guided by thromboelastography in Mexico and we conducted a review of the literature.
Method:
A metasearch search was performed (PubMed, Scielo, Medigraphic) with the words thromboelastometry, coagulopathy, transfusion medicine and the most influential works were included.
Conclusions:
The rotational thromboelastometry is a diagnostic tool that graphs the functionality of the clot, for a directed and individualized management of the coagulopathy associated with bleeding.
Keywords : Rotational thromboelastometry; Coagulopathy; Transfusion medicine.
