Use of Viscoelastic Tests in the Treatment of Traumatic Induced Coagulopathy: a Pragmatic Randomized Clinical Trial.

Stopped: Lack of financial support

Italy0Started 2019-12

Plain-language summary

Trauma is the leading cause of death in young people. Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) encompasses several aspects of traumatic bleeding. Monitoring of coagulopathy comprises use of Point-of-Care (POC) methods, such as thromboelastography (TEG) or Thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and conventional laboratory assays (platelet count, fibrinogen level, and PT or INR). POC tests are thought to have a better performance on mortality and bleeding control than conventional tests. The aim of this study is to compare POC and conventional assays with plasma consumption as a primary outcome and 28 days mortality as a secondary one.
