Trauma and Coagulation Assessment

This chapter explores the management of trauma patients with significant bleeding, focusing on the use of Rotem as a point-of-care test for coagulation assessment. It compares traditional laboratory tests with newer technologies like TEG and ROTEM, emphasizing their roles in evaluating clot formation and addressing coagulation deficiencies. The discussion underscores the importance of understanding these testing methods and their implications for timely medical interventions in trauma care.
