Rapid Thrombelastography Predicts Perioperative Massive Blood Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Retrospective Study
Preoperative r-TEG activated clotting time can predict the increase of postoperative MBT in patients undergoing CABG. We recommend the careful monitoring of coagulation system with r-TEG, which allows rapid diagnosis of coagulation abnormalities even before the start of surgery.
