The Role of Hemostasis in Blood Management (Video)

Low Hemorrhage-Related Mortality in Trauma Patients in a Level I Trauma Center Employing Transfusion Packages and Early Thromboelastography-Directed Hemostatic Resuscitation with Plasma and Platelets

This was a prospective study of adult trauma patients admitted to a Level I trauma center. Demography, Injury Severity Score (ISS), transfusion therapy, and mortality were registered. Hemostatic resuscitation was based on a massive transfusion protocol encompassing transfusion packages and thromboelastography (TEG)-guided therapy.

High Mortality Associated with Intracardiac and Intrapulmonary Thromboses after Cardiopulmonary Bypass

In this retrospective review, we attempt to identify risk factors and propose possible mechanisms of thromboses after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
