ROTEM as a Predictor of Mortality in Patients With Severe Trauma

Hemorrhage, especially when complicated by coagulopathy, is the most preventable cause of death in trauma patients. We hypothesized that assessing hemostatic function using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) or conventional coagulation tests can predict the risk of mortality in patients with seve...
