New methods for bleeding monitoring

Journal Title: Global Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Bleeding is a potentially preventable reason of the death among patients during major surgery. Appropriate monitorization is necessary to perform optimum resuscitation. However, conventional coagulation tests have some limitations. In recent years, point of care (POC) tests has been developed to improve patient safety in the presence of clinical bleeding POC tests measure viscoelastic properties of full-thickness clot formation in the beginning of bleeding. In this review, both of advantage and disadvantage of monitorization tests during bleeding management is explained.
