| Abstract | Viscoelastic testing permits targeted correction of coagulopathy in bleeding patients. As new generations of viscoelastic testing platforms become available, research exploring similarities and differences with older devices can provide insight for institutions seeking to use the newer technologies. Care must be taken to ensure such studies are designed to produce clinically meaningful guidance for adapting existing treatment algorithms to accommodate the latest viscoelastic testing technology. |
