Article Description

Introduction: Thromboelastometry evaluates viscoelastic changes in the coagulation process. It offers a graphic representation of the formation of the coagulum, its stability and the presence of lysis. Objective: This first case of transfusion management guided by thromboelastography in Mexico and we conducted a review of the literature. Method: A metasearch search was performed (PubMed, Scielo, Medigraphic) with the words thromboelastometry, coagulopathy, transfusion medicine and the most influential works were included. Conclusions: The rotational thromboelastometry is a diagnostic tool that graphs the functionality of the clot, for a directed and individualized management of the coagulopathy associated with bleeding.
