Age minimum: 18 Years
Age maximum: N/A
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Coagulopathy
Intervention(s)
Procedure: RapidTEG test
Primary Outcome(s)
To determine the prevalence and severity of immediate disturbances in coagulation by both RapidTEG and conventional coagulation parameters among major trauma activations. [Time Frame: First 5 days of hospitalization]
Secondary Outcome(s)
To determine if RapidTEG abnormalities, when compared to kaolin-activated TEG, PT, INR and aPTT, correlate with patient outcomes in severely injured patients. [Time Frame: First 5 days of hospitalization]
To determine if there are specific abnormalities of RapidTEG that correlate with specific early blood product utilization. [Time Frame: First 5 days of hospitalization]
To determine the temporal relationship between rapid TEG parameters and anatomic injury, mechanism of injury, and severity of injury. [Time Frame: First 5 days of hospitalization]
