About

In 2008 at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) a massive transfusion protocol was introduced. Based on laboratory diagnostics and point of care (POC) devices including ROTEM.

Goal of this retrospective study is to evaluate the influence of this algorithm on coagulation, use of blood products, coagulation factors and ROTEM evolution.
