The Influence of Thromboelastometry-identified Haemostatic Changes on Haemorrhagic Progression of Intracranial Injury and Clinical Outcome in Patients With Isolated Traumatic Brain Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Thromboelastometry-guided haemostatic treatment for Coagulation Disorder and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 142 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A prospective open-label case-control study will be performed aiming to assess the utility of thromboelastometry (ROTEM) for identification of hemostatic changes, goal-directed coagulation management, and prognosis of intracranial hemorrhagic injury progression as well as clinical outcome in patients with isolated traumatic brain injury. Patients undergoing craniotomy to treat traumatic brain injury will be enrolled. All patients will undergo standard perioperative coagulation analysis (APTT, PT, INR, fibrinogen levels, platelet count), whereas ROTEM-guided group will additionally be tested with ROTEM. "Cases" will be managed according to a ROTEM-based algorithm, and "Controls" will be treated as usual (based on clinical judging). Comparative analysis of acquired demographic, clinical and laboratory data will be performed. The investigators believe that ROTEM results could provide better insight into perioperative coagulation changes, be beneficial to patient blood management, and result in better outcome.
