CMCory K MayfieldNONathan N O'HaraRMRyan Martin

Key Points

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of thrombelastography in predicting thromboembolic events following extremity trauma.
  • Conducted secondary analysis of the PREVENT-CLOT data
  • Assessed patients with extremity trauma using thrombelastography
  • Analyzed correlations between thrombelastography results and thromboembolic events
  • Thrombelastography was found to effectively predict thromboembolic events
  • The analysis identified specific thresholds for intervention
  • Findings support the clinical use of thrombelastography in trauma settings

Abstract

Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
