Using a high-sensitivity blood test (SMAT) that measures initial thrombin generation (ITG)—the very first step of blood clot formation—the researchers analyzed blood samples from 771 patients with ...

In light of these concepts, current massive transfusion protocols incorporate hemostasis-directed resuscitation, or the pre-emptive administration of blood coagulation products along with packed red ...
