Abstract:
Coagulopathy is very common in patients in intensive care unit (ICU) and often indicates organ dysfunction or underlying diseases.The application of traditional methods assessing the patients' coagulation status in ICU is limited because they can not reflect the whole process of coagulation.Thromboelastography (TEG),a point-of-care (POC) assay of coagulation,fibrinolysis and platelet function,developed in recent years has been widely used in organ transplant and cardiovascular surgery and so on.However,there is no standard for the use of TEG in ICU.The development and application of TEG in sepsis,multiple trauma,guiding blood transfusion,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO),and anticoagulation monitoring were addressed in this review,and its value and application prospect in ICU were analyzed.
