NCCEd: Neurocritical Care Education for Residents

Objective: Identify indications for acquisition of viscoelastic assays (i.e. ROTEM, TEG)

Objective: Interpret the results of viscoelastic assays to select the appropriate treatment strategy if coagulopathy is present

Rationale: Coagulopathy can have deleterious effects on operative outcomes. Viscoelastic assays are a tool that may be used to help identify patients’ hemostatic status and the specific treatment agents (e.g. FFP, cryoprecipitate, platelets) that are needed.
