#Epi 106 - ICU Primary Snippet - ROTEM: Platelet Dysfunction, Heparin and Hyperfibrinolysis

In this episode, we discuss viscoelastic testing in ICU using ROTEM. We cover the main assays (EXTEM, INTEM, FIBTEM, APTEM and HEPTEM), the key parameters (CT, CFT, A10, MCF and ML), and the expected changes and underlying mechanisms in platelet dysfunction, therapeutic heparin use and hyperfibrinolysis.
