The present study is a prospective, multi-center observational trial comparing the times taken to diagnose coagulopathies using point-of-care (POC) viscoelastic tests or standard central laboratory tests (SCL tests) in patients with intraoperative bleeding.
patients who will undergo elective surgery with a high risk of moderate to severe amount of intraoperative bleeding or coagulopathy (e.g., cardiac surgery, joint replacement, spine surgery, hepatectomy, radical prostatectomy)
patients who provide written informed consent
patients who may warrant the intraoperative use of POC viscoelastic test or SCL test
pregnancy
withdrawal of consent
termination of surgery without performing either POC viscoelastic test or SCL tests
when the study conductor deems it inappropriate to proceed with the protocol with the patient
