We are actively looking at using TEG here at BMC, having been brought into the loop by a friend and former Army buddy, Phil Spinella (worked with Holcomb et all extensively on the 1:1:1 resuscitation algorithms).  We are going over the data - and the budget - and  I am hoping to have it in the ED and ICU by year's end.

Who has experience with the TEG for trauma patients? Our cardiac surgeons have been using it for three years and we are trialing it for managing major trauma resuscitations. Preliminary results are very promising. We also have been impressed with its ability to detect hypercoaguable states and to focus VTE prevention measures.
