Figure 1 ROTEM-based algorithm for goal-directed coagulation management in traumatic brain injury [6,9,10,19–21]. CT – clotting time; A10 – clot amplitude 10 min after CT; ML – maximum lysis; MCF – maximum clot firmness; PLT – platelets; TXA – tranaxemic acid; FC – fibrinogen concentrate; Cryo – cryoprecipitate; PCC – prothrombin complex concentrate; FPP – fresh frozen plasma. * Depending on the availability of coagulation factor concentrates.
