Redefining postinjury fibrinolysis phenotypes using two viscoelastic assays

CONCLUSION We confirmed the U-shaped distribution of death related to fibrinolysis system abnormalities. Both rTEG LY30 and EXTEM CLI60 can identify the spectrum of fibrinolytic phenotypes, have moderate agreement, and can be used to guide hemostatic resuscitation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic study, level III.
