Marc Wittwer: A Practical Viscoelastic-Guided Algorithm for Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy in Clinical Workflow
Marc Wittwer, Director of Commercial Operations at APIRO Diagnostics Kft., shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Nikolaus Hofmann et al, published in British Journal of Anaesthesia, adding:
”Congratulations to the authors on this outstanding contribution to trauma haemostasis research published in BJA: Nikolaus Hofmann, Herbert Schöchl, Daniel Oberladstätter, Johannes Zipperle, Felix Carl Fabian Schmitt, Maik von der Forst, Carlo Martin and Johannes Gratz.
This manuscript presents a highly pragmatic and clinically relevant TIC bleeding algorithm that successfully bridges evidence-based viscoelastic diagnostics with real-world trauma care workflows.
The proposed ClotPro-guided approach is elegant in its simplicity, rapid applicability, and strong alignment with contemporary haemostatic principles.
Particularly impressive is the focus on:
- Early identification of hypofibrinogenaemia and thrombocytopenia
- Fast point-of-care decision support within minutes
- Stepwise, targeted haemostatic interventions
- Practical usability in high-acuity trauma environments
The work represents an important step toward standardized, data-driven, and individualized management of trauma-induced coagulopathy. A valuable contribution for clinicians working in trauma, anaesthesia, emergency medicine, and critical care.”
