This PRO argument supports the routine incorporation of point-of-care viscoelastic testing (VET) into perioperative bleeding management algorithms for all cardiac surgery patients. This group of patients remains among the highest consumers of allogeneic blood products, and transfusion is independently associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and cost. Standard laboratory tests have significant limitations in diagnosing coagulopathy and are not designed to guide intraoperative bleeding management.
