Abstract:COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (CAC), mainly characterized by hypercoagulability leading to micro- and macrovascular thrombotic events due to the fibrinolysis shutdown phenomenon, is a life-threatening complication of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, optimal criteria to assess patients with the highest risk for progression of severe CAC are still unclear. Bedside point-of-care viscoelastic testing (VET) appears to be a promising tool to recognize CAC, to support the appropriate therapeutic decisions, an… Show more
