Postoperative hemorrhage in cardiac surgery is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Standard laboratory tests fail as predictors for bleeding in the surgical setting. The use of viscoelastic (VE) hemostatic assays thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) could be an advantage in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The objective of this meta-analysis was to analyze the effects (benefits and harms) of VE-guided transfusion practice in cardiac surgery patients.

IN THIS ISSUE of the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, van Vessem et al.1 conducted a retrospective cohort study investigating the risk factors of vasoplegia in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for functional mitral regurgitation. In their study, vasoplegia was defined as administration of norepinephrine ≥0.2 μg/kg/min and/or any dose of terlipressin combined with a cardiac index ≥2.2 L/min/m2 for at least 12 consecutive hours, starting within the first 3 days after surgery.
