ABSTRACT
Acute coagulopathy of trauma in children are of potential importance to clinical outcome, but knowledge is limited and has only been investigated using conventional coagulation testing (CCT). The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and impact of arrival coagulopathy, determined by viscoelastic hemostatic testing, in severely injured children.
