    AbstractVET with ROTEM and TEG have become more integrated into the practice guidelines of multiple medical associations with increasing levels of evidence and recommendation for their use to manage perioperative bleeding. VET, in conjunction with SLT, provides a clearer picture of why a patient bleeds and how to best resolve it. In the clinical setting of CVTS, ROTEM has been shown to reduce transfusion rates and reduce costs associated with transfusion products and transfusion-related adverse events while improving patient outcomes. Incorporating VET into a hospital-wide transfusion restrictive strategy has been proven to be cost-effective and clinically beneficial but requires a multi-level commitment for planning, education and implementation.
