ROTEM: ROTEM Tests

Study summary

Coagulation system in cirrhotics patients is a fragile state , which is rebalanced hemostasis. Standard tests (INR/aPTT) stop measuring at first stage of coagulation ,when the clot first form. VETs measure the whole process such as ROTEM, TEG and comparing these two tests to assess for transfusion of blood products for invasive procedures. . ROTEM provides information both on anti coagulant and procoagulant status where as conventional tests provide only anti coagulant status Invasive procedures can be low risk or high risk or Non surgical vs surgical, Procedure related bleed occurs in 7% of patients with cirrhosis and associated with higher 28 day mortality. MELD, CTP ,AKI , SEPSIS increase the risk of procedure related bleed. Hence for invasive procedures investigator is using relaxing threshold for blood product transfusion in cirrhosis, ACLF patients. As use of ROTEM when compared to conventional tests reduces the need for blood transfusion. Investigator want to proceed with further relaxation of cutoff values of Coagulation parameters and use High cutoff vs low cut off for blood transfusion need.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Proportion of patients with reduction in the amount of total components transfused in high cut off ROTEM compared to low cut off ROTEM in cirrhosis and ACLF patients. — Day 28
  High Cutoff defined as need of low blood transfusion products (CT-\>100sec,MCF\<25,CLI30\<40%,MCF -FIB\<6mm) and Low Cut off defined as (CT -\>80sec, MCF\<35, CLI30\<50%,MCF-FIB\<6mm)
