In Hull we've had two TEGs in cardiac theatres for a few years.
Very useful in targeting coagulation product use .....have saved around £40,000 per annum in blood and blood products since introduction.

Hi Helen
We have a bank of TEGs in Cardiac Theatres and another in Hybrid Theatres. Samples are also referred from other specialities to be processed on these analysers. Obstetrics and to a lesser extent ED (also a major trauma centre) have seen the biggest increase in workload over the past year.
Best wishes

Subject: ROTEMS and TEGS
Dear all
We have been approached by our emergency department about installing a ROTEM with in their department. We are a major trauma centre and it is believed that by performing this test the Trust may be able to target blood products and components more effectively. Are any trusts out there using TEGS or ROTEMS in either ED or theatres for trauma. The latest NICE guidelines indicate further work is needed to confirm the use of the systems for these patients but I would appreciate any input or experience for other POCT co-ordinators and managers
Many thanks
