A refined phenomenological model of viscoelastic clot formation and lysis in trauma-induced coagulopathy
Background Hyperfibrinolysis is strongly associated with early post-injury mortality, but the condition is preventable with timely detection and targeted interventions. Unfortunately, current hyperfibrinolysis diagnostic assays such as thromboelastography (TEG) are time-consuming, making them infeasible for use in real-time treatment strategies to guide adjustable, precise, and personalized interventions. Computational models offer a fast alternative to current practice for ascertaining patient hemostatic state fro …
