Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at high risk of postoperative bleeding, which is related to worse prognosis and survival. The use of ROTEM®, together with the implementation of a specific treatment algorithm, to reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding. An observational, comparative, cross-case study with historical controls. A total of 1772 consecutive patients admitted to intensive care unit after having undergone cardiac surgery, was divided into 3 groups: Group 1: Coagulation was only monitored by the classical coagulation test (control group). Group 2: Monitorization was done by ROTEM®, according to a protocol designed in our center. Group 3: VerifyNow® was added to ROTEM®, implementing a specific treatment algorithm. We observed a decreased of red blood cell transfusion (Group 1 55.5%, Group 2 52.7%, Group 3 46.6%, P<0.01). Postoperative results include a significant reduction in complications with a marked improvement in overall survival in the ROTEM® - guided groups. Conclusions: Monitoring of hemostasis by POCT'S (ROTEM® and VerifyNow®) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and cardiac transplantation was associated with a decreased incidence of blood transfusion, postoperative clinical complications, and mortality.
