| Summary, etc. | At the end of 2013, a group of Italian clinicians sharing a common interest in<br/>hemostasis and coagulation in critically ill patients began meeting periodically (first in Padua, then in different locations). During these meetings, the<br/>group agreed that there was a growing interest in point-of-care (POC) coagulation tests, as well as a great need for acquiring knowledge and expertise<br/>from various clinicians involved in patient care in different fields, such as<br/>cardiac surgery, intensive care unit, postpartum hemorrhage, liver surgery,<br/>trauma, and other disciplines. At the beginning of 2014, this group was officially formed and named “INTACT” (the Italian Network to Address<br/>Coagulopathy Treatment). To fulfill its educational role, the group decided it<br/>was time to join efforts to create a single textbook addressing the use of POC<br/>coagulation tests in different clinical scenarios. It was in fact clearly evident<br/>that the information in this field was quite sparse and that all interested clinicians were forced to navigate through published articles, textbook chapters,<br/>meeting sessions, and the Internet to find the information they needed.<br/>Conversely, the INTACT group aimed to compile all relevant information<br/>about POC coagulation tests in a single textbook, written both from a technical standpoint and a clinical point of view in regard to different clinical<br/>scenarios.<br/>The present textbook Point-of-Care Tests for Severe Hemorrhage: A<br/>Manual for Diagnosis and Treatment is the result of the INTACT group’s<br/>dedicated efforts toward this end. Each of the various chapters’ contributors<br/>are clinicians who are involved daily in the clinical management of severe<br/>hemorrhage in different areas, and while the content of this manual is based<br/>primarily on existing evidence, it also includes valuable personal points of<br/>view based on the authors’ daily clinical practice. For each clinical scenario,<br/>the authors provide introductory notes on the specific aspects of the coagulopathy involved in severe hemorrhage determination, followed by the possible POC coagulation test applications as a guide for both diagnosis and<br/>treatment.<br/>The manual contains basic information on the general pathophysiology of<br/>hemostasis and coagulation, as well as the historical and technical aspects of<br/>practically all existing POC coagulation tests, with specific reference to viscoelastic tests and platelet function tests.<br/>Five clinical scenarios are addressed in individual chapters: intensive care<br/>unit, cardiovascular surgery, postpartum hemorrhage, trauma, and liver<br/>surgery. Additionally, the treatment strategies (blood derivatives and |
| Expansion of summary note | prohemostatic drugs) are discussed and the effects of antithrombotic drugs<br/>assessed. Lastly, the manual offers valuable insights into clinical cases drawn<br/>from the authors’ actual experiences.<br/>We thank all those who contributed to this manual and hope that the<br/>INTACT group’s efforts have fulfilled its aim of successfully contributing to<br/>a better understanding of this evolving topic. |
