Featured paper: A ROTEM-guided algorithm aimed to reduce blood product utilization during neonatal and infant cardiac surgery

How do you give the tiniest hearts exactly the blood products they need, and no more? In this episode, we explore a ROTEM-guided “blood roadmap” that personalizes transfusion during neonatal and infant heart surgery. Learn how real-time clot metrics cut platelet and cryo use, raise ICU hematocrit, and reduce chest tube bleeding, bringing safer, targeted care to babies on bypass.
