title: [Is thromboelastography able to influence management of patients in cardiology and cardiosurgery?].
abstract: Thromboelastography (TEG) is perceived as a non-specific test of hemostasis. It evaluates the global hemocoagulation, however by some modifications could be its diagnostic potential greater. With new inovations isTEG except more precise analysis of participation of blood components on final coagulation (for example rotational TEG) capable also to assess the antiplatelet drug nonresponsiveness (for example platelet mapping system). It gives more accurate information about prothrombotic conditions than routine laboratory techniques in state of ventricular assist device implantation.
