Among patients with hemorrhagic TBI prescribed preinjury antiplatelet therapy, our study suggests that the use of a TEG-PM algorithm may reduce platelet transfusions without a concurrent increase in clinically significant hematoma expansion. Further study is required to prove a causative relationship.
