Two of the most commonly used viscoelastic hemostatic assays, thromboelastometry (ROTEM) and thrombelastography (TEG), have proven to decrease allogenic blood transfusions with cost reduction and possibly decrease mortality and morbidity in cardiac, trauma, and other bleeding patients. This article compares the two devices to provide guidance on the selection and use of these monitoring systems. Their second-generation assays, TEG 6S and ROTEM Sigma, are also discussed.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System II:Types of Echocardiography

Echocardiography plays a role in assessing cardiac health and detecting heart conditions, with various types providing critical insights for diagnosis and treatment.
Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for...

Electrocardiogram01:29

Electrocardiogram

An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a critical diagnostic tool that records the electrical signals produced by the heart during each heartbeat. This recording is achieved through electrodes placed strategically on the arms, legs, and chest. The electrocardiograph amplifies these signals and produces 12 distinct tracings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the heart's electrical activity.
Three major waveforms are present in a typical ECG recording: the P wave, the QRS complex, and...
