Bleeding and thromboembolic complications frequently occur after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and substantially contribute to poor outcome. Viscoelastic testing could be used for detection of coagulopathies after SAH. This review summarizes literature on the usefulness of viscoelastic testing to de...
