Viscoelastic testing of fibrinolytic capacity in acutely infected critically ill patients: Protocol for a scoping review
Authors' conclusion
This scoping review aims to map the research describing viscoelastic testing (VET) to assess fibrinolysis in acutely infected critically ill patients, with the goal of identifying diagnostic capabilities, any associations with patient outcomes, and the potential to guide clinical management.
Study context
- Population
- Adults admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for acute infection (including SARS-CoV2), studies evaluating fibrinolytic capacity by viscoelastic testing (VET) assays that included a fibrinolytic agent
Methodological detailsPRISMA-ScR, no date or language restrictions, all study designs, grey literature included, Peer-reviewed search strategy in multiple electronic bibliographic databases and grey literature
