Module 2: (00:13:34 - 00:31:57) - Principles of Viscoelastic Monitoring
Dr. Anil Handoo was the first speaker for the 1st session of the day. He spoke about what all to keep in mind in coagulopathy. The tests to be performed for coagulation tests and the reliability on them. The ROTEM standard parameters were displayed in the typical TEMogram.

Dr. Sanjiv Saigal introduced and invited Dr. Shweta Singh to begin the 2nd session of the day. Dr. Shweta began her talk by taking the audience through a couple of cases. She spoke about classification of POC coagulation tests. Various literature was also shared by Dr. Shweta Singh. Other interventions in patients with CLD were spoken about. She also shared her CLBS experience with the audience. Dr. Shweta Singh explained the advantages of ROTEM. Dr. Sanjiv Saigal thanked Dr. Shweta Singh for her talk.

Questions raised during the session were answered very well by Dr. Shweta Singh.

Module 7: (02:00:05-02:30:04) Role of Viscoelastic Monitoring in CTVS

Dr. Rajesh Chand and Dr. Shweta Singh welcomed and introduced Dr. Pooja Natrajan. She started her session by showing evidence for importance of platelet function testing and viscoelastic tests. Dr. Pooja Natrajan also threw light on the factors which should be considered for cardiac surgery. She also spoke about the point-of-care coagulometry bedside device.
She summarized the treatments to give in different conditions.

Several questions were raised by the panelists which were answered by her very well and in detail.
