VIC (Viscoelastic Clotting)

VIC, or Viscoelastic Clotting, is a test that measures how well blood clots and then breaks down over time. It provides real-time information about the entire clotting process, including clot strength and stability. This helps doctors quickly evaluate bleeding issues or risk of clotting problems, guiding treatment decisions more effectively than traditional tests. Essentially, VIC offers a comprehensive snapshot of blood’s ability to form and dissolve clots, which is critical in managing conditions like bleeding disorders, surgeries, or trauma.
