Core Tip	Viscoelastic testing (VET) provides rapid, whole-blood assessment of the entire coagulation process, offering a real-time and comprehensive evaluation that surpasses conventional coagulation tests in the medical intensive care unit. VET identifies hidden hypocoagulable and hypercoagulable states and fibrinolysis resistance, enabling targeted, precision-based therapies in diverse intensive care unit populations, including sepsis, coronavirus disease 2019, and liver disease. Despite technical and economic challenges, VET-guided management reduces unnecessary transfusions, optimizes resource utilization, and holds promise for integrating artificial intelligence to deliver individualized, advanced hemostatic care for critically ill patients.
