<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Viscoelastic hemostatic assays, such as ROTEM or TEG, enable prompt diagnosis and accelerate targeted treatment. However, the complex interpretation of results remains challenging. Visual Clot - a situation awareness-based visualization technology was developed to assist clinicians in interpreting viscoelastic tests. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> Following previous high-fidelity simulation study, we analyzed users' perceptions identify its strengths limitations from clinicians' perspectives. <title>METHODS</title> This is mixed qualitative-quantitative study consisting interviews an online survey. After solving coagulation scenarios using simulations, interviewed anesthesia personnel about perceived advantages disadvantages new tool. We used template approach dominant themes interview responses. Out these themes, then defined five main statements, which were rated on Likert scales questionnaire. <title>RESULTS</title> 77 participants 23 completed identified nine frequently mentioned topics by analyzing The most common ``positive design features``, ``intuitive easy learn`` ``lack quantitative component ``. In survey, 70% agreed that learn combination would help manage situations. <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> A group care providers found well-designed, intuitive learn. Participants highlighted usefulness emergencies, especially for inexperienced management. lack information area improvement.
