Q

how does TEG machine work

A

Cup oscillates • Pin is attached to torsion
wire • Clot binds pin to cup • Degree and magnitude
of pin motion are functions of the clot kinetics and mechanical properties
• System generates a hemostasis profile

platelet mapping measures

A

Measures the effect of antiplatelet agents on platelet function • Measures the patient’s maximum platelet function as a
reference point
• Measures the percentage of inhibition relative to the patient’s reference point

60
Q

platelet mapping antiplatelet drugs, ADP receptor inhibitors

A

Examples: clopidogrel, ticlopidine

61

platelet mapping antiplatelet drugs, Arachidonic acid pathway inhibitors

A

• Example: aspirin

Q

platelet mapping antiplatelet drugs, GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors

A

63
Q

why platelet mapping

A
  • Individual response to antiplatelet drugs determines clinical outcome
  • Knowing percent of platelet inhibition is insufficient to determine therapeutic efficacy
  • Knowledge of maximum platelet function is also required as a reference point
64

65
Q

rotational elastometry ROTEM

A

• Stationary cup, rotating spindle • Clot impedes rotation of the pin • Additional tests available

66
Q

INTEM

A

contains phospholipid and ellagic acid as activators amd provides info. similar to that of the APTT

67
Q

EXTEM

A

contains tissue factor as an activator and provides info. similar to that of the PT

68
Q

HEPTEM

A

contains lyophilised heparinase for neutralizing heparin

69
Q

APTEM

A

contains aprotinin for inhibiting fibrinolysis

70
Q

FIBTEM

A

utilises cytochalasin D, a platelet inhibitor which blocks platelet contribution to clot formation. this allows qualitative analysis of the functional fibrinogen component

71
Q

ECATEM

A

contains ecarin so it is similar to ecarin clotting time. this makes it sensitive to presence of direct thrombin inhiitors
