TEG Flashcards
PT/INR test
Measures intrinsic clotting
Factors 2, 7, 10
PTT test
Measures intrinsic clotting
Factors 2, 9, 10, 12
For component measurement tests
PT/INR
PTT
Fibrinogen concentration
Platelet count
TEG parameters
R: reaction time (coagulation factors)
Alpha: speed of fibrin accumulation (fibrinogen)
K: time elapsed for clot to reached fixed strength (fibrinogen)
MA: highest amplitude (platelets)
LY30: % amplitude reduction 30min after max (fibrinolysis)
Rapid TEG
Tissue factor in place of kaolin
R value replaced by TEG-ACT
Platelet mapping
Degree platelet fxn inhibited by pharmacologic inhibition of AA&ADP
AA: aspirin
ADP: Clopidogrel
ADP receptor inhibitors
Clopidogrel
Ticlopidine
Arachinodic pathway inhibitors
Aspirin
GPIIbIIIa inhibitors
Abciximab
Tirofiban
Eptifibatide
Contributors to clot strength
Platelets: 80-90%
Fibrin: 10-20%
