TEG information Flashcards
R value in TEG
Reaction time
represents time to fibrin formation
K value
Time to achieve clot strength
Alpha angle
rate of clot formation
MA
Maximum Amplitude
Strength of the clot
LY-30
Lysis phase timing
Normal TEG
R and K prolonged
MA and alpha angle decreased
Anticoagulants use or hemophilia
R normal
K prolonged
MA decreased
Platelet blockers, thrombocytopenia
R normal
MA decreased decremental
Fibrinolysis (i.e. tPA)
R and K decreased
MA and alpha angle increased
Hypercoagulation
Stage 1 DIC (Hypercoagulable)
Stage 2 DIC (hypocoagulable)
Normal R value
normal 4-8 minutes
Treatment for prolonged R value
FFP
Normal K value
Normal: 1-4 min
Treatment for abnormal K value
Cryo/fibrinogen
Normal Alpha angle
normal: 47 - 74 degrees
Treatment for abnormal alpha angle
Cryo, fibrinogen
normal maximum amplitude
Normal: 55 - 73 minutes
Treatment for abnormal maximum amplitude
Treatment: Platelets
Normal LY30
normal: 0 - 8%
Treatment for abnormal LY30
Treatment: TXA
