TXA

Question 6

Transfuse for elevated rapied TEG ACT > 150?

Answer 6

FFP

Question 7

rapid TEG ACT measures?

Answer 7

“activated clotting time” for initial fibrin formation

Measures clotting factors in intrinsic and extrinsice pathway

Question 8

R time?

Answer 8

"reaction time" to intial fibrin formation
clotting factors (intrinsic pathway)

Question 9

K time?

Answer 9

“Kinetic time” for fibrin cross linkage to reach 20 mm clot strength
Measures fibrinogen, platelet number

Question 10

Alpha angle?

Answer 10

Angle from baseline to slop of tracing that represents clot formation.
Measures fibrinogen, platelet number

Question 11

MA?

Answer 11

Max Amplitude of tracing

Measures platelet number and function

Question 12

G value?

Answer 12

calculated strength of clot

Measures entire coagulation system

Question 13

Lysis 30?

Answer 13

Measures lysis at 30 minutes following MA

Measures fibrinolysis
