THROMBOELASTOGRAPHY (TEG)
General Principle
• A small cuvette is rotated to simulate sluggish venous flow and stimulate clot
and stimulate clot ... the mass of the clot ... the kinetics of clot ... information about clot ... latency until clot
Normal Thromboelastogram - Specific parameters represent the 3 phases of the cell-based model of haemostasis: initiation,
certain level of clot ... assesses the rate of clot ... of the fibrin clot ... stability of the clot ... = clot lysis time
