Tromboelastografía

Thromboelastogram (TEG)

Life in the Fastlane - Reviewed and revised 11 July 2014

"OVERVIEW

• Thromboelastography is a viscoelastic hemostatic assay that measures the global visco-elastic properties of whole blood clot formation under low shear stress
• it shows the interaction of platelets with the coagulation cascade (aggregation, clot strengthening, fibrin cross linking and fibrinolysis)
• does not necessarily correlate with blood tests such as INR, APTT and platelet count (which are often poorer predictors of bleeding and thrombosis)
• This page describes TEG® predominantly, ROTEM® is the alternative viscoelastic hemostatic assay that is widely available"
