TEG® Parameters
To evaluate the graphic
information displayed by the TEG® system,
five main parameters of clot formation and lysis
are measured:
| R | R time is the period of time of latency from the time that the blood was placed in the TEG® cup until the initial fibrin formation. |
| K | K time is a measure of the speed to reach a certain level of clot strength. |
| alpha | alpha measures the rapidity of fibrin build-up and cross-linking (clot strengthening) |
| MA | MA, or Maximum Amplitude, is a direct function of the maximum dynamic properties of fibrin and platelet bonding via GPIIb/IIIa and represents the ultimate strength of the fibrin clot. |
| LY30 | LY30 measures the rate of amplitude reduction 30 minutes after MA. |
