Coagulation support algorithm with rapid TEG and functional fibrinogen TEG in critical bleeding: more results and less time
2015
Early coagulation support is essential in massively bleeding patients. A Coagulation Support Algorithm (CSA), integrating rapid TEG (r-TEG) and functional fibrinogen TEG (ff-TEG) could shorten the time to a tailored treatment (Figure (Figure11).

Methods
A retrospective comparison of the time to available TEG and Standard Coagulation Tests (SCT: INR, aPTTr, fibrinogen level) results in two groups of bleeding and coagulopathic patients using citrate kaolin-TEG (k-TEG) or the CSA protocol (r-TEG/ff-TEG). Statistical analysis was performed with Student's t test for unpaired samples.
