Table 1: Evaluated Parameters of Thromboelastography Versus Rotational Thromboelastometry Testing.

Clot phase Measurement TEG ROTEM
Initiation Time from start to 2 mm clot length Reaction time Clot time
Kinetics Time from 2 mm to 20 mm clot length Clot formation time Clot formation time
Angle of propagation from 2 mm to 20 mm clot formation Alpha angle Alpha angle
Strength Amplitude measured at peak clot strength Maximum amplitude Maximum clot firmness
Calculated from maximum amplitude G Maximum clot elasticity
Lysis/stability Percentage of loss of amplitude at fixed time after maximum amplitude Lysis at 30 min, estimated percentage of lysis Lysis index at 30 min, maximum lysis

G = shear elastic modulus parameter; ROTEM = rotational thromboelastometry; TEG = thromboelastography.
