A summary of the thromboelastography parameters for patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing mild therapeutic hypothermia (MTH) during and after treatment (normothermia [NT])

Parameter	MTH	NT
R [min]	9.9 ± 2.0	9.1 ± 2.4
α [deg]	54 ± 8	65 ± 7*
K [min]	2.8 ± 1.1	2.0 ± 0.7*
MA [mm]	63 ± 7	69 ± 6*
CI [s−1]	−3.5 ± 2.4	−1.1 ± 2.8*
LY60 [%]	1.4 ± 1.4	3.7 ± 2.3*
CLT [min]	479 ± 446	630 ± 502

The data shown are the mean and standard deviation;

^*p < 0.05 (NT vs. MTH)

α — angle to define clot kinetics; CI — coagulation index; CLT — clot lysis time; LY⁶⁰ — rate of clot stability after 60 min; K — time to reach 20 mm amplitude; MA — maximum amplitude; R — time to define clot kinetics. All abbreviations are defined in Table 2.
