TEG showed shortened clotting time (R) indicating increased rate of thrombin generation. Clot lysis indices (LY30 = 18.8 % and CI > 1) suggest secondary fibrinolysis, commonly seen in the first phase of sepsis or in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The excessive rate of clot breakdown clinically may present as bleeding.

TEG showed worsening coagulopathy (overt DIC) which is evidenced by prolonged R (coagulation factors consumption) high K and low angle ( low fibrinogen ) and low MA ( platelets consumption).
