This study, she added, suggests there is also a degree of "fibrinolysis shutdown," as evidenced by the TEG results and elevated D-dimer levels.

Like ROTEM, TEG measures and graphically displays the changes in viscoelasticity at all stages of the developing and resolving clot. These include the time until initial fibrin formation, the kinetics ...

The TEG system can use platelet mapping to produce a picture of a patient's potential response to antiplatelet therapy relative to their overall haemostasis. Graphical and numerical results are ...

Some researchers have reported a complete suppression of fibrinolysis at 30 minutes by TEG, and this is invaluable in predicting the occurrence of thromboembolism in COVID-19.
