TEG variablesNormal rangePatient valueCoagulopathyHemostatic therapy
3-9 minutes 10-14 minutes Coagulation factors ↓ FFP 10-20 mL/kg 
  >14 minutes Coagulation factors ↓↓ FFP 30 mL/kg 
Angle 55°-78° <52° Fibrinogen ↓ FFP 20-30 mL/kg 
Functional fibrinogen MA 14-27 mm <14 mm Fibrinogen ↓ FFP 20-20 mL/kg or cryoprecipitate pool (3-5 mL/kg) or fibrinogen concentrate (adults 1-2 g) 
KaolinTEG MA* 51-69 mm 45-49 mm Platelets ↓ 1 PC or 5 mL/kg 
  <45 mm Platelets ↓↓ 2 PC or 10 mL/kg

Goal-directed TEG-based guideline for hemostatic resuscitation with plasma, platelets, cryoprecipitate pool, fibrinogen concentrate, and tranexamic acid in bleeding patients used at hospitals in the Capital Region of Denmark.

*

In patients with normal functional fibrinogen MA.
