What is R-Time
normal range; give:
Time it takes to start forming a clot
(time it takes until fibrin formation)
5-10 minutes
Give: FFP
What is K-time?
Normal range? Give:
Time until clot reaches a measurable strength
usually 20mm
1-3 minutes
Give: Cryo
What is the alpha angle
normal range? Give:
Speed of clot formation/fibrin formation
how fast the clot is being made
50-70 degrees; Cryo
What is MA?
Normal range; give:
Maximum amplitude
-measures the maximum strength of the clot formation
correlates with platelets
50-70mm; platelets
What is LY30?
Normal range; Give:
The % of clot lysis 30mins following the max amplitude
0-8%; Give: TXA, Amicar
