Typical results of thromboelastography. a Thromboelastography for normal coagulation function. b Thromboelastography for normal coagulation disorders. CFF: functional fibrinogen; CK: kaolin thromboelastography; CKH: heparinase kaolin thromboelastography; CRT: rapid thromboelastography; MA: maximum amplitude, which represents maximum clot strength. MA of (CRT−CFF) represents the coagulation function of platelets by subtracting the coagulation function of fibrinogen from that of whole blood. R: reaction time, which represents the time to initiation of clot formation. R of (CKH−CK) indicates the degree of residual heparin. Since CKH measures coagulation function by antagonizing heparin, subtracting CK represents the degree of residual heparin
