To Clot or Not: HELLP Syndrome and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in an Eclamptic Patient with Intrauterine Fetal Demise

Table 2

Normal reference TEG values established for a parturient versus nongravid patient [26–30] (adapted from Katz et al. [30]).

	R-time^a (minutes)	K-time^b (minutes)	Alpha-angle (degrees)	Maximal amplitude (mm)	LY30^c (%)
Nongravid patient	6.7 (3.8–9.8)	2.0 (0.7–3.4)	62.3 (47.8–77.7)	60.6 (49.7–72.7)	1.2 (−2.3–5.7)
Term pregnancy	7.0 (1.0–13.0)	2.0 (0.2–3.8)	64.8 (47.6–82.0)	75.4 (64.6–86.2)	1.6 (0–8.8)

^aR-time = reaction time, ^bK-time = kinetics time, and ^cLY30 = lysis 30 minutes after maximal amplitude. Values are listed as mean with (95% CI).
