  1. Data presented as mean ± SD. ACT, activated clotting time; CSAT, Coagulation Support Algorithm total time; SCT, standard coagulation tests; TMA, time to maximum amplitude. r: r-TEG versus k-TEG, P = 0.0000003; r-TEG versus SCT, P = 0.000000001; k-TEG versus SCT, P = 0.000000009; TMA: r-TEG versus k-TEG, P = 0.0001; r-TEG versus SCT, P = 0.00000004; k-TEG versus SCT, P = 0.000002; ACT versus r of k-TEG (seconds), P = 0.000004; CSAT versus k-TMA, P = 0.00000005.
