A team of trained professional research assistants completed the viscoelastic assays. Citrated blood samples were analyzed using the TEG 5000 Thrombelastography Hemostasis Analyzer (Haemonetics, Niles, IL, USA) as previously described [22 (link)]. The rapid TEG (activated by tissue factor and kaolin) was employed and the following indices were obtained from the tracings of the TEG: activated clotting time [ACT (s)], angle (°), maximum amplitude [MA (mm)], and lysis 30 min after MA [LY30 (%)]. Definitions for fibrinolysis phenotypes by rTEG were shutdown (≤ 0.9%), physiologic (> 0.9–≤ 2.9%), and hyperfibrinolysis (≥ 3%) as previously described [15 (link)].
