Autopsy Techniques and Outcomes

Fibrinolysis was initially defined using rapid thrombelastography (rTEG). The cutoffs for the pathologic extremes of the fibrinolytic system, hyperfibrinolysis and shutdown, were both defined based on association with mortality. We propose to redefine these phenotypes for both TEG and for rotational thrombelastometry, the other commonly used viscoelastic assay.
