Correlation and agreement between the TEG® 5000 and the TEG® 6s during liver transplant surgery.

The TEG® 5000 and novel TEG® 6s measure the viscoelasticity of whole blood during in vitro clot formation. The two devices measure similar coagulation variables but utilize distinctly different technologies. This study aimed to determine the correlation and agreement between the thrombelastographic parameters obtained by the two devices during liver transplant surgery.
