Standard TEG w/Heparinase & PLT Map
MessagePerformed in Coagulation
BUMCP ONLY: Samples may be transported through the pneumatic tube system however you must call 839-3471 PRIOR to collection. Send the sample at room temperature immediately after collection. Place a green TEG slip in the sample bag to ensure priority handling. If you transport by hand to the Laboratory, ensure you deliver directly to Coagulation.
NOTE: Other locations MUST walk the specimens to lab - DO NOT TUBE DOWN.

Preferred Specimen
| · 3.2 % Sodium Citrate (Blue Top Tube, full tube required) |
| · Sodium Heparin Tube (at least 14.7 IU of Heparin/ml green Top Tube, No GEL, full tube required) |
Instructions
For samples drawn by venipuncture, use a 21-gauge needle. The first 3 mL of blood should not be used for TEG testing due to the possible contaminants in the sample during normal phlebotomy. Draw a discard tube if the only sample being drawn will be for TEG testing.
For line draws the first 7 mL of blood should be discarded.
Note: Transport at room temperature immediately after collection. DO NOT CENTRIFUGE.

Specimen Stability

Clinical Significance
In the presence of heparin, provides a comprehensive, functional assessment of hemostasis to determine the presence of antiplatelet medications and assist in directing therapy in cardiovascular patients.
