Applications of thromboelastography with TEM-A include any situation of potential or existing acute coagulation imbalance due to surgical, pharmacological or endogenous reasons.
TEM-A is an instrument measuring the mechanical activity of a coagulating material : whatever material is pipetted into the cup, the pin will release the data regarding its clotting behaviour over time. This technology is also used for instance to determine the coagulation capability of milk, as it affects the quality of parmesan cheese. Therefore it will measure the clotting behaviour of the blood sample, whatever treatment was done to it, and it will reflect the change of every single factor influencing the coagulation process.
