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. We obtained blood samples at six predefined intervals during the surgery of 10 consecutive patients. Two operators proficient in the use of the TEG® 6s and TEG® 5000 systems performed thrombelastographic measurements on each sample: non-citrated TEG® 5000, citrated TEG® 5000 and citrated TEG® 6s. Agreement and correlation were assessed using Bland Altman plots and Lin’s concordance correlation. There was considerable inter-device variability for the different parameters measured by the TEG® 5000 and TEG® 6s devices. Acceptable agreement was observed when results were within the normal reference ranges. However, with increasing coagulopathy, agreement was poor and results could not be considered interchangeable. Although each of the three tests appeared reliable for qualitative detection of abnormalities of clot formation during liver transplant surgery, we found their quantitative results were not interchangeable. |
