Just saying thanks - I’ve been an ICU nurse several years, but had never heard of the TEG before CRNA school. My life depends on quick understanding of these things and the visual explanation is invaluable. Thank-you!

[@marissacoley7386]

You are a God send! These videos are amazing. I’m a multimodal learner so I appreciate the color coded visuals and conversational explanations. So easy to listen to, visualize, and bring to conception the most complicated topics! I’m a CVICU RN and these videos have helped me so much! Thanks again!

[@ICUAdvantage]

Wow, so kind of you Marissa! Really glad to hear the style of the videos and the info was helpful for you!

Been on the field for 8 years and worked in 4 different countries, never heard or seen TEG. anyway, thank you very much for the precious information that keep us updated. Many Thanks my friend 🥰

[@ICUAdvantage]

Wow! Hopefully you start to see it soon. It really is a great tool at looking at clotting for our patients.

We use TEG a lot in the icu. Specially used in post op level 1 trauma pts

[@unlearningcommunism4742]

You have never heard about TEG because it was recognized as a valid method by FDA, although it was discovered in the 1940's. Option 1: it's a brilliant technique that nobody recognized as brilliant for, hm, 70 years? Option 2: this is overengineered, absurdly complex method that cannot work.

Eddie, can't thank you enough! I was only told that we want to see a champagne glass shape, not tear drop, not martini. Never fully understood why and what each component indicates, until now. This is a video I will be watching several times in order to fully comprehend.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Yay!! So glad to hear it was able to help things make sense for you!!

[@kaseywolf8532]

This has helped immensely! I never had TEG values become important until I joined the awesome trauma/crit care team recently.

[@ICUAdvantage]

Awesome!! Yeah TEG is quite popular in trauma and ECMO. Glad this helped!

[@jan_alexis78]

Omg! Thank u for going in depth with this TEG. I always encounter this when CVT surgeons ask for this prior to heart surgery. We don't do this test in our hospital and replace it with another test. I am learning so much in your videos!

This is so awesome to hear! Glad you liked this as well as other videos and happy to be able to help!

Is TEG something done at bedside/in surgical suite or does lab typically handle it?

Both! At least where I am, in the OR they have a machine to be able to run right there. In our units, we send the specimen off to lab to be run.
