note = "INR and PTT correlate positively with thromboelastography R-time in elderly trauma patients on pre-existing blood thinning medications. * Compared to conventional coagulation tests, thromboelastography has a greater, but non-significant, specificity in identifying hemorrhage progression in elderly trauma patients on pre-existing blood thinning medications. Thromboelastography (TEG) may have a role in managing injured patients on pre-existing anticoagulant/antiplatelet agents.",
