TEG<sup>®</sup>, Microclot and Platelet Mapping for Guiding Early Management of Severe COVID-19 Coagulopathy

An important component of severe COVID-19 disease is virus-induced endothelilitis. This leads to disruption of normal endothelial function, initiating a state of failing normal clotting physiology. Massively increased levels of von Willebrand Factor (VWF) lead to overwhelming platelet activation, as...
