Parameters derived from thromboelastography are mainly:<ref name="pmid32988649">{{cite journal| author=Tyler PD, Yang LM, Snider SB, Lerner AB, Aird WC, Shapiro NI| title=New Uses for Thromboelastography and Other Forms of Viscoelastic Monitoring in the Emergency Department: A Narrative Review. | journal=Ann Emerg Med | year= 2021 | volume= 77 | issue= 3 | pages= 357–366 | pmid=32988649 | doi=10.1016/j.annemergmed.2020.07.026 | pmc= | doi-access=free }} </ref>
* '''R time''': Time to initial clot formation (that is, amplitude deviation from baseline)
* '''K time''': Time from initial clot formation until reaching 20 mm in amplitude
* '''Alpha angle (α)''': Angle between the baseline at initial clot formation, and a tangent line that intersects the tracing curve.
* '''Maximum amplitude (MA)''': Maximum deviation of tracing to baseline.
* '''A<sub>30</sub>''': Amplitude 30 minutes after reaching maximum amplitude.
