We have demonstrated that TEG _6s R has significant correlation with DOAC blood concentrations and has potential for monitoring the DOAC's effect on hemostasis with reasonable sensitivity in the small sample analyzed. This novel technology is easy to use on a small volume of whole blood without requiring a specialized laboratory. Further study is warranted to correlate R with clinical outcomes.
