Transmittance waveform is the term applied to the optical profile generated from the process of clot formation on standard coagulation tests run on the MDA-180, a new-generation automated coagulation analyser. In patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation, a characteristically abnormal 'biphasic change' is seen on both the activated partial thromboplastin time and thrombin time waveforms. Increasing sleepness of the initial slope on the waveforms correlates with clinical deterioration and fulminant progression. Although the mechanism underlying the biphasic appearance remains to be elucidated, its identification provides the diagnostic laboratory with a simple, rapid and robust assay for disseminated intravascular coagulation that can help the clinician with urgent and appropriate therapeutic interventions.
