An example method detecting a presence of one or more oral anticoagulants or intravenous (IV) direct thrombin inhibitors in a blood sample may include the following operations: receiving parameters that are based on viscoelastic tests; comparing the parameters to predefined threshold values, where the parameters and the predefined threshold values are based on an identity of the one or more oral anticoagulants or the IV direct thrombin inhibitors; and detecting, based on the comparing, the presence of the one or more oral anticoagulants or IV direct thrombin inhibitors in the blood sample. The viscoelastic tests are performed on portions of the blood sample to obtain the parameters. The viscoelastic tests include both a viscoelastic test based on Ecarin activation and a viscoelastic test with low tissue factor activation.
