Thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) are pointofcare
viscoelastic devices that use whole blood samples to assess coagulation and fibrinolysis …

BACKGROUND: Hemostatic disorders are common in obstetric complications.
Thromboelastography (TEG®) simultaneously measures coagulation and fibrinolysis within …

BACKGROUND: Assessment of maternal coagulation to determine suitability for neuraxial
anaesthesia and management of obstetric haemorrhage remains a challenge …

Viscoelastic testing (VET), including thromboelastography and thromboelastometry,
provides a rapid and comprehensive picture of whole blood coagulation dynamics and …

Hemostasis is a dynamic age-related process, which gradually evolves from fetal life
throughout childhood until adulthood. Although at birth there is a hemostatic deficit of most …

Objective: To review the current literature on the use of viscoelastic hemolytic assays, such
as thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), during the …

Background Post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) causes rapidly developing deficiencies in
clotting factors and contributes to substantial maternal morbidity and mortality. Rotational …

There has been little published work defining 'normal'thromboelastography (TEG®) values
in healthy parturients, and few large studies defining reference ranges for traditional …

Hemorrhage is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality during the perioperative period.
Current methods of diagnosing coagulopathy have various limitations including long …

Background: Patients with substantive bleeding usually require transfusion and/or (re-)
operation. Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is independently associated with a greater risk …
