Observational StudyUtility of viscoelastography with TEG 6s to direct management of haemostasis during obstetric haemorrhage: a prospective observational study.
The TEG 6s is an automated cartridge-based device with limited description of use in obstetric haemorrhage. The aim of this analysis was to describe the utility of TEG 6s in identifying abnormal laboratory results of coagulation and platelet count, and inform an interventional treatment algorithm for postpartum haemorrhage. ⋯ The TEG 6s CFF can be used to identify low fibrinogen during obstetric haemorrhage. A value to identify transfusion thresholds for PT/aPTT and platelets was not established, and laboratory results should continue to be used.
