Thromboelastography in Non-elective Cesarean Delivery
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT01514591
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to assess the coagulation changes that occur in laboring patients
undergoing non-elective (intrapartum)Cesarean delivery using thromboelastography (TEG). We
will compare coagulation data to assess potential coagulation changes associated with
hemoglobin changes before and after surgery, and related to estimated blood loss.
