Thromboelastography to Assess Hemostatic Changes in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Delivery.
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00767832
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to assess the coagulation changes that occur in patients
undergoing elective 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.
