Application of thromboelastography in evaluation of coagulation status in late pregnant women

Objective To explore the application value of thromboelastography (TEG) in evaluation of coagulation status in late pregnancy women.Methods The results of TEG detection and coagulation function test were analyzed retrospectively in 84 late pregnancy women.The difference in detecting abnormal coagulation function was compared between the two methods.Results There were 10 late pregnancy women (11.9％) with abnormal coagulation function detected by TEG detection,and 26 (31.0％) with abnormal coagulation function detected by routine coagulation function test.The difference in detection rate of abnormal coagulation function was statistically significant between the two methods(x2 =4.53,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hypercoagulable status in late pregnancy women detected by TEG detection was better than detected by routine coagulation function test.
