Monitoring of Hemostasis by Rotational Thrombelastometry During Normal Pregnancy and Postpartum

Abstract

Background: Rotational thrombelastometry (ROTEM) is a real-time clotting test that provides insight into clotting factors, the fibrinolytic system and platelet function. We obtained the longitudinal values on ROTEM in normal pregnancy and in puerperium.
