Abstract:
Objective To establish a reference range for the normal value of thromboelastography (TEG) in pregnant females.Methods According to the results of pregnancy and physical examination,166 pregnant females and 64 healthy females without pregnancy were selected as the pregnant group and the non-pregnant control group,respectively.The TEG value and the traditional coagulation index were measured.The TEG parameters of the two groups were compared and analyzed,establishing a reference range for the parameters.We further analyzed the effect of full-term pregnancy on TEG results and the correlation between traditional coagulation index and TEG test results.Results The traditional coagulation index and TEG test results of the pregnant females andthe non-pregnant females were significantly different.According to the results,a new TEG reference range was established:R 3.9-7.5 min,K 1.0-2.4 min,α 57.6°-74.9°,MA 55.7-75.7 mm,LY30 0-0.56％,CI(-0.97)-3.6.Full-term pregnancy had no significant effect on TEG results.In addition to LY30,other parameters of TEG had some correlation with the traditional coagulation index.Conclusions The general TEG reference range does not apply to pregnant females and established TEG normal reference range for pregnant females can be applied for clinical use.
