Thromboelastography as a part of management of amniotic fluid embolism

Abstract: Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an obstetrical catastrophe characterized by acute hypotension, hypoxia, and coagulopathy occurring during labor, cesarean section, post-delivery, or during amniocentesis. Thromboelastography (TEG) is a bedside test of global homeostasis and has seldom been used to study coagulation in AFE despite increasing popularity in other diseases. We report TEG usage as part of a treatment for patients with AFE.
