| Abstrakt: | Background: Thromboelastography (TEG) is utilized as a point-of-care test of coagulation function to improve evidence-based blood product replacement in adults. In contrast to standard indices of coagulation, TEG reflects the dynamic interactions among the elements involved in hemostasis, including fibrinolysis. Although normal adult values and various abnormalities have been characterized, normative values for term neonates have not been described. Studies of neonatal TEG remain limited and have small sample sizes with inconsistent methodology. The aim of this study is to provide normative data on healthy term neonates, and to assess the impact of mode of delivery on TEG parameters at term. Methods: Venous umbilical blood was obtained from the placenta within 10 min of delivery. TEG analysis of citrated kaolin-activated samples was performed for 50 healthy term vaginal and 50 cesarean deliveries. Samples collected for cesarean sections were from scheduled cases or unscheduled ones due to failure of progression of labor. Results: Healthy neonates with uncomplicated vaginal term deliveries resulted in the following TEG parameters: R: 5.41 ± 1.34 (mean ± SD) min; K: 1.62 ± 0.75 min; α-angle: 65.39 ± 8.77°; MA: 65.86 ± 5.81 mm; and LY30: 1.40 ± 1.18%. Results for the cesarean delivery neonatal TEG assays showed: R: 5.51 ± 1.74 (mean ± SD) min; K: 1.52 ± 0.47 min; α-angle: 64.15 ± 4.61°; MA: 64.15 ± 4.61 mm; and LY30: 2.44 ± 3.51%. Of note, no statistical differences were observed (p < .01) between the groups. Conclusion: TEG measurements from term neonates were no different when the neonates were delivered vaginally or by cesarean section. Labor had no effect on neonatal TEG levels. Neonatal TEG values may therefore serve as insight for fetal values at the appropriate postconceptional age. |
