Abstract
This pilot study provides proof-of-concept that thromboelastography can discriminate differences in blood anticoagulated with varying doses of dalteparin in a dose-dependent manner. This suggests that thromboelastography may be a feasible monitor of anticoagulation in the presence of dalteparin in maternal whole blood and may potentially translate to a point-of-care test that can be used to determine real-time coagulation status in patients.
