Trial ID or NCT#
Status
Purpose
The purpose of the study is to assess potential age-related differences on coagulation profile of patients undergoing Cesarean Section, using thromboelastography (TEG). The investigators will compare coagulation data collected from the study to assess potential differences in coagulation parameters for the following age groups: (i) women less than 35 yrs (ii) women 35 yrs or older.
Official Title
Thromboelastography to Assess Age-Related Coagulation Differences in Patients Undergoing Elective Cesarean Delivery.
Eligibility Criteria
- * All obstetric patients with singleton pregnancies admitted to the labor and delivery unit at LPCH who undergo elective Cesarean delivery with neuraxial anesthesia.* We will enroll only healthy patients with singleton pregnancies and whose pregnancy is not result of in vitro fertilization.
