Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study was to determine the risk of hemorrhagic complications in pregnant women with severe preeclampsia using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) in two screening tests — EXTEM and INTEM.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 30 pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, who were observed in the intensive care unit, the Department of Obstetrics and Perinatology, the Research Institute of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductology named after D.O. Ott, Saint Petersburg. The control group consisted of 10 patients with normal pregnancy, delivered by caesarean section for reasons not related to obstetric complications.
RESULTS: When interpreting the ROTEM results, the reference intervals for pregnant women in the third trimester were used, as determined in the study by J. Lee et al. (2019). According to the analysis of thromboelastograms of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, 9 (30%) of them had a tendency towards hypocoagulation. Of these, 3 thromboelastograms had deviations via the intrinsic coagulation pathway (in the INTEM tests), 3 thromboelastograms via the extrinsic coagulation pathway (in the EXTEM tests), and the rest combined both options. Two patients with severe preeclampsia developed a complication in the form of HELLP syndrome, and the phenomena of hypocoagulation, according to the results of ROTEM performed before delivery, were observed in only one patient. A comparative analysis of ROTEM parameters among pregnant women with severe preeclampsia and normal pregnancy did not reveal statistically significant differences.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of the ROTEM method with the main screening tests (EXTEM and INTEM) did not show diagnostic value in assessing the risk of hemorrhagic complications of severe preeclampsia.
