OBJECTIVE The aim: To establish the effectiveness of thromboelastography (TEG) and tranexamic acid (TXA) for prognosis and prevention of early postpartum period bleedings (PPB) for postpartum women with idiopathic arterial hypotension (IAH). PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: Coagulogical research was conducted (coaugologram screening, dynamic function of platelets under the influence of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) (visual assessment), measurement of soluble fibrin-monomer complexes (FMC) and TEG of 36 in parturient women during the I chilbirth period with arterial hypotension. 14 parturient women with normal fibrinolysis were included into the first observation group; The second group includes 22 parturient women with TEG results which show signs of hyperfibrinolysis. Further, in cases when stronger fibrinolysis was detected during the late pushing phase of childbirth period, the TXA by amount of 1,0 g IV (bolus) was injected due to bleeding prevention. TEG was repeated during early postpartum period. RESULTS Results: the inhibition of platelet aggregation activity with ADP was observed in every parturient woman with IAH in the first partum period. In 61,1% cases with TEG hyperfibrinolysis were shown, which was accompanied by significant increase in FMC levels in blood. The use of TXA as PPB prevention for parturient women with IAH and hyperfibrinolysis during TEG was fully oppressing the fibrinolytic activity and was not affecting the coagulation part of hemostasis. CONCLUSION Conclusions: hemostasis testing during childbirth based on TEG gives the ability to prognose the hemorrhagic complications in parturient women with IAH and administer their prophylaxy using TXA.
