Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Intravenous fluid crystalloid (ringer lactate)  1000ml of Ringer lactate given via intravenous route over 30 minutes, only once. Ringer lactate is a balanced salt solution containing ions of sodium 130 mEq/L, potassium 4 mEq/L, Calcium 2.7 mEq/L chloride 109 mEq/L and lactate 28 mEq/L  
Intervention  Intravenous fluids colloids (Hydroxyethyl starch and Gelofusine)  500 ml of 10% hydroxyethyl starch given via intravenous route over 30 minutes, only once. 500 ml of Gelofusine given via intravenous route over 30 minutes, only once. Hydroxyethyl starch contains poly (O-2- hydroxyethyl) starch and sodium chloride its pH adjusted with sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid. Gelofusine is a colloid plasma volume replacement fluid based on modified fluid gelatin. It is a physiological plasma substitute with iso oncotic pressure, a physiological pH with a low chloride content. 1000 ml of Gelofusine contains 40 g succinylated gelatin and its molecular weight is 30,000 D.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To evaluate any effect on coagulation in
pregnant patients on preloading with crystalloid
(ringer lactate) and colloids (hydroxyethyl starch
& gelofusine) 
TEG analysis was done within 01 minute of taking the sample, before fluid preloading. Fluid preloading with either Ringer Lactate, 10% HydroxyethylStarch or Gelofusine was administered over 30 minutes in the preoperative room. Blood sample was again taken after fluid pre loading, and TEG analysis done within 01 minute.

Brief Summary  
Ninety term pregnant patients with a single live foetus were included in the study. All patients were divided into 3 groups
with 30 patients in each group receiving preloading with ringer lactate/ 10% hydroxyethyl starch/ gelofusine. Thromboelastography analysis was done before and after preloading for these parameter-R time(time from initiation of test to beginning of clot formation), K time(time until amplitude reaches up to 20mm), Alpha angle( acceleration of fibrin build up and cross linking) and Maximum amplitude(maximum strength of clot). Thromboelastographic variables R time were decrease in all three groups. There was no statistically significant change in K time after preload. There was significant reduction in alpha angle after preloading with 10% hydroxyethyl starch. Among intergroup significant change in mean alpha angle was found when 10% hydroxyethyl starch compared with ringer lactate and gelofusine.There was significant reduction in maximum amplitude (MA) after preloading with 10% hydroxyethyl starch and gelofusine. Among intergroup, significant change in mean maximum amplitude when 10% hydroxyethyl starch was compared with ringer lactate and gelofusine compared with ringer lactate. Preloading in term parturient with ringer lactate, 10% hydroxyethyl starch and gelofusine affects blood coagulability. Ringer lactate infusion causes a very mild hypercoagulable state while both colloids (10% hydroxyethyl starch and gelofusine) produce mild hypocoagulable state in comparison to pretransfusion status. However all thromboelastographic parameters values were within their respective normal range.
