Brief Summary  

Pre-eclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy associated with new-onset hypertension, which occurs most often after 20 weeks of gestation  accompanied by new-onset proteinuria and other signs or symptoms of pre-eclampsia in the absence of proteinuria.Pre-eclampsia complicates 3.8% of pregnancies in India and represents a significant cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Women with pre-eclampsia are at a greater risk of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events, organ failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Foetus of these mothers are at greater risk of fetal growth retardation, prematurity and intrauterine death.

The aetiology of pre-eclampsia  remains unclear. Currently, generally accepted theories assume that abnormal placental implantation in the early stage of pregnancy causes systemic vascular endothelial cell disorder and dysfunction and may lead to the development of hypertension, proteinuria, blood hypercoagulability, and other clinical manifestations. These changes start reverting with the delivery of the baby. However, most of the thromboembolic complications occur postdelivery. Therefore, it is important to recognise women at risk for these fatal complications.

Thromboelastography (TEG) has become a reliable point-of-care assay for detecting various coagulopathies. The advantages of thromboelastography over traditional coagulation parameters include provision of reliable evidence to diagnose disease related to coagulation defects, as well as real-time assessment to know whether the patient is hypocoagulable, hypercoagulable or fibrinolytic. Limited information exists regarding thromboelastography parameters throughout pregnancy among patients with pre-eclampsia.

Since patients with pre-eclampsia are at risk of thromboembolic complications moreso after Caesarean delivery, it is important to recognise the women at risk and to know whether this hypercoagulable state persists through the entire puerperium. After extensive search of literature, till date there are few studies comparing TEG parameters in  patients with pre-eclampsia preoperatively, 24 hours and 5th day postoperatively after Caesarean delivery. Therefore, the present study has been planned to compare TEG parameters in the postpartum period as compared to their pre-operative status in patients with pre-eclampsia.
