Thromboelastography to Assess Age-Related Coagulation Differences in Patients Undergoing Cesarean Delivery

Completed

Conditions studied: Thrombophilia

In brief

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.
