title: [Determination of blood coagulation in acute obstetrical and gynecologic hemorrhages by means of the Hellige direct writing thrombelastograph].
abstract: Thrombelastography, as a method of rapid registration, is an important addition to the present screening tests of coagulation status. With this method we are able to quickly obtain exact values for clotting and fibrinolysis with more precision than those which can be obtained from the clot observation test. The TEG monitor must however be available in the immediate vicinity of the labour ward and must be ready for use around the clock. Specific therapy for the elimination of failures in hemostasis may then be started without delay, due to prompt determination of coagulation status and early detection of fibrinolysis.
