Abstract

Introduction. To select a risk group of venous thromboembolic complications (VTE) is not a simple task. Today doctors use scales of risk scores that take into account only anamnestic data, and do not take into account hemostatic laboratory tests.

The aim of study: comparative assessment of plasma hemostatic parameters in prenatal and postnatal periods in women delivered by Cesarean section with high, medium and low VTE risks.

Materials and methods. We examined 235 pregnant women aged 21–45 years. Blood hemostatic parameters analyzed at 4 points: point 1 — before Cesarean section; point 2–3–5 hours after the end of operation; point 3–2 days after operation; point 4–4 days after operation. We measured fibrinogen and D-dimer levels, prothrombin (Quick’s value) and activated partial thromboplastin time. VTE risk assessed according to RCOG scale Green-top Guidelines №37a; degree of VTE risk development determined by the sum of scores.

Results. It was revealed that VTE risk at women in postnatal period obtained from the analysis of anamnestic data and hemostatic tests gave a different picture of patients’ state which can provide additional information about hemostasis of a particular patient.

Conclusion. D-dimer can be used as a marker of thrombotic readiness in women after Cesarean section, since all other analyzed parameters varied within reference ranges typical for postpartum.
