Viscoelastic testing in postpartum obstetric hemorrhage: a scoping review commissioned by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)
Background
Hemorrhage is a leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Most deaths due to postpartum hemorrhage are considered preventable. Viscoelastic testing rapidly measures mechanical properties of coagulation in real time, providing insights into blood clot formation, stability and dissolution. The objective of this scoping review was to identify and map use of viscoelastic testing, including thromboelastography and rotational thromboelastometry, in obstetrics for postpartum hemorrhage.
Methods
As part of a larger landscape review, we followed a detailed workplan outlining methods a priori (https://osf.io/mzr6p). Literature searches in July 2025 included 14 databases searched from inception. Reporting followed PRISMA-ScR.
Results
The scoping review shows a growing evidence base of viscoelastic testing for postpartum hemorrhage. We identified 106 research studies reported in 156 publications, but few published randomized controlled trials. Many observational studies, predominantly published in Europe, document experiences with viscoelastic testing in practice, although many are still only published in abbreviated form (e.g. conference abstracts). Barriers to adoption include cost, provider knowledge and acceptance, training, and research challenges. Future research needs to assess the effect of viscoelastic testing protocols on maternal morbidity and organizational impact by using methods suitable for rare and largely unpredictable events. We outline specific recommendations for practice and research.
Conclusions
Viscoelastic testing offers point-of-care monitoring of coagulation, enabling real-time decision support to guide transfusion therapy. Protocols may reduce transfusion volume, postoperative bleeding, and prevent overtreatment, but more clinical guidance and rigorous multicenter studies to determine the impact of protocols for use in postpartum hemorrhage care empirically are needed.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia is the only journal publishing original articles devoted exclusively to obstetric anesthesia and bringing together all three of its principal components; anesthesia care for operative delivery and the perioperative period, pain relief in labour and care of the critically ill obstetric patient.
• Original research (both clinical and laboratory), short reports and case reports will be considered.
• The journal also publishes invited review articles and debates on topical and controversial subjects in the area of obstetric anesthesia.
• Articles on related topics such as perinatal physiology and pharmacology and all subjects of importance to obstetric anaesthetists/anesthesiologists are also welcome.
The journal is peer-reviewed by international experts. Scholarship is stressed to include the focus on discovery, application of knowledge across fields, and informing the medical community. Through the peer-review process, we hope to attest to the quality of scholarships and guide the Journal to extend and transform knowledge in this important and expanding area.
