Abstract
Thrombelastography (TEG) is a bedside method used to determine coagulation parameters such as clot formation, stabilization and lysis. This report describes a case of cardiopulmonary arrest due to fulminant pulmonary embolism in a 42-year-old postpartum patient. We discuss the dynamics of coagulation parameters during CPR and thrombolysis complicated by bleeding, as assessed by TEG.Entities:
