A national survey of availability of Clauss fibrinogen testing in obstetric units across the UK

-
Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal morbidity in the UK1
-
Coagulopathy (fibrinogen <2g/L) predicts very severe PPH and adverse maternal outcomes.2 Fibrinogen is the first coagulation factor to fall during PPH and is the primary target for replacement in PPH
-
Timely recognition and correction of fibrinogen may improve maternal outcomes in PPH
-
Point of care (POC) coagulation tests can measure fibrinogen contribution to clot strength at the bedside and can be used to guide treatment of coagulopathy
