Viscoelastometry guided fresh frozen plasma infusion for postpartum haemorrhage: OBS2, an observational study

Conclusions. Restrictive use of FFP guided by clinical assessment of bleeding and VE-POCT is feasible and did not result in clinically significant haemostatic impairment. Studies should compare the clinical and cost effectiveness of empirical FFP infusions, according to current guidelines, with targeted use of FFP based on VE-POCT.Clinical trial registration: ISRCTN46295339 (http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN46295339) (accessed July 24, 2017), EudraCT 2012-005511-11 (https://www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu/ctr-search?query=2011-005511-11) (accessed July 24, 2017).
