Abstract

Intrapartum coagulopathy was secured from 41 in 69,336 obstetric patients, between 1961 and 1978. Haemostatic disorders, such as v. Willebrand-Jürgens syndrome, idiopathic thrombocytopenia, plasmatic coagulation defects, and hyperfibrinolysis, had been recorded from ten patients even before parturition. The courses of pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium of those patients are reported, with reference being made to the need for prepartum hospitalisation as well as for target-oriented substitutional therapy and non-invasive delivery control. - Acute intrapartum haemorrhagic syndrome occurred to 31 patients, among them 13 patients with loss coagulopathy. Prophylaxis and therapy of such coagulation disorders are discussed. The deaths of two mothers are analysed. Consumptive coagulopathy, triggered by typical gestational complications, was manifest in the other 18 patients. Prophylaxis and therapy of that severe obstetric coagulopathy are discussed.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
