Abstract

Severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50 000/μl) in pregnancy is uncommon and is generally considered a contraindication to neuraxial anesthesia. We present a case of a parturient who presented with severe thrombocytopenia secondary to bone marrow failure. After receiving platelet and cryoprecipitate transfusions to correct coagulopathy as verified by thromboelastometry, neuraxial anesthesia was safely utilized.

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.
