Is regional block safe for obstetric analgesia and anesthesia in women with inherited bleeding disorders?

Structured PICO

Is regional block safe for obstetric analgesia and anesthesia in women with inherited bleeding disorders?

Population

63 women (80 pregnancies) with inherited bleeding disorders (19 factor XI deficiency, 16 carriers of haemophilia, 15 von Willebrand disease, 7 platelet function disorders, 4 factor VII deficiency, 1 factor VII and XI deficiency, 1 factor X deficiency)

Intervention

Regional block for obstetric analgesia/anesthesia

Outcome

Adverse effects and long-term complications from regional blocksafety

Regional block can be safely offered to women with inherited bleeding disorders provided their coagulation defects have normalized spontaneously or following adequate hemostatic cover.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

May support regional block with hemostatic cover in selected cases; leaves open confirmation in larger prospective studies.
