Key result
Epidural analgesia was safely administered to 30 parturients with platelet counts between 69,000 and 98,000/mm3.
Why the study?
Is epidural analgesia safe in parturients with platelet counts between 69,000 and 98,000/mm3?
Is epidural analgesia safe in parturients with platelet counts between 69,000 and 98,000/mm3?
Epidural analgesia appears safe in parturients with mild to moderate thrombocytopenia (platelet counts 69,000-98,000/mm3).
May support cautious epidural use in mild thrombocytopenia; leaves open confirmation in larger prospective studies.
