Key result
Epidural analgesia provides safe, uneventful labor pain relief in von Willebrand disease after tailored treatment.
Why the study?
The safety and individualized management of neuroaxial block for labour analgesia in parturients with von Willebrand's disease requires clarification.
Does epidural block provide safe and effective labor analgesia in parturients with von Willebrand's disease?
Case Report (n=2)
Yes
Does epidural block provide safe and effective labor analgesia in parturients with von Willebrand's disease?
Epidural block can be safely performed for labor analgesia in parturients with von Willebrand's disease if coagulation tests are normalized and treatment is individualized.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support epidural use in select vWD parturients with normal labs; leaves open need for prospective safety trials.
Cohen et al. (2001) conducted a case report in von Willebrand's disease (n=2). Epidural block was evaluated on Labour epidural analgesia and complications. Epidural block provided excellent, uneventful labour analgesia in two parturients with von Willebrand's disease following individualized coagulation testing and treatment.
