A hemostatic change in women through their reproductive lifetime
is emerging as an issue of global importance. No wonder, as
obstetric hemorrhage remains a major cause of maternal mortality in
both developed and developing countries. Thrombophilias and
pulmonary embolisms are a threat to maternal and fetal
well-being.

Hemostasis and Thrombosis in Obstetrics & Gynecology
provides a framework for assessing and managing hemostatic
disorders in women. Written by an international team, it provides
globally applicable guidelines for obstetric hematology. The
practical approach to clinical management includes:

Hematologic changes in pregnancy
Red cell disorders
Platelet disorders
Inherited and acquired thrombophilia
Inherited bleeding disorders
Postpartum hemorrhage

Blood and bleeding disorders in women can be managed by
obstetrician-gynecologists or hematologists, separately or
together. Hemostasis and Thrombosis in Obstetrics &
Gynecology provides specialists from both disciplines with the
information necessary to manage their patients effectively.
