Although disorders of the coagulation system are uncommon in
pregnancy, the two main hazards - haemorrhage and thromboembolism -
are leading causes of direct maternal death in the UK and
worldwide. Gynaecologists may encounter abnormal haemostasis as a
cause of intractable menorrhagia or perioperative haemorrhage, and
thromboembolism is a significant risk for women undergoing major
gynaecological surgery. This book brings together various aspects
of haemostasis in relation to obstetrics and gynaecology to provide
practical guidance to clinicians, who may only occasionally
encounter these problems. Emphasis is placed on the need for good
working relationships and close liaison between obstetricians and
gynaecologists, anaesthetists, haematologists and blood transfusion
services. The book is primarily designed to provide a comprehensive
summary for candidates preparing for the Part 2 MRCOG examination,
and as such covers the RCOG curriculum for haemorrhage and
thrombosis. It is also a valuable guide for all healthcare
professionals working in the field.
