ABSTRACT

Anticoagulation in Pregnancy
Clark, Erin
Anticoagulation in pregnancy can be undertaken for both maternal and fetal reasons; for some situations, guidelines based on evidence exist (eg: previous thromboembolic events, prosthetic valve replacements), however in other situations there is a paucity of information to guide clinical decision making. A summary of existing published recommendations is presented, in addition to a discussion of clinical scenarios where there is little or no evidence to assist the choice of treatment options
