Management of Quebec Platelet Disorder for Cervical Facet Injections in the Outpatient Setting: A Case Report

We report a patient with QPD and extensive history of postprocedural bleeding complications (PPBCs) who presented with chronic cervical facet pain. After consulting a hematologist and administering antifibrinolytic agent with platelet transfusions, the patient underwent medial branch nerve blocks (MBNBs) followed by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) without experiencing PPBCs. A comprehensive team approach is critical to maximize patient safety when performing an ISP in such a population.
