Anesthetic Management of Von Willebrand Disease in Pregnancy: A Retrospective Analysis of a Large Case Series

CONCLUSIONS: In this large case series, the majority of vWD patients received neuraxial anesthesia for labor and delivery, with no noted adverse events. This suggests that neuraxial anesthesia can be safely performed with the peripartum management that we describe. Pretreatment was dictated by the type and severity of vWD. Multidisciplinary planning is important to optimize the coagulation status of patients with vWD and facilitate options for analgesia and anesthesia.PMID:33913917 | DOI:10.1213/ANE.0000000000005502
