Hypofibrinogenemia in Abruptio Placenta
نویسنده
چکیده
As early as 1901, DeLee described a hemophilic-like condition of the blood in abruptio. Dieckmann in 1936, studying a group of patients with abruptio, found fibrinogen concentration below the normal levels in seven out of eleven cases, and in three where the fibrinogen level was below 50 mg./100 c.c. During the past few years hypofibrinogenemia has been shown to exist in other conditions apart from abruptio, such as, fetal death in utero due to isosentization to Rh, and fetal retention, amniotic fluid embolus, severe eclampsia, abortion and retained placenta.

Prenatal and Peripartum Management of Patients with Hypofibrinogenemia Resulted in Two Successful Deliveries

Since inherited fibrinogen disorders introduce greater risks for conditions such as placental abruption and postpartum hemorrhage, careful prenatal and perinatal management is essential for this patient population. We report two cases of successful deliveries in patients with hypofibrinogenemia. Case 1 is of a 2...

It can result in increased maternal mortality rates and the need for hysterectomy or greater transfusion volumes if the delivery is not completed within six to eight hours. However, consensus is lacking regarding the delivery approach for cases in which delivery is prolo...
