Management of neonatal thrombosis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Neonates have one of the highest risks for thromboembolism among pediatric patients. This risk is attributable to a combination of multiple genetic and acquired risk factors. Despite a significant number of these events being either life threatening or limb threatening, there is limited evidence on appropriate management strategy. Most of what is recommended is based on uncontrolled studies, case series, or expert opinion. This review begins with a discussion of the neonatal hemostatic system, focusing on the common sites and imaging modalities for the detection of neonatal thrombosis. Perinatal and postnatal risk factors are presented and management options discussed.

BACKGROUND In critically ill (preterm) neonates, central venous catheters (CVCs) are increasingly used for administration of medication or parenteral nutrition. A serious complication, however, is the development of catheter-related thrombosis (CVC-thrombosis), which may resolve by itself or cause severe complications. Due to lack of evidence, management of neonatal CVC-thrombosis varies among ...
