| Popis: | Myelodysplastic syndrome with severe thrombocytopenia is a rare disease in women of child-bearing age. The challenging aspect in management of such a patient is maintaining optimal coagulation with minimum platelet transfusion during the peripartum period. Multiple transfusions can result in allo-sensitization which can affect lifesaving bone marrow transplantation in future. Thromboelastography is a useful tool to assess and guide appropriate transfusion requirements. |
