LWM heparinFrom: Betsy Hyde (elishyde@connix.com)Fri Jan 14 17:18:34 2000
>>The "standard" strategy for handling pregnant women in need of >>anticoagulation is to use heparin in early pregnancy, say until about 12-14 >>weeks, and then switch back to coumadin until a few weeks before delivery. >>Then switch to heparin peripartally, then back to coumadin postpartally. Of >>course, there are lots of variations as to how to do this. at what stage of pregnancy would you start LMW heparin if woman w/ +Factor V Leiden, etc? Assuming that the diagnosis was made based on poor ob hx (habitual ab) would you start at dx of pregnancy, confirmation of viability, 2nd trimester?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
