  • Title: Epidural analgesia for labor and delivery in a patient with von Willebrand's disease.
    Author: Cohen S, Daitch JS, Amar D, Goldiner PL.
    Journal: Reg Anesth; 1989; 14(2):95-7. PubMed ID: 2487672.
    Abstract:
    Patients with histories of bleeding disorders may still benefit from regional anesthetic techniques. The decision to perform the block should be individualized, based on coagulation tests. The authors describe a patient with von Willebrand's disease in whom pregnancy itself improved factor VIII activity, enabling performance of an epidural block for labor and delivery.
