Abstract | Pregnancy is a hypercoaguable state. As part of the multidisciplinary team on labour ward, the anaesthetist plays a role particularly in advising the women and the obstetric team regarding the timing and even choice of regional analgesia given the potential risk of complications, as this may be affected by the anticoagulation treatment pregnant women may be on. It is important to understand the type of anticoagulation regimens parturients might be on and what sort of risk assessment they must undergo, as this has obstetric and anaesthetic implications. Although a rare presentation, management of women with mechanical prosthetic heart valves who are pregnant requires detailed and highly specialised care in tertiary care centres with a well-developed multidisciplinary team and pathway. Despite their rare presentation, it is important to understand the intricate and complex management that these women require as they have a high morbidity and mortality rate. |
