<b>Reproductive hemostasis: A global approach to a global challenge</b> <p>A hemostatic change in women through their reproductive lifetime is emerging as an issue of global importance. No wonder, as obstetric hemorrhage remains a major cause of maternal mortality in both developed and developing countries. Thrombophilias and pulmonary embolisms are a threat to maternal and fetal well-being.</p> <p><i>Hemostasis and Thrombosis in Obstetrics & Gynecology</i> provides a framework for assessing and managing hemostatic disorders in women. Written by an international team, it provides globally applicable guidelines for obstetric hematology. The practical approach to clinical management includes:</p> <ul> <li>Hematologic changes in pregnancy</li> <li>Red cell disorders</li> <li>Platelet disorders</li> <li>Inherited and acquired thrombophilia</li> <li>Inherited bleeding disorders</li> <li>Postpartum hemorrhage</li> </ul> <p>Blood and bleeding disorders in women can be managed by obstetrician-gynecologists or hematologists, separately or together. <i>Hemostasis and Thrombosis in Obstetrics & Gynecology</i> provides specialists from both disciplines with the information necessary to manage their patients effectively.</p> <p><b>Titles of Related Interest</b></p> <p>Protocols for High-Risk Pregnancies, 5e<br /> Edited by: Queenan, Hobbins & Spong; ISBN 978-1-4051-9650-5</p> <p>Critical Care Obstetrics, 5e<br /> Edited by: Belfort et al.; ISBN 978-1-4051-5273-0</p> <p>Practical Hemostasis and Thrombosis, 2e<br /> Edited by: Key et al.; ISBN 978-1-4051-8460-1</p> <p>Inherited Bleeding Disorders in Women<br /> Edited by: Lee, Kadir and Kouides; ISBN 978-1-4051-6915-8</p>
