- Title

- Abstract
Von Willebrand disease is the most common inherited blood disorder, occurring in about 1% of the population. It results from a deficiency in the quality or quantity of von Willebrand factor, which is necessary for adequate hemostasis. An evidenced-based approach is prudent when this derangement is coupled with a potentially fatal obstetric complication. This article examines the anesthetic management of a parturient with a known diagnosis of von Willebrand disease who presented to the labor and delivery unit in active labor and with a suspected uterine placental abruption.
