Abstract

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) represents a major challenge in obstetrics. The prognosis is influenced by the severity of the coagulopathy and its underlying condition. Early recognition of DIC, if possible, is important because of the potential for end-organ microvascular thrombosis and/or major blood loss. Obstetric DIC manifests mainly with bleeding. In order to facilitate the diagnosis and management of disseminated intravascular coagulation, a pregnancy-specific DIC score was developed. The therapy aims at treating the condition that triggers DIC, the hemorrhagic complications and the coagulopathy.
