Abstract
(Int J Obstet Anesth. 2018;35:4–9) Pregnant women with low platelet counts may be denied neuraxial block due to concerns about causing a spinal-epidural hematoma (SEH). As a result of this denial, they may not receive adequate labor analgesia. In the event of a cesarean delivery, there will be a need for general anesthesia, which has increased risk in parturients. The lowest safe platelet count to perform neuraxial block is unknown.
