Were I work, the MO's like the platelets to be
above 50 in labour.
i PLatelet counts are done when women arrives to
birth centre and if lower than 50, the woman is then transferred to
Delivery Suite and has a managed third stage (ie cannula and IV Syno with birth
of placenta)
All other women with PLT counts >50 are
treated as normal.
Even women who have otherwise normal PLT counts
prior to prenancy can drop them during pregnancy. Its possibly autoimmune
response but who knows.
I would see about 1 client per month with PLT
count of around 100.
What about others?
I'm not sure, but I thought it was only kids
that got the typical purpuric rash from the low PLT's not adults?
cheers,
Sheryl
