Regional Anesthesia and Non-Preeclamptic Thrombocytopenia: Time to Re-Think the Safe Platelet Count

Abstract: In our series, regional anesthesia was safely administered in pregnant patients with platelet counts between 50-79 x 10(9).L(-1). Our results are in keeping with other series in the literature. We suggest that in non-preeclamptic patients with stable platelet counts and no history or clinical signs of bleeding, the lower limit of platelet count for regional anesthesia should be 50 x 10(9).L(-1).

“…None of those patients with HELLP syndrome in the study by Vigil-De Gracia (26) had disseminated intravascular coagulation and abnormal indices. Review of other series also revealed similar successful outcomes (27,28). Fourth, laboratory parameters of patients with HELLP syndrome can continue to deteriorate postpartum, although they usually trend toward normal within 96 hours postpartum (18).…”

“…Concernant la limite tolé ré e du nombre de plaquettes, la variabilité est le reflet de travaux aux ré sultats discordants. Sur la base d'é tudes prospectives, le chiffre de 40 [7] à 50 G/L [21] comme plancher pour la ré alisation d'anesthé sies pé ridurales ou de PL [22]. Les ré sultats de notre é tude sont en accord avec ces donné es, puisque malgré une grande variabilité , la quasi-totalité (98,6 %) des participants ne ferait pas de PL diagnostiques sous la barre de 50 G/L.…”
