Overview
An interdisciplinary opinion of six professional societies summarizes the rules of antithrombotic prophylaxis in women during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium. This is the period when women are at risk of thromboembolic disease, which significantly affects maternal mortality and morbidity. The text follows earlier published recommendations (M. Penka, T. Binder, P. Dulíček. Antithrombotic measures of pregnant women according to the risk of thromboembolic disease (TEN) – recommended guideline. Ceska Gynekol 2013; 78 (Suppl): 34– 36 and the consensus statement of the Sections of the CGSC of the Czech Medical Association of J. E. Purkyně Antithrombotic management of women during pregnancy, delivery and pospartum: part B – inpatient care. Collection of recommended practices 3/ 2022) and is supplemented with recent information based on established international recommendations. The aim of the recommendations is to standardise and coordinate care by all professionals involved. For clarity, the text is divided into short paragraphs, tables and graphs.
