Aspirin is not recommended for thromboprophylaxis in obstetric patients.

The diagnostic criteria of DKA are-

bocarb

glucose

• LMWH should not be given for 4 hours after use of spinal anaesthesia or after the epidural catheter has been removed
• and the catheter should not be removed within 12 hours of the most recent injection.

The Green Top Guidleine 37 a  ( VTE Prevention in Pregnancy and Puerperium) has very useful charts for VTE risk assessment-  these can be downloaded HERE

This is a question indeed-

• Before anticoagulant therapy is commenced, blood should be taken for a full blood count, coagulation screen, urea and electrolytes, and liver function tests.
• Performing a thrombophilia screen prior to therapy is not recommended.
• D-dimer testing should not be performed in the investigation of acute VTE in pregnancy. ( D Dimer levels are usually high in pregnancy).
• Compression duplex ultrasound should be undertaken where there is clinical suspicion of DVT.If ultrasound is negative and a high level of clinical suspicion exists, anticoagulant treatment should be discontinued but the ultrasound should be repeated on days 3 and 7.If ultrasound is negative and there is a low level of clinical suspicion, anticoagulant treatment can be discontinued.
• Women presenting with symptoms and signs of an acute PE should have an electrocardiogram (ECG) and a chest X-ray (CXR) performed

The six elements considered to be reflective of good care are:
 Consultant obstetrician planning and directly supervising delivery.
 Consultant anaesthetist planning and directly supervising anaesthesia at delivery.
 Blood and blood products available.
 Multidisciplinary involvement in preoperative planning.
 Discussion and consent, including possible interventions (such as hysterectomy, leaving the placenta in situ, cell
salvage and interventional radiology).
 Local availability of a level 2 critical care bed.

According to the RCOG- Any lack of compliance with the care bundle by the clinical team for a woman with either placenta praevia or accreta
should be investigated.

According to MBBRACE-UK 2014 to 2016- Women who have had a previous caesarean section who also have either placenta praevia or an anterior placenta underlying the old caesarean section scar at 32 weeks of gestation are at increased risk of placenta accreta and should be managed as if they have placenta accreta, with appropriate preparations for surgery made.
