Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical TrialLow-dose aspirin in nulliparous women: safety of continuous epidural block and correlation between bleeding time and maternal-neonatal bleeding complications. National Institute of Child Health and Human Developmental Maternal-Fetal Medicine Network.
Our purpose was to determine the frequency and safety of the use of epidural anesthesia and the correlation between bleeding time and maternal-neonatal bleeding complications in a group of pregnant women who participated in a multicenter trial of low-dose aspirin in pregnancy. ⋯ In women assigned to low-dose aspirin there were no adverse effects related to epidural anesthesia. In spite of an increased bleeding time in a subset of pregnant women assigned to low-dose aspirin, maternal-neonatal bleeding complications were not increased.
