[Platelet count and hematic punction with epidural block in obstetrics].
The reference value for and the significance of mild thrombocytopenia associated with pregnancy remain undetermined, and therefore the timing, validity and meaning of coagulation tests before a regional block may vary. ⋯ A complete clinical history must be obtained during the anesthetist's interview with the patient in the last month of pregnancy, and detailed information on the risk of regional blocks during labor must be offered. When blood tests at the time of the interview are normal and the clinical history indicates low risk, repeating tests immediately before the block is unjustified, provided the clinical situation does not change.
