Thrombosis prophylaxis with subcutaneous heparin Ca injection in the course of caesarean sections.
Subcutaneous low-dose Heparin Ca injections were given as prophylactic treatment to 31 women who were candidates for Caesarean section and were at high risk of thrombo-embolism. Postoperative deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism did not occur in the treated cases. Local or systemic haemorrhages or other reactions were not observed. The controlled haematological parameters changed as expected. According to the opinion of the authors Heparin Ca may be successfully used for the prevention of the postoperative complications of Caesarean section.
