title: Spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery in a patient receiving fondaparinux.
abstract: Fondaparinux sodium, a selective inhibitor of factor Xa, is a new anticoagulant being used for thromboprophylaxis in all patient populations. We outline a case of neuraxial anesthesia for cesarean delivery in a patient with recent fondaparinux use and discuss most recent literature recommendations.
