Role of Antiplatelets and Anticoagulation Therapies in Pregnancy.

Thrombosis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state, and thrombotic complications in pregnancy are a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Current guidelines support the selective use of aspirin, heparin, and warfarin in pregnant women.

A comparative study of intravenous low doses of dexmedetomidine, fentanyl, and magnesium sulfate for attenuation of hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation.

Background: Endotracheal intubation is an integral part of general anesthesia. The hemodynamic stress responses associated with it, though transient, are unpredictable and variable. In comparison with healthy individuals, those with comorbid health issues can have life-threatening complications with this sympathetic response.
