Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a congenital disorder inherited autosomal recessively, caused by deficiency of platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex leading to defective platelet aggregation, and manifesting as mucocutaneous bleeding. Parturients with GT requiring emergency cesarean section are at high risk for perioperative bleeding complications. The anesthetist should be prepared with the necessary measures to control bleeding.

We conducted a parallel design, randomised, controlled trial comparing these two approaches.
