Q

What is the benefit of using LMWH compared to unfractionated heparin in a pregnant pt w/ DVT?

A

longer half life
more predictable dose-response relationship
less likely to cause thrombocytopenia and hem. complications* (most important)
(NEITHER cross placenta or cause teratogenesis)

Q

how to interpret ph of fetal scalp sampling?
