Can anticoagulants be safely used during pregnancy, and what considerations are necessary for managing thrombotic risks in pregnant patients?
Anticoagulants can be used during pregnancy but require careful management to balance thrombotic and bleeding risks. Low molecular weight heparin is preferred due to its safety profile.
While some anticoagulants are safe during pregnancy, warfarin is typically avoided due to teratogenic risks. Monitoring and adjusting doses of safe anticoagulants, like LMWH, is crucial.
