    A postsplenectomy patient had idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) that was exacerbated with both her pregnancies. She failed to have sustained platelet counts in her previous pregnancy in spite of receiving steroids and chemotherapy. She underwent elective cesarean section with a platelet count of 7,000 but did not receive platelet transfusions. No unusual bleeding occurred, and an improvement in the ITP was noted postpartum.

    Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

    Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

    Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

    Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
