Zusammenfassung

Die hämostatischen Funktionen werden auf natürliche Art im Verlauf der Schwangerschaft verstärkt. Diese Veränderung erhöht spürbar neben dem erwünschten blutstillenden Effekt auch die Inzidenz von unerwünschten Thrombosen. Ursächlich spielen hier Venenstauung, Gefäßwandschäden und Hyperkoagulabilität interaktiv eine kausale Rolle. Thrombosen treten in allen 3 Trimestern auf, etwa 5-mal häufiger als außerhalb der Schwangerschaft, die Inzidenz ist im Wochenbett am höchsten. Zusätzliche transiente oder persistierende Risikofaktoren können das Thromboserisiko weiter erhöhen. Gegen die Thrombosen kann der Therapeut prophylaktisch oder therapeutisch wirken. Schwerpunkt dieser Intervention stellt die parenterale Antikoagulation mit Heparinen dar. Im folgenden Text werden Pathogenese, Diagnose und Behandlung der Thrombosen in Schwangerschaft und Wochenbett veranschaulicht. Vorhandene nationale und internationale Leitlinien werden dargestellt und vergleichsweise als Praxistipps zusammengefasst.
