Venous thromboembolism is the leading cause of preventable maternal mortality worldwide, and the risk is significantly increased following a cesarean delivery. This book offers a practical and up-to-date overview of its prevention, combining a review of pathophysiology, a comparison of international guidelines, the pharmacology of low-molecular-weight heparins, and a detailed presentation of a field study conducted at the Monastir Maternity and Neonatology Center.After reviewing the epidemiology of peripartum venous thromboembolism and the pathophysiology of pregnancy-related hypercoagulability according to Virchow's triad, the book details risk stratification systems and compares international guidelines (STAAR, SFAR, ACOG, RCOG), highlighting their significant differences. The practical pharmacology of low-molecular-weight heparins and mechanical methods of prophylaxis is then discussed. The central section presents a detailed account of a cross-sectional observational study conducted among 102 patients who underwent cesarean section, evaluating compliance with thromboprophylaxis practices.
