The Female Carrier of Haemophilia - A Problem for the Anaesthetist

MARTIN J. INWOOD M.D., F.R.C.P.(C)1 and DAVID B. MELTZER M.D., F.R.C.P.(C)1

1 Division of Haematology, St. Joseph's Hospital, London, Ontario

Three case histories reflect the difficulties of pre-operative assessment and management of female obligatory carriers for Factor VIII or Factor IX deficiency (haemophilia).

The dangers of operation in these individuals is emphasized in view of the often confusing laboratory and clinical findings in this group ofpatients. A protocol is presented which, if used by the anaesthetist, will provide for logical and safe diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for these patients.
