NCT06118957
Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of randomizing individuals to low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) or no treatment following cesarean delivery. The investigators hypothesize that among eligible individuals, at least 35% will enroll, undergo randomization, and complete the allocated treatment group.
Detailed Description:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. The first two weeks postpartum are the highest risk period for VTE during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Cesarean delivery is a known risk factor for VTE. In the United States, postpartum prophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin (e.g., enoxaparin) is commonly used during the first 10-14 days after delivery. Enoxaparin has not been demonstrated as an effective intervention to prevent postpartum VTE after cesarean delivery. Before larger scale studies may be completed, a better understanding of ability to randomize individuals to this intervention is needed. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of randomizing individuals after cesarean delivery to the receipt of enoxaparin prophylaxis or no treatment.
