In this interactive patient case study developed by international experts, you'll follow two different von Willebrand disease (VWD) patient cases, make educated decisions about their care, and see how your answers impact the patients' trajectories.

After taking part, you'll understand the occurrence and impact of VWD in the emergency care setting, how to treat and manage VWD in daily clinical practice, and how to implement international VWD guidelines.

Take the interactive cases or follow the link to take the accredited e-learning to count towards your CME credit.

Clinical Takeaways

  • Refer to the haematologist for diagnostic testing if you suspect a bleeding disorder in your patient, as coagulation screening tests may be normal in some cases

  • Consult a haematologist before performing any invasive procedures, planned or acute, and in case of trauma in a patient with von Willebrand disease

  • Patients with VWD may need a haemostatic treatment plan in place before you proceed
