This episode of PEM Currents focuses on the different bleeding complications seen in Hemophilia and Von Willebrands and reviews basic management. <a href="http://pemcincinnati.com/blog/factor-first-hemophilia-management-in-the-emergency-department/">There is a companion post on PEMBlog.com that has more detailed information that you should check out as well.</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://twitter.com/PEMTweets">Follow me on Twitter @PEMTweets</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://facebook.com/PEMTweets">Check out the facebook page</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://PEMBlog.com">Visit PEMBlog.com</a><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://cchmc.cloud-cme.com/default.aspx?P=20">I am proud to offer CME for this podcast episode through Cincinnati Children’s.
