Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 30
Abstract
Post-partum hemorrhagic complication is a critical situation for an anesthesiologist, which requires timely and skillful anesthetic management. A massive post-partum bleeding leading to severe hypovolemic shock may result in life threatening cardio-pulmonary arrest. Here is a case report of 25 year old with atonic post-partum hemorrhage resulting in hypovolemic shock & impending cardiac arrest and successful anesthetic management for emergency peripartum hysterectomy to save the life of the patient.
