Unusual near- miss case of atonic postpartum haemorrhage in GMC Chandrapur (Dawn from death to life)
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
A maternal near- miss is an event in which a pregnant woman comes close to maternal death, but does not die. A 8 months gestation third gravida patient was admitted in GMC Chandrapur in preterm labor with intrauterine death. It was an uneventful delivery and as she was a high risk patient for postpartum hemorrhage, all preventive measures were taken. Unfortunately she landed up in atonic PPH for which her subtotal obstetric hysterectomy was done but within one hour she landed up in cardiac arrest, was revived with CPR and her internal iliac artery ligation was done. Postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on 10th postoperative day. The aim of this report is to stress the need for strict vigilance of PPH and cardiac arrest and prompt intervention involving multidisciplinary team which led to salvaging the precious life of a mother.
