Abstract
Abstract Objectives The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has rapidly spread since its emergence in December 2019, and has been associated with severe morbidity and mortality. This report includes an in-depth discussion on the unique challenges that the obstetrical population provides when considering optimal management strategy. Case presentation We describe our approach to a preterm patient with high clinical suspicion for COVID-19 whose condition turned critical in the postpartum state. Conclusions Differences in physiology during pregnancy, and goals for reducing both maternal and fetal risks, provide challenges when considering intensive care management, delivery timing, and method of delivery.
期刊介绍:
Case Reports in Perinatal Medicine is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The objective of the new journal is very similar to that of JPM. In addition to evidence-based studies, practitioners in clinical practice esteem especially exemplary reports of cases that reveal specific manifestations of diseases, its progress or its treatment. We consider case reports and series to be brief reports describing an isolated clinical case or a small number of cases. They may describe new or uncommon diagnoses, unusual outcomes or prognosis, new or infrequently used therapies and side effects of therapy not usually discovered in clinical trials. They represent the basic concept of experiences for studies on representative groups for further evidence-based research. The potential roles of case reports and case series are: Recognition and description of new diseases Detection of drug side effects (adverse or beneficial) Study of mechanisms of disease Medical education and audit Recognition of rare manifestations of disease.
