ABSTRACT
Introduction: The rate of live births that are conceived through assisted reproduction in the United States of America (USA) is greater than 1%; these techniques are associated with maternal complications, including ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS); presenting an incidence of 1-5% per cycle of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) continues to be an important cause of maternal mortality, associated with failure to obtain the diagnosis. Our objective with this case report is to identify these conditions and to carry out early treatment of OHSS and PTE; since the physiological changes of this condition, in which cardiovascular and coagulation changes are included therefore, physicians may lead to an underdiagnosis.
Case report: 37 year old female, G4, C3 with antecedent of
in vitro fertilization (IVF); initiates current 15-day evolution of pain in right pelvic limb with visual analogue scale (EVA) 7/10; Doppler ultrasound: popliteal vein thrombosis, and partial flow. Adding, occasional mild dyspnea. After four hours, the patient presents with New York Heart Association (NYHA) IV dyspnea, class D, oliguria and cardiorespiratory arrest, which is reversed.
Conclusions: Preventing, recognizing in time and adopting the therapeutic or preventive measures described make the difference to preserve the health of patients, the most serious form of OHSS can be complicated by multiple systemic disorders, these manifestations should be monitored in an Intensive Care Unit.
