Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation as Supportive Therapy After Cardiac Arrest After Amniotic Fluid Embolism: A Case Report.

Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare but dreaded complication of pregnancy, with an incidence between 2 and 7/100,000 deliveries. We report an amniotic fluid embolism after urgent cesarean delivery diagnosed on a cardiac arrest, complicated by cardiogenic shock and acute respiratory distress syndrome. This report describes the indication, efficacy, and success of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the early management of cardiac arrest, cardiac failure driven by amniotic fluid embolism, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Twin vaginal delivery: To maintain skill - simulation is required.

Background: Although most societies of obstetrics advocate vaginal delivery of twins, there has been a steady rise in the rate of twin cesarean sections. We risk perhaps losing in a single generation our obstetrical learning and skills because of medicolegal and emotionally charged issues.

Methods: We have therefore designed a realistic as possible simulation model of second twin delivery and tested it on residents in obstetrics.

Hysteroscopic resection of type 3 myoma: a new challenge?

Objective: Type 3 myomas are intramural within contact with the endometrium but lack any cavity deformation. There is no guideline for management of symptomatic type 3 myoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of symptomatic type 3 myoma hysteroscopic resection.
