Implementation of a crash cesarean section policy and its impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes at King Abdulaziz University Hospital: A retrospective study.

A typical surgical technique for pregnant women with potentially fatal problems affecting the mother or fetus is an emergency cesarean section (ECS). The decision-to-delivery interval (DDI) for ECS should be within 30 minutes. The objective of this study was to investigate crash ECS indications and effects on maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Clinical response to therapeutic plasmapheresis and intravenous immunoglobulin in pregnancies complicated by alloimmunization despite persistently high titers: Report of two cases.

Key Clinical Message: Plasmapheresis and IVIG use in cases of alloimmunization during pregnancy are effective strategies when severe early fetal anemia is anticipated. Despite no change in antibody titer levels before and after plasmapheresis, clinical response was observed in both fetuses, and both had an excellent obstetrical outcome.

Abstract: Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn is a potentially lethal complication of alloimmunization, and intrauterine fetal blood transfusion (IUBT) is the standard treatment and care plan for severe fetal anemia.
