Article Synopsis
- Hemodynamic restoration is crucial in sepsis management, with initial treatment focusing on achieving a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of over 65 mmHg through volume expansion and norepinephrine (NE) if needed.
- A multicenter randomized trial is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of low-dose NE in controlling shock within 6 hours in septic patients, comparing it to standard care.
- The study measures various parameters, including lactate levels and cardiac output, with the primary goal of achieving stable shock control, and aims to include at least 100 patients in each treatment group.
Background: Amniotic fluid embolism is always a severe complication and generally occurs during labour or immediately after childbirth.
Clinical Features: We report the case of a patient falling victim to amniotic fluid embolism after the medical termination of her pregnancy at 24 weeks of amenorrhea following the discovery of a teratoma-carrying foetus. The amniotic fluid embolism diagnosis was strongly suspected in the face of the sudden onset of severe arterial hypotension, hypoxic respiratory distress, a coma state and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy immediately after the delivery.
