Complicated COVID-19 in pregnancy, maternal and neonatal outcomes: a case report.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has exposed vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, to an unprecedented public health crisis. According to recent data, pregnancy in COVID-19 patients is associated with increased hospitalization, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and intubation. It has been suggested that pregnancy induced immune responses and cardiorespiratory changes can exaggerate the course of the COVID-19.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation type of amniotic fluid embolism: a challenging case report with favorable outcome.

Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is an unforeseeable, life-threatening complication of pregnancy and child birth. Although rare in an absolute sense, most contemporary series of maternal deaths from developed countries report AFE as a leading cause of mortality in the pregnant population. It has a heterogeneous presentation.

Anaphylactic shock due to patent blue: case report and review of literature.

Intraoperative search for the sentinal node using patent blue is considered a non risk procedure. We emphasize the highly exceptional nature of this adverse effect previously observed in other disciplines using this coloring agent. We present a case of allergic reaction to patent blue in a patient who underwent left mastectomy with sentinel lymph node.

[Compared effects of etomidate and propofol for anaesthesia during electroconvulsive therapy].

Objective: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) requires repeated short-term anaesthesia with muscle relaxation and deep narcosis and uses several anaesthetic agents. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of the anaesthetic technique applied for ECT by comparing two products: propofol and etomidate.
