Objective: To evaluate provider adherence to aspirin prophylaxis prescription guidelines for patients at risk.
Study Design: A retrospective chart review was performed at Henry Ford Health (HFH) between October 2015 and December 2020. In October 2015, low-dose aspirin was recommended for women who met high risk criteria for preeclampsia at HFH; in February 2019, aspirin recommendation expanded to include women who met either moderate or high-risk criteria.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of aspirin 162 mg to the standard recommended dose of 81 mg for preeclampsia prevention.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of patients at risk for preeclampsia who delivered between January 2013 and December 2020 at Henry Ford Health was performed. Patients were divided into three groups: a no aspirin group, a group treated under an 81 mg aspirin preeclampsia prophylaxis protocol, and a group treated under a 162 mg protocol.
Background: Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) is a global health crisis, but there is limited guidance for the critical care management of pregnant patients experiencing respiratory collapse. We describe our management of a peri-viable pregnant patient requiring intubation; discussion includes pharmacologic interventions, mechanical ventilation adjustments, and consideration of fetal interventions, including delivery timing.
Case: A 36-year-old, gravida 2, para 1 woman positive for COVID-19 at 23 weeks of gestation with severe disease required admission to the intensive care unit and intubation.
