We report and discuss the case of a 29-year-old tercigravida with intrapartum cardiorespiratory arrest due to a massive amniotic fluid embolism and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Perimortem caesarean section with B-Lynch compression uterine suture with simultaneous fetal and maternal resuscitation were performed with a favorable outcome for both the mother and the child.

Intrapartum asphyxia, fetal hypoxia, and their consequences (e.g., acidosis, hypercapnia, hypoglycemia, and hypothermia) are the main factors related to physio-metabolic imbalances that increase neonatal mortality in piglets, particularly in piglets with low birthweight and low vitality scores.

Is magnesium sulfate therapy warranted in all cases of late postpartum severe hypertension? A suggested approach to a clinical conundrum.

Magnesium sulfate reduces the risk for eclamptic seizures antepartum, intrapartum, and in the immediate postpartum period, however, there are no studies that have evaluated the benefits and risks of magnesium sulfate among women with late postpartum severe hypertension only. Juxtaposed on this clinical uncertainty is the increased incidence of severe hypertension owing to a rise in pregnancies complicated by advanced maternal age, obesity, chronic hypertension, diabetes, and recent protocols for intensive monitoring of blood pressure in the postpartum period. These factors have led to a significant increase in postpartum presentations for the evaluation and management of severe hypertension, in some cases leading to postpartum readmissions for administration of antihypertensive therapy and magnesium sulfate without data demonstrating clear clinical benefit.

Introduction: Neonates with cardiorespiratory compromise at delivery are at substantial risk of hypoxic neurologic injury and death. Though mitigation strategies such as ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) exist, the competing interests of neonatal beneficence, maternal non-maleficence, and just distribution of resources require consideration. Due to the rarity of these entities, there are few systematic data to guide evidence-based standards.
