The Management of Postpartum Cardiorespiratory Failure in a Patient with COVID-19 and Sickle Cell Trait Requiring Extraorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support and Airflight Transportation.

Acute cardiovascular disorders are incriminated in up to 33% of maternal deaths, and the presence of sickle cell anemia (SCA) aggravates the risk of peripartum complications. Herein, we present a 24-year-old Caribbean woman with known SCA who developed a vaso-occlusive crisis at 36 weeks of gestation that required emergency Cesarean section. In the early postpartum period, she experienced fever with rapid onset of acute respiratory distress in the context of COVID-19 infection that required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory support with broad-spectrum antibiotics and blood exchange transfusion.

The issue of obesity continues to reach new levels globally, affecting individuals across the age continuum. Obesity in pregnancy is associated with myriad comorbidities which may negatively impact the fetus, particularly dysfunctional labor and failure to progress ending in unplanned cesarean delivery. Neuraxial anesthesia represents the gold standard for cesarean delivery anesthesia and is increasingly beneficial for obese patients due to the risk of difficult airway.

Article Synopsis
- Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a significant cause of infections in neonates and pregnant women, with Japan implementing guidelines for screening and antibiotic use, yet infections have not decreased significantly.
- Approximately 15% of pregnant women lack GBS screening, and issues like intermittent colonization lead to early-onset disease; current preventative measures don't address increasing cases of late-onset disease.
- This study found that using polymerase chain reaction for GBS detection was more effective than culture methods, highlighted the risk of horizontal transmission, and emphasized the need for better diagnostic tools and potential maternal vaccination for prevention.
