AI Article Synopsis
- - The TRAP (Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion) sequence occurs in monochorionic pregnancies where one fetus is healthy and the other is non-viable, leading to risks like high-output cardiac failure in the viable twin.
- - A 32-year-old woman with TRAP syndrome experienced contractions and spotting at 26 weeks and underwent a cesarean section after concerns of placental abruption; her viable twin was born but later died due to prematurity complications.
- - This case emphasizes the need for early detection and ongoing prenatal care in managing TRAP syndrome, while also calling for more research into interventions that improve outcomes for affected pregnancies.
Article Abstract
TRAP sequence occurs in monochorionic pregnancies consisting of one normal fetus and a non-viable fetus. The pump twin has an increased risk of developing high-output cardiac failure. 32-year-old G4P2012 with TRAP syndrome in current pregnancy presented to triage at 26 weeks with contractions and spotting. She had undergone RFA for selective reduction at another facility. Placental abruption was suspected and patient underwent a cesarean section. Twin A was delivered alive although she subsequently succumbed due to complications of prematurity. This case highlights the importance of early detection and consistent prenatal care in the management of TRAP sequence. Further research of interventions associated with improved outcomes should be encouraged.
