Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare complication of fertility treatments. Awareness and recognition are crucial for critical care physicians due to its potential for severe outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology
  • Critical care medicine

Background:

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation.
  • Increased use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) has led to a rise in OHSS cases.
  • OHSS typically occurs during the luteal phase or early pregnancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, classification, clinical features, and treatment of OHSS.
  • To highlight the importance of critical care physicians' familiarity with OHSS manifestations and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Main Results:

  • OHSS is a rare but potentially fatal complication of ovarian stimulation.

  • Severe OHSS, though infrequent, necessitates critical care intervention.
  • Critical care physicians must recognize OHSS clinical signs and potential outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • OHSS represents a loss of control over ovarian hyperstimulation.
    • Despite its rarity, OHSS is a significant iatrogenic complication of fertility treatments.
    • Familiarity with OHSS is essential for critical care physicians managing these patients.
