[Shock in abruptio placentae (author's transl)].

A Bourdais, H Le Bris, M A Wery

    Anesthesie, Analgesie, Reanimation
    |May 1, 1979

    Summary

    Severe shock is common in placental abruption, often underestimated. Central venous pressure and metabolic acidosis are key indicators, with rapid transfusion being the safest treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Hematology

    Context:

    • Placental abruption is a significant obstetric emergency.
    • Hemorrhagic shock is a primary concern, frequently underestimated.
    • Observed in 60 cases over 18 months.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the incidence and indicators of shock in placental abruption.
    • To assess the effectiveness and complications of various treatments.
    • To identify optimal management strategies.

    Summary:

    • Thirty percent of patients experienced severe shock, either during or after delivery.
    • Central venous pressure and metabolic acidosis are superior shock indicators compared to blood pressure and loss.
    • Associated conditions include hypofibrinogenemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation; renal complications are severe but less frequent.
    • Heparin and fibrinogen therapies showed complications, particularly in African women.
    • Rapid transfusion with central venous pressure monitoring is the most effective and safest treatment.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the underestimation of hemorrhagic shock in placental abruption.
    • Provides evidence for improved diagnostic indicators of shock.
    • Suggests caution with heparin and fibrinogen, advocating for rapid transfusion as the primary intervention.
    • Informs clinical practice for managing this obstetric emergency, potentially reducing maternal morbidity and mortality.
