    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics
    • Hematology
    • Perinatology

    Background:

    • Sickle cell crisis presents a significant obstetric emergency.
    • Maternal and perinatal morbidity/mortality are associated with sickle cell disease.
    • Improved medical, obstetric, and neonatal care have enhanced life spans.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of expert perinatal teams and tertiary care in managing sickle cell disease during pregnancy.
    • To emphasize the benefits of meticulous medical attention in reducing complications.
    • To discuss current management principles and future therapeutic developments.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of management principles for pregnant patients with sickle cell disease.
    • Emphasis on comprehensive tertiary healthcare and expert perinatal teams.
    • Analysis of factors contributing to improved maternal and fetal outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Significant reduction in maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality is achievable.
    • Improved combined life span for mother and fetus due to advanced care.
    • Adherence to management principles offers hope for effective management of vasoocclusive episodes.

    Conclusions:

    • While a cure is not yet available, adherence to outlined management principles improves pregnancy outcomes for sickle cell patients.
    • Expert perinatal care and tertiary healthcare are crucial for managing sickle cell crisis in pregnancy.
    • Future pharmacologic agents hold promise for preventing sickle cell vasoocclusive crisis.
