Abstract

A 38yo female presented for emergent cesarean delivery following intrauterine fetal demise and placental abruption at 35w6d gestation. Initial case complicated by high volume blood loss and subsequent development of DIC. Patient then returned to OR for exploratory laparotomy and hysterectomy secondary to continued postpartum hemorrhage where she developed profound hypoxia refractory to all interventions requiring ECMO consultation. Will discuss the causes of acute respiratory failure in the obstetric population. Will additionally discuss the physiology and management of TRALI as a complication of postpartum hemorrhage treatment.
