Delivery in a Pregnant Woman With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH): A Case Report.

Cardiovascular diseases in pregnant women are a challenge in pregnancy and perinatal care, representing a significant cause of perinatal death among this population. In this case report, we describe a 41-year-old pregnant woman with atrial septal defect (ASD) type II, 30 mm in size, and secondary pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), who was admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Perinatology for delivery at 35+5 weeks of her first pregnancy. During the first trimester, the patient's attending cardiologist decided to use a wearable cardioverter defibrillator on the patient until the end of the pregnancy and postpartum.

The Role of Accurate Estimations of Blood Loss and Identification of Risk Factors in the Management of Early Postpartum Hemorrhage in Women Undergoing a Cesarean Section.

This study aimed to analyze and compare three different methods of estimated blood loss (EBL) assessment in conjunction with the exploration of risk factors associated with early postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) among women undergoing a cesarean section (CS). Women with a singleton pregnancy who underwent an elective/emergency CS were recruited for this prospective cross-sectional study. Early PPH was defined as a cumulative blood loss ≥1000 mL within the 24 h period following the delivery.
