Why it’s challenging ???
Care of the critically ill pregnant women presents a unique challenge …
…. Because the assessment, monitoring and the treatment must be taken into an account with maternal physiological adaptations to pregnancy & also the presence of a fetus whose well-being is linked to the mother.

Leading obstetric causes requiring Obstetric ICU admission …
Pre-eclampsia & Eclampsia
Sepsis
Haemorrhage.
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
3
Conditions which can make pregnant women critically ill….
These wide range of conditions are mainly
divided in to 4 main groups…
1. Specific to pregnancy
2. Increase susceptibility in pregnancy
3. Underlying medical condition
4. Unrelated to pregnancy
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.

• Specific to pregnancy:
e.g. pre-eclampsia, acute fatty liver, obstetric haemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism, peripartum cardiomyopathy etc.
• Increased susceptibility in pregnancy:
e.g. venous thromboembolism, aspiration syndromes.
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
5
• Underlying medical condition that is exacerbated by pregnancy:
e.g. congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and chronic renal failure.
• Unrelated to pregnancy and coincidently developed during pregnancy:
e.g. diabetic ketoacidosis, pneumonia, viral hepatitis and asthma
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.

To confirm the diagnosis of any condition ...
Clinical examination
Urine Output
Laboratory investigations
Radiologic investigations

In critically ill obstetric pts…
It’s sometimes difficult to know….
Which Lab. tests are to be done ?
How to interpret these lab. Reports. ?

Remember
“ During interpretation of laboratory results in critically ill obstetric patients, always consider the normal physiological changes of pregnancy, otherwise underlying disease may be over- or under-diagnosed…!!! “

Indications Evaluate the cause of certain symptoms such as
fever, bruising, or weight loss Detect anemia Determine the severity of blood loss Diagnose polycythemia vera Diagnose an infection Diagnose diseases of the blood, such as leukemia Monitor the response to some types of drug or
radiation treatment Evaluate abnormal bleeding Screen for abnormal values before surgery
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
19
A hematocrit may be used to:• Identify and evaluate the severity of anemia
(low RBCs, low hemoglobin, low hematocrit) OR Polycythemia (high RBCs, high hemoglobin, high hematocrit)
• Help make decisions about blood transfusions or other treatments if anemia is severe
• Evaluate dehydration & IV Fluid Mx

Prothrombin Time ( PT )• Prothrombin time is more sensitive to factor
VII deficiency than factor deficiencies within the final common pathway.
• The prothrombin time has significant interlaboratory variability influenced by the instrument, and more importantly, the reagent used. In an effort to offset variation in thromboplastin reagent, and enhance standardization of PT in patients receiving warfarin, the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the International normalized ratio (INR).
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
25
• The INR is intended to standardize PT, such that a PT generated from one laboratory would yield an INR value comparable to that generated from any other laboratory in the world.
• INR = [Patient PT/Mean PT] ISI
• Prothrombin time is an important coagulation test because it measures the presence and activity of five different blood clotting factors (factors I, II, V, VII, and X).
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
26
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
27
Normal Findings:
• INR : 0.8 – 1.12
• PT : < 15 seconds
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
28
PT increased in• Warfarin use
• Vitamin K deficiency from malnutrition, biliary obstruction, malabsorption syndromes, or use of antibiotics
• Liver disease, due to diminished synthesis of clotting factors
• Deficiency or presence of an inhibitor to factors VII, X, II/prothrombin, V, or fibrinogen
• Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC)
• Fibrinogen abnormality (eg, hypofibrinogenemia, afibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia)
• Massive blood transfusion due to dilution of plasma clotting proteins
• Hypothermia, as it causes inhibition of a series of enzymatic reactions of the coagulation cascade .
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
29
aPTTTo evaluate bleeding abnormalitiesTo monitor the treatment effects with heparin
• The aPTT is used to evaluate the coagulation factors XII, XI, IX, VIII, X, V, II (prothrombin), and I (fibrinogen) as well as prekallikrein (PK) and high molecular weight kininogen (HK)
• aPTT : 24-35 seconds
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
30
Prolonged aPTT may indicate: • Bleeding disorders
• Use of heparin
• Antiphospholipid antibody (especially lupus anticoagulant, which paradoxically increases propensity to thrombosis)
• Coagulation factor deficiency (e.g. hemophilia)
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
31
PT Result aPTT Result Common Condition PresentProlonged Normal Liver disease, decreased vitamin K,
decreased or defective factor VII
Normal Prolonged Hemophilia A or B (decreased or defective factor VIII or IX) or factor XI deficiency, von Willebrand disease,
factor XII deficiency, or lupus anticoagulant present
Prolonged Prolonged Decreased or defective factor I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V or X,
severe liver disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
Normal Normal orslightly prolonged
May indicate normal hemostasis;

Bleeding Time ( B T )
• Done to assess platelet function and the body’s ability to form a clot.
• < 7 minutes: Normal
• 8-15 minutes: Platelet dysfunction
• More than 15 minutes: Critical; test must be discontinued and pressure should be applied
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
33
Clotting Time ( C T )
This is a useful bed side test
Take 5ml of blood in a glass tube
If a clot forms in 10 mts & remains firm it is unlikely that the pt has a DIC & also means that the fibrinogen levels are normal.
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
34
Clot retraction time
• Another bed side test wherein the clot retracts at the end of 1 hour.
• This means that the platelets are adequate.
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
35
D - dimer• Used to determine if further testing is necessary to help
diagnose diseases and conditions that cause hypercoagulability, a tendency to clot inappropriately.
• DVT
• Stroke
• Pulmonary embolus
• DIC
Normal Value< 0.5 mg / l OR 0 – 200 microgm / ml
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
36
Positive D –dimer • S /o presence of an abnormally high level of fibrin
degradation products. • It indicates that there may be significant blood clot
(thrombus) formation and breakdown in the body.
• Imp. Conditions Are …- DIC
- Post Surgical- Trauma
- Infection- M.I.
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
37
Fibrinogen Level
• To evaluate fibrinogen, a protein that is essential for blood clot formation.
• When there is an injury and bleeding occurs, the body forms a blood clot through a series of steps.
• In one of the last steps, soluble fibrinogen is converted into insoluble fibrin threads that crosslink together to form a net that stabilizes and adheres at the injury site until the area has healed.
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
38
It is advised in … Unexplained or prolonged bleeding
Thrombosis
An abnormal PT and PTT test result
Has symptoms of or is undergoing treatment for DIC or abnormal fibrinolysis
May have an inherited or acquired coagulation factor (clotting protein) deficiency or dysfunction
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
39
• Normal Fibrinogen Level
= 300 -600 mg/dl.
• More than 150 mg / dL required for coagulation.
• Decrease level found in DIC and Acute Fibrinolysis
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
40
FDP• Normal value : < 10 microgm/dl
Level increses in …. DIC Post fibrinolytic therapy Thromboembolic events Pulmonary embolism Deep vein thrombosis Acute myocardial infarction (first 24-48 h) Preeclampsia Exercise, anxiety, stress, severe liver disease (mild elevation) Acute and chronic renal failure Sepsis/shock Postoperative states Glomerulonephritis Extensive tissue damage
10/9/2017Dr Shashwat Jani. +91 99099 44160.
41

• Normal : 0 – 10 mg / L
Elevated in…• Bacterial infection like Sepsis
