Abstract: (590 Views)
Introduction: Sepsis is a critical and life-threatening condition that arises from severe infections and can lead to multiple organ failure. Prompt diagnosis and timely treatment are essential to improve patient prognosis. This report presents a case of severe sepsis following a miscarriage in a pregnant woman, accompanied by immediate medical intervention and a near-death experience.
Case Report: The patient was a 24-year-old woman (G3P0A2) at 24 weeks of gestation who reported a miscarriage via telephone in January 2025 and was advised to take antibiotics. Two hours later, she experienced decreased consciousness and general malaise, prompting her to visit the hospital. Upon arrival, sepsis was suspected, and she was admitted to the intensive care unit. Despite being on mechanical ventilation with severe oxygen dependency and low oxygen levels, indicating potential multiple organ failure, the medical team provided continuous monitoring and necessary interventions. Ultimately, the patient regained consciousness and recovered on January 14, 2025. Post-recovery, she reported a near-death experience.
Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of rapid diagnosis and timely initiation of antibiotics in patients with sepsis. Missing the golden window for starting treatment can swiftly lead to multiple organ failure and death. Therefore, obstetricians and emergency physicians should always consider sepsis diagnostic algorithms to perform necessary interventions promptly.
