Efficiency of prothrombin complex concentrate in massive obstetric bleedings
Abstract
Authors report an interesting case report of Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC) administration in a pregnant patient admitted in emergency with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) and cirrhosis of the liver with intrauterine foetal death (IUFD). PCC treatment was effective to control bleeding and its associated complications in our patient with severe liver function derangement by INR reduction and promoted early recovery and discharge from the hospital. Use of PCCs to prevent bleeding in patients with liver coagulopathy obstetric haemorrhage and it’s superiority to FFPs have not been reported very well in literature. Our case report is a small contribution in highlighting the benefits of PCCs as life saviour in prevention of bleeding in emergency.
