Successful management of a postpartum mother with severe COVID-19 associated ARDS complicated by life-threatening respiratory events
Abstract
Reported mortality of severe COVID-19 pneumonia-associated ARDS is high. This mortality rate increases further in obstetric patients who develop COVID-19 ARDS. We report a case of a postpartum mother who developed life-threatening events while being on respiratory support for severe COVID-19 pneumonia-associated ARDS and made a complete recovery due to the timely diagnosis and efficient interventions.
