ABSTRACT
Preeclampsia is defined as elevation of blood pressure and any of the following severity criteria: proteinuria, thrombocytopenia, elevation of creatinine in the absence of another renal pathology, elevation of transaminases, pulmonary edema, or neurological symptoms. However, after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously normotensive patient, cases of preeclampsia associated with molar pregnancy have been described in patients at less than 20 weeks of gestation. A 26-year-old woman, at 14.1 weeks of gestation was admitted to the lower extremities with facial edema, holocranial headache, nausea, epigastralgia, phosphenes, and photophobia, with a double-length uterine fundus for gestational age and ultrasonography. Obstetricians who showed images of snowflakes without fetuses and annexes had multiple thecal-lutein cysts. Atypical preeclampsia was identified using the severity data for complete hydatidiform moles. Given the possibility of serious complications that may endanger the life of the maternal-fetal binomial, atypical forms of preeclampsia should be suspected.
ABSTRACT
Resumen: La mujer durante el embarazo, parto y puerperio presenta cambios anatómicos, fisiológicos y en la dinámica ventilatoria, por lo que una de las complicaciones que puede presentar es el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda, el cual representa un reto para el clínico, pudiendo aparecer complicaciones en el embarazo como corioamnionitis, aborto, embolismo de líquido amniótico. El abordaje y tratamiento del síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda es primordial, se han presentado avances en la estrategia ventilatoria como: disminución del volumen tidal y posición prono durante la ventilación mecánica, que han mejorado el pronóstico de manera favorable en esta población.
Abstract: The woman during pregnancy, delivery and puerperium presents anatomical changes, physiological and ventilatory dynamics, so one of the complications that may present is the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) representing a challenge for the clinician, and complications may appear in pregnancy as chorioamnionitis, abortion, amniotic fluid embolism. The approach and treatment of ARDS in the patient is paramount. Advances have been made in the ventilatory strategy, such as: decreased tidal volume, prone position during mechanical ventilation, which have improved the prognosis favorably in this population.
Resumo: A mulher durante a gestação, parto e puerpério apresenta alterações anatômicas, fisiológicas e ventilatórias, por isso uma das complicações que ela pode apresentar é a Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Agudo (SDRA), representando um desafio para o clínico, podendo aparecer complicações na gestação, como corioamnionitis, aborto, embolia do líquido amniótico. A abordagem e tratamento da SDRA no paciente é essencial, houve avanços na estratégia ventilatória como: diminuição do volume corrente, posição prona durante a ventilação mecânica, que melhoraram o prognóstico favoravelmente nessa população.
