Sepsis en primigesta de 17 años con embarazo de 24 semanas

Sepsis in obstetrics is due to the presence of infection during the period elapsed at day 1 of pregnancy until reaching 42 days after the puerperium, it occupies the second place of maternal deaths worldwide there are annually 5 million cases of which 62,000 end in maternal deaths The criteria for the diagnosis of sepsis in the pregnant population are extrapolated from the general population, so it is often misleading to confuse with the physiological changes of pregnancy, which is why its diagnosis is a challenge for the clinician. Sepsis and septic shock during pregnancy can result from both obstetric and non-obstetric factors, as well as from conditions that complicate pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. The incidence of sepsis increases with age, the use of immunosuppressive agents, invasive procedures and the number of resistant microorganisms. Septic shock in obstetric patients is rare. In the beginning, sepsis manifests itself in the primary focus of infection, as the infection progresses and becomes more severe, a state of decreased perfusion occurs, which translates into the presence of metabolic acidosis, decreased urine production, vasoconstriction and finally alteration in the functioning of the organs. Identification and treatment must be dynamic, if there is a delay in one of them, it can have catastrophic consequences The symptoms of sepsis can be nonspecific, causing delay in diagnosis and adequate treatment with possibly fatal consequences
