Abstract

We report a case of a 36-year-old gravida 2 para 1 woman at 38 weeks of gestation. A caesarean section was performed for severe pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction and oligohydramnios. The patient suffered postoperative bleeding, and exploratory laparotomy was performed. Uterine atonia, Couvelaire uterus and left adnexal haematoma were found, requiring a supracervical hysterectomy. As COVID-19 pneumonia and superimposed bacterial infection developed, the patient was mechanically ventilated in the intensive care unit. Remdesivir and meropenem were initially administered, but were changed to levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin following antibiotic sensitivity tests. Blood culture grew Enterococcus galinarum. Meanwhile, bleeding of the incisional wound occurred, which was controlled by the cessation of heparin therapy and regular wound care. With intensive monitoring and multidisciplinary management, the patient’s condition improved, and she was discharged from the hospital on day 25 from admission.
