Massive obstetric hemorrhage in a Jehovah's Witness: intraoperative strategies and high-dose erythropoietin use.

Michael Belfort1, Shalece Kofford, Michael Varner.   

Abstract

A massive obstetric hemorrhage resulting in an extremely low hematocrit (5.9%) required innovative intraoperative and postoperative management. We used a combination of rapid intraoperative volume replacement, aortic compression, chemical coma, high-dose erythropoietin, and enteral iron replacement to elevate the hematocrit in a patient refusing blood transfusions. © Thieme Medical Publishers.
