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.Entities:
