[Intensive care and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome].

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).

METHODS:

The clinical data of 20 OHSS patients were analyzed retrospectively.

RESULTS:

Severe OHSS occurred after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for superovulation. The major manifestations of OHSS included abdominal distension, nausea, ascites, hydrothorax, oliguria, concentrated blood, acid-base and electrolytes, disturbance, azotemia, thrombosis etc., which could be controlled by volume expansion with albumin, low-molecular-weight dextran, 6% Haes, abdominal and thoracic drainages or even early pregnancy termination.

CONCLUSION:

Preventive measure of OHSS is very important, and the patients must be treated timely and correctly once OHSS occurs.
