  • Title: [Management of endotoxic shock in abortion].
    Author: Del Rio G, Grudsky C, Monetta O, Herrera M.
    Journal: Rev Chil Obstet Ginecol; 1976; 41(3):166-73. PubMed ID: 1013443.
    Abstract:
    The article analyzes 26 cases of septic shock caused by septic abortion which occurred in 1974 and in 1975 in a large metropolitan hospital in Santiago, Chile. Patients were mostly between 26-27 and with parity 2; hospital stay was on average 10.5 days; 5 patients died. Several causes intervene in the process of septic abortion, among which are a massive intravascular coagulation, and an increase in the product of fibrin degradation. The article describes in details the protocol of treatment of septic shock, and emphasizes the need for a massive program of prevention of induced abortion.
