PPTX27 pages318 KB
Pregnancy in women with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) presents increased risks for both maternal morbidity and mortality, although outcomes have improved with modern management. This presentation outlines essential care strategies, beginning with preconceptual counseling to address risks like dehydration, anemia, and potential fetal complications. It details antenatal care, focusing on preventing pain crises and organ damage, and intrapartum management to ensure adequate oxygenation and hydration. Postpartum care includes monitoring for complications, appropriate prophylaxis, and guidance on breastfeeding and contraception.
