Of course is partnering with Lymphatouch. People paying to use this BS device does not mean they are prioritizing their recovery more than someone else. It just means they are putting money in YOUR pockets.

•Blood volume and cardiac output increase by 30-40% above the nonpregnant state by 28 weeks
•This hypervolemic state is protective for the patient, as fewer red cells are lost during hemorrhage
•Clinical signs of maternal shock manifest only after 40% of maternal blood volume is lost
•Late pregnancy is very susceptible to hypotension from compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in the supine position by the enlarged uterus
•The enlarged uterus causes elevation of the diaphragm by about 4 cm, and results in a decrease in the functional residual capacity by about 20%

A perimortem cesarean section (PMCS), also called resuscitative hysterotomy, is an emergency procedure performed when a pregnant patient in cardiac arrest cannot be resuscitated through other means. The goal is to improve the chances of both maternal and fetal survival by quickly delivering the fetus to relieve pressure on the mother’s major blood vessels and facilitate resuscitation efforts. The procedure should ideally be performed within 5 minutes of cardiac arrest, while cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) continues uninterrupted. If after 20 weeks, start at minute 4 to effect delivery by minute 5. A perimortem cesarean increases chances of maternal ROSC as it improves maternal cardiac output ~25% by two mechanisms:
•Reduces uterine blood flow
•Relieves diaphragmatic pressure and aortocaval compression It may also save a fetus after 23-24 weeks’ gestation.

Violence around the time of pregnancy often involves an intimate partner and can be severe. In the United States: -About 6% of people with a recent live birth experienced emotional, physical, or sexual violence during pregnancy by a current intimate partner. -Over two thirds of people who experienced violence by a current intimate partner during pregnancy also experienced it before pregnancy. -In 2018 to 2019, the homicide rate for women ages 15-44 was 16% higher among those who were pregnant or within one year of pregnancy compared to those who were not. -Almost half (45.3%) of homicides to women who were pregnant or within one year of pregnancy have been found to involve intimate partner violence. -Depression, smoking, and using ma*****na or other illegal drugs during pregnancy was more than twice as common among those who experienced intimate partner violence during pregnancy compared with those who did not.

Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which the pregnancy implants within the peritoneal cavity, exclusive of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, broad ligament, and cervix. It is further classified as early (≤20 weeks of gestation) or advanced (>20 weeks of gestation). Abdominal pregnancy is associated with high maternal and fetal morbidity (eg, maternal hemorrhage, fistula formation, fetal malformation) and mortality. However, some abdominal pregnancies may continue to a viable gestation and successful pregnancy outcomes have been reported. Patients with hemorrhage and existing or impending hemodynamic instability or with embryonic/fetal demise require surgical removal of the pregnancy. Hemodynamically stable patients may choose expectant management or termination; the decision is generally determined by gestational age, but other factors (eg, patient preference, experience of the physician caring for the patient, presence of a fetal anomaly or severe oligohydramnios, access to a tertiary care hospital) also guide management decisions. The optimal management of the placenta is unclear and various methods (eg, removal of the placenta at the time of surgery, leaving the placenta in situ, pre- or postoperative methotrexate, selective embolization of the placental bed) may be used.
