Case Report: Maternal near-miss—recovery from refractory septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction secondary to acute pyelonephritis in pregnancy
This case study explores three critical clinical challenges: strategies for early identification of high-risk pregnant women for sepsis; optimal timing for interventions in obstructive urinary tract infections to prevent septic shock and multi-organ dysfunction; and the implementation of mechanical circulatory support. The circulatory support protocol highlights the importance of personalized interventions in complex medical scenarios.
