Woman in shock after ruptured ectopic pregnancy saved by emergency surgery at Lloyds hospital in Hedri

The medical team at Lloyds Kali Amma Memorial Hospital in Hedri, Gadchiroli district, successfully treated a 30-year-old woman who arrived in a life-threatening condition. According to the hospital, she had internal bleeding after an ectopic pregnancy, one lodged outside the uterus, ruptured. She was brought in in severe shock due to blood loss.

The hospital said the woman was admitted to the emergency department with haemoglobin of only 5.8 grams per decilitre. Given her condition, the emergency team immediately began initial life-saving treatment. She was then shifted to the ICU for further treatment and stabilisation.

The hospital said detailed tests showed that the ectopic pregnancy had ruptured. This is a very serious medical emergency that required immediate surgery, so it was decided to perform an emergency exploratory laparotomy.

The hospital said the woman's blood pressure was highly unstable and she was severely anaemic. Noradrenaline had to be used to keep her blood pressure under control, which made the operation and the anaesthesia a major challenge for the team.

The hospital said blood transfusion and other essential life-saving treatment continued even as the patient was being taken to the operation theatre. A specialist team of surgeons operated immediately. During the operation, the hospital's anaesthesia specialists monitored anaesthesia, blood pressure and other vital functions.

According to the hospital, the patient's condition was extremely critical before the operation, yet the entire surgery was completed successfully without any complications. She was then returned to the ICU for further monitoring and treatment. The hospital said early diagnosis, precise surgery and coordination between anaesthesia and other departments ensured that the patient received the right treatment in time.

B. Prabhakaran, Managing Director of Lloyds Metals and Energy Limited, congratulated the medical team. He praised the dedication and promptness of the doctors and all the healthcare staff involved in the treatment. Prabhakaran said it was gratifying that the modern facilities at Lloyds Kali Amma Memorial Hospital were providing people in a remote area with timely, good healthcare. He added that, particularly in serious and emergency situations, these facilities were becoming an important health support for people in the surrounding area.
