General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six
Hemorrhage remains the leading cause of direct pregnancy-related death in both the developing world and the developed world. Young, healthy patients compensate for hemorrhage via peripheral vasoconstriction, delaying the emergence of vital sign abnormalities until 15-30% of total blood volume has
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of death during childbirth and accounts for an estimated 140,000 deaths per year worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends active management of the third stage of labor to prevent PPH, even in low risk patients. Prophylactic
Uterine atony is the major cause of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), accounting for up to 80% of PPH cases. PPH is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, resulting in up to 28% of maternal deaths. Therefore, inducing a rapid and effective uterine contraction following delivery

PPH occurs in approximately 1-5% of deliveries in the United States and accounts for 20-25% of maternal deaths worldwide. PPH is difficult to predict, but classically, risk factors for PPH- uterine atony, abruption, retained tissue, lacerations, infection, obesity, preeclampsia, magnesium
A double-blind randomized study conducted on 1200 obese pregnant subjected randomly either to single 100 μg IV dose of carbetocin (600 women) or combination of 5 IU oxytocin and 0.5 mg ergometrine (600 women) after fetal extraction and before placental removal.

Introduction: Obesity affects approximately 1/3rd of all reproductive-aged women and is associated with increased maternal morbidity during and after cesarean section. The optimal surgical approach has not been well elucidated for obese individuals.
Materials and Methods: This is a randomized
Thromboembolic events are among the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in pregnancy / postpartum period. They are the leading cause of maternal death in developed countries. Risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) during pregnancy and postpartum as family history or personal
- Postpartum hemorrhage was traditionally defined as blood loss in excess of 500 mL from a vaginal delivery or 1000 mL at cesarean section. It can result from uterine atony, retained placental tissue including that from abnormal placentation, maternal genital tract trauma and coagulopathies. (Almog
In view of the growing concern over the rising incidence of later maternal age and morbid obesity in the obstetric population, scientific evidence on pregnancy outcomes in these patients is timely and important. The investigators' previously validated in-vitro model provides a solid foundation for
