COMPLICATIONS
• Morbidity
• 1.Thrombosis
• 2.Renal& liver dysfunction
• 3.ARDS
• 4.Psychological burden & their willingness to undergo
further fertility tt (Verberg et al., 2008).
• 5.Pregnancy-related complications
Miscarraige
PTL
PIH
(Abramovet al., 1998; Courbiereet al., 2011).

• Causes of mortality in OHSS
• 1.ARDS .
• 2.Cerebral infarction.
• 3.Hepatorenalfailure.

•So how to prevent OHSS
???
wael Naeem 13
14wael Naeem
wael Naeem 15
• 1-Reducing dose of Gondatrophins
• 2-using GNRH antagonist
• 3- reducing dose of HCG triggering
wael Naeem 16
• 4- Avoiding use of HCG for triggering …
• 5- Alternatives for triggering .
• 6- avoiding use of HCG for luteal phase
support
• 7- IVM
wael Naeem 17
• 8- insulin sensitizing agents ( metformin )
• 9- cycle cancellation
• 10- Cryopreservation of All embryos
wael Naeem 18
• 11- Antagonist Salvage .
• 12- Albumin Vs HES .
• 13- Dopamine agonists .

Treatment of OHSS
• In patient
VS
out patient
wael Naeem 20
Outpatient management of OHSS
• Indication:
• 1.Mild or moderate OHSS
• 2.Selected cases with severe OHSS
wael Naeem 21
Treatment:
1- Reassurance:
II-. Instruct the patient .
1. Fluid intake
2. fluid chart
wael Naeem 22
•3. Avoid:
• a. Strenuous exercise
• b. Sexual intercourse {fear of injury or torsion
of hyperstimulatedovaries}.
• c. Complete bed rest {Increase DVT}
wael Naeem 23
• 4. Urgent clinical review:
• a. increasing severity of pain
• b. increasing abdominal distension
• c. shortness of breath
• d. reduced u output
wael Naeem 24
• III. Analgesia:
• Paracetamol or codeine
• NSAID should not be used
wael Naeem 25
• IV. Continue progesterone luteal support
but hCG luteal support is inappropriate.
wael Naeem 26
V. Severe OHSS
• 1. Thromboprophylaxis with LMWH.
The duration individualized, taking into account
risk factors whether or not conception occurs.
• 2. Paracentesis of ascitic fluid
carried out on an outpatient basis by the
abdominal or transvaginalroute under
ultrasound guidance.
wael Naeem 27
VII. Review and monitoring:
• Urgently
if symptoms or signs of worsening
• In the absence of these
every 2–3 days .
• Baseline laboratory investigations
repeated if severity is thought to be worsening.
Hct
useful guide to the degree of intravascular volume
depletion.
wael Naeem 28
S & S of worsening OHSS
• 1.increasing abdominal distension and pain
• 2.shortness of breath
• 3.tachycardia or hypotension
• 4.reduced urine output (≤ 1000 ml/24 h)
• 5.positive fluid balance (≥1000 ml/24 h)
• 6.weight gain and increased abdominal girth
• 7.increasing haematocrit(≥ 0.45).
wael Naeem 29
Inpatient management
Indication
• 1.unable to achieve satisfactory pain control
• 2.unable to maintain adequate fluid intake due
to nausea
• 3.show signs of worsening OHSS despite
outpatient intervention
• 4.unable to attend for regular outpatient follow-
up
• 5.have critical OHSS.
wael Naeem 30
Paracentesis
• when to DO ???
wael Naeem 31
• 1-severe abdominal distension and abdominal
pain secondary to ascites
• 2.shortness of breath and respiratory
compromise secondary to ascites and
increased intra-abdominal pressure
• 3.oliguria despite adequate volume
replacement secondary to increased
abdominal pressure causing reduced renal
perfusion.
wael Naeem 32
• Never to USE
Diuretics
wael Naeem 33
Surgery be cautious
• Indication
• 1.adnexal torsion: Laparoscopic ‘untwisting
• 2.ovarian rupture
• 3.ectopic pregnancy
