This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

30. Tests and diagnosis
• Physical exam:
– weight gain
– increases in waist size
– abdominal pain
• Pelvic and abdominal ultrasound:
– ovaries bigger than normal
– large fluid-filled cysts where follicles developed
• Blood tests:
– blood concentration, kidney function
31.
32. Complications
• Fluid collection in the abdomen + the chest
• Electrolyte disturbances (sodium, potassium)
• Blood clots in large vessels, usually in the legs
• Kidney failure
• Twisting of an ovary
• Rupture of a cyst in an ovary - serious bleeding
• Breathing problems
• Pregnancy loss
• Rarely, death
34. OHSS Management.
Intensive care admission
• Renal failure (oligoanuria) or failure to respond to fluid
management or paracentesis as patient may require
dialysis
• Respiratory failure not responding to diuresis or
paracentesis, patient may require ventilation
• Clinical appearance of acute respiratory distress syndrome
(ARDS)
• Thromboembolism
• Tense ascites or large hydrothorax
• Haematocrit > 55%
• WCC > 25,000/ml
35.
36. Treatment of OHSS
To date, there is no treatment that will shorten
the course of illness.
37. Treatment of OHSS
• Most cases are managed as outpatients
• ASK: can they keep themselves hydrated
orally? Will they be able to cope at home?
• Often will only need simple IV rehydration,
analgesics and anti-emetics in the Emergency
Department prior to discharge
38. Workup in the Emergency Department
• FAST exam
• +/-ECG
• +/- CXR if examination suggestive of pleural
effusion/pneumonia etc.
• Formal Ultrasound (increased risk of
heterotopic pregnancy)
39. OHSS Management
• Supportive management:
– Prevention of thromboembolism (TE)
– Hydration
– Drainage of ascites
– Pain relief

42. • A challenge due to the porous nature of the vascular
bed
• Drink to thirst rather than to excess
• If cannot tolerate oral fluids, intravenous (IV) fluids
such as normal saline should be commenced
• The volume should be titrated using the hematocrit as
indicator of the state of hydration
• Excess i.v. fluids could make the condition worse.
• Constant monitoring of the input/output balance is
mandatory.
OHSS Management. Hydration
43. OHSS Management. Hydration
• Diuretics are contraindicated in case of
haemoconcentration
• Diuretics can be used only where renal output
is decreased on a background of normal
haematocrit.
• Women with severe haemoconcentration (Hb
>14g/dl); Htc >45%) require a bolus of 500 ml
fluids intravenous (IV) on admission.
44. OHSS Management. Hydration
Albumin
• administration should be kept for a later stage,
• in case of hypo-albuminaemia
• administration is important during drainage of
ascites.
• daily dose: 25 - 75g (100 – 300 ml) per day
according to the severity of hypoalbuminaemia
and the total volume of ascetic fluid drained.
45. Treatment of Complications
Ovarian enlargement:
• Grade III ovarian cysts are extremely large and
brittle
• Recommended surgery avoided unless torsion
or rupture with hemorrhage
• In the 50s, attempts at cystectomy would
inevitably lead to oophorectomy
46. Treatment of Complications
Ascites:
• Initial weight gain of >3kg following hCG
admin is a warning that OHSS is developing
• Women can gain as much as 20kg over 5
days!!
47. Treatment of Complications
Ascites
Leads to multitude of complications
• Pain (can be severe)
• Hypovolemia
• Decrease diaphragmatic excursion
• Compression of Renal Vessels (essentially
abdominal compartment syndrome)
48. Paracentesis
• Effect of paracentesis of ascitic fluids on
urinary output and blood indices in patients
with severe ovarian hyperstimulation
syndrome.
Ishai Levin, Benny Almog, Amiram Avni, Amiram Baram, Joseph
B. Lessing, Ronni Gamzu. Fertility and Sterility 2002 77: 986
49. Paracentesis
• Practice locally is to perform paracentesis in
patients complaining of dyspnea, or pain with
tense ascites.
• Similar to ascites in liver disease, patients feel
good for a short time, prior to reaccumulation.
50. Pulmonary Complications
• Restrictive pattern of pulmonary dysfunction
secondary to combination of intra-abdominal
and pleural fluid accumulation
• Pneumonia
• ARDS
• Pulmonary embolism
51. Pulmonary Complications
• Pleural effusions should be drained if causing
symptoms
• Paracentesis will also improve pulmonary
restriction
52. Thromboembolic Events
• Recommended that moderate-severe OHSS should
receive prophylaxis for 1-2 months beyond the
resolution of symptoms (Chan, 2009)
• Guidelines - low dose ASA from start of cycle until
pregnancy confirmed or OHSS subsides
• Admitted patients or those requiring paracentesis
receive LMWH prophylaxis
• Confirmed DVT/PE treated with LMWH
53. CONCLUSION
• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome occurs
most commonly in patients undergoing IVF
• May see 1-2 per month in the Emergency Dept.
• Severe cases can present with tense ascites,
hypovolemic shock and thromboembolic
events.
• Treatment is largely supportive care
