Sir,

A 32 year old woman with severe pre-eclampsia has had an emergency caesarean section at 32 weeks gestation because of IUGR. She became hypotensive and tachycardic and was returned to theatre where 2l of blood was evacuated from the abdomen and hysterectomy was performed. Three days later, she developed sudden onset severe chest pain and breathlessness and dies despite resuscitation

Your answer: F

Correct answer: N

Options are -
A Amniotic fluid embolism B Placental abruption
C Cardiomyopathy D Placenta praevia
E Chest infection F Pulmonary embolism
G CVA H Pulmonary hypertension
I Endocarditis J Sepsis
K Haemorrhage L Substance misuse
M HELLP syndrome N Thromboembolism
O Myocardial infarcation


The explaination given says - sudden onset of chest pain following major surgery in pregnancy = PE

So correct answer should be F.
Kindly clarify.
Thanks.
