Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy and adult respiratory distress syndrome: life-threatening complications of hysteroscopy. 1990

R Jedeikin, and D Olsfanger, and I Kessler

Department of Anesthesia, Meir Hospital, Kfar Saba, Israel.

A 23-year-old, healthy woman underwent hysteroscopy during which Hyskon solution was injected into the uterine cavity. Soon afterward she developed a bleeding coagulopathy followed by acute respiratory insufficiency and pulmonary edema, necessitating endotracheal intubation and artificial ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure. This rare complication of hysteroscopy was most probably due to the injection of Hyskon solution.

D004211	Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation	A disorder characterized by procoagulant substances entering the general circulation causing a systemic thrombotic process. The activation of the clotting mechanism may arise from any of a number of disorders. A majority of the patients manifest skin lesions, sometimes leading to PURPURA FULMINANS.
