AbstractHemorrhagic shock developed in a 29-year-old nullipara without coagulopathy after emergency caesarean section. Treatment with uterotonic drugs, prostaglandins, and conservative procedures with transfusion of packed red cells and fresh-frozen plasma failed to control the diffuse vaginal and uterine bleeding. Finally an intravenous bolus injection of 90 microg/kg recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven, Novo Nordisk A/S, Bagsvaerd, Denmark), was given and showed success within 20 minutes after administration, without any side effects.
