Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Viral Infection in Late Pregnancy: Report of a Case.
Hymel BJ, Diaz JH, Labrie-Brown CL, Kaye AD.
Abstract

Health care workers, including anesthesia providers, are often exposed to different infectious disease processes. In the operating room, anesthesia providers, nurses, and surgical staff use universal precautions as a standard of practice. The novel influenza A (H1N1) epidemic has heightened concerns because diagnosis is often delayed and transmission can affect those in a close radius to the infected host. The objectives of this report are to describe the intensive care management and outcomes of severe H1N1 viral infection in a patient in the last trimester of pregnancy and to review the epidemiology, management, and outcomes of similar US cases.
