Thromboprophylaxis – prophylactic LMWH dose by weight for at least 10 days
Corticosteroids – if oxygen dependent give for a total of 10 days or until discharge (oral prednisolone 40 mg OD or IV, hydrocortisone 80 mg BD)
If steroids are required for fetal lung maturation use dexamethasone 12 mg IM for two doses followed by either of the above corticosteroids for 10 days
Give tociluzimab (or sarilumab if unavailable) if hypoxic (oxygen requirement) and C‐reactive protein >75
If SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody negative and non‐Omicron variant (anti‐spike protein testing), consider 2.4 g Ronapreve® IV
Chest imaging is essential for evaluation of the unwell pregnant woman with Covid‐19 and should be performed if indicated
Careful fluid balance
Clinical deterioration (increasing oxygen requirements, SaO2 <93%, respiratory rate >22):
Convene the MDT to consider the site and location of care, including an obstetrician, anaesthetist, neonatologist, intensivist and infectious disease physician
Consider admission to critical care for respiratory support (invasive or non‐invasive), proning and early discussion with ECMO centre
7.7 Summary
Physiological and immune changes in pregnancy can increase the severity of some infections
Awareness is need to recognise sepsis which can present with non‐specific symptoms and signs
Do not rely on temperature (either high or low)
Altered mental state is a medical emergency
Antibiotics, fluid resuscitation and senior review must all happen within 1 hour
Puerperal sepsis can be insidious in onset and can progress rapidly to fulminating sepsis and death
Think sepsis; act quickly; assess and reassess; senior review; expert advice
