Hyderabad: Factor V deficiency did not prevent doctors at Rainbow Children’s Hospitals from safely delivering a 23-year-old pregnant woman.
The woman from Kurnool in Andhra Pradesh consulted Rainbow doctors in June at 39 weeks of pregnancy. Medical tests then revealed the rare blood disorder.
Doctors said Factor V deficiency can cause severe bleeding during childbirth. They described the condition as rare and potentially life-threatening during delivery.
Because of the complexity, doctors planned the treatment well before delivery. A multidisciplinary team led by senior consultant and obstetrician Dr. Himabindu Annamaraju managed the case.
The team included specialists from clinical hematology, transfusion medicine and anesthesia. These departments coordinated closely to prepare for possible complications during childbirth.
The medical team subsequently carried out the delivery successfully. Doctors said both the mother and baby were healthy after the procedure.
Factor V deficiency required coordinated treatment
Doctors monitored the woman because Factor V deficiency can increase the risk of severe bleeding. The team therefore prepared the delivery plan with support from multiple specialties.
Meanwhile, hematology specialists assessed the blood-related risks before the procedure. Transfusion medicine experts also joined the preparations for the delivery.
Anesthesia specialists formed another part of the multidisciplinary team. Their involvement helped the doctors coordinate the planned procedure around the woman’s rare condition.
The case involved a young woman who had reached 39 weeks of pregnancy. Doctors identified the blood disorder during medical evaluation after she consulted the hospital.
Rainbow doctors said the coordinated approach helped them complete the delivery successfully. They also confirmed that the newborn and mother remained healthy.
The case highlighted the challenges that rare blood disorders can create during childbirth. However, advance planning and coordination between specialties helped the medical team manage the delivery.
