[Uterine rupture causing acute defibrination syndrome. Apropos of 3 cases].
The authors report three cases of rupture of the uterus during delivery, complicated by an acute defibrination syndrome. Death resulted in two cases. The sequence of rupture of the uterus----shock----pathological condition of coagulation----great increase in the shock occurred in all three patients. This sequence could only be arrested in one of the three patients who had a total hysterectomy. Partial hysterectomy in the other two was ineffective. These three case histories suggest that total hysterectomy after even partial correction of the haemorrhagic state can be the best treatment in this very serious condition.
