[Intensive care and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).


METHODS
The clinical data of 20 OHSS patients were analyzed retrospectively.


RESULTS
Severe OHSS occurred after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for superovulation. The major manifestations of OHSS included abdominal distension, nausea, ascites, hydrothorax, oliguria, concentrated blood, acid-base and electrolytes, disturbance, azotemia, thrombosis etc., which could be controlled by volume expansion with albumin, low-molecular-weight dextran, 6% Haes, abdominal and thoracic drainages or even early pregnancy termination.


CONCLUSIONS
Preventive measure of OHSS is very important, and the patients must be treated timely and correctly once OHSS occurs.
