ABSTRACT
Postpartum hypertension can significantly increase maternal morbidity and mortality, and hence it requires prompt interdisciplinary evaluation and interventions. We present a case of a gravid patient with significant comorbidities who required multiple treatments and care from several specialists following a complicated vaginal delivery. The outcome of this case depended on a focused differential diagnosis and interdisciplinary consultation with the several teams involved. This case report illustrates the importance of effective communication and an interdisciplinary approach in the management of postpartum hypertensive emergencies. Such an approach is crucial in reducing maternal complications following postpartum hypertension, as well as reducing the length of hospital stay to improve maternal and fetal outcomes.
