Also known as: GSW to chest
Jerry is shot during the ER attack and sustains a bullet wound that nicks his right ventricle, leading to cardiac arrest, MI from coronary artery occlusion during repair, and requiring coronary artery bypass grafting.
Also known as: Abruption
Abby sustains abdominal trauma when she falls during the ER crisis, leading to placental abruption with severe bleeding, preterm delivery at approximately 29-30 weeks, DIC, and ultimately requiring an emergency hysterectomy for uncontrolled hemorrhage.
Also known as: Premature birth
Abby delivers her son Joe via emergency C-section at approximately 29-30 weeks gestation due to placental abruption. The baby requires intubation, has bradycardia at birth requiring resuscitation, and faces complications of prematurity including concerns for IVH.
Also known as: DIC
Abby develops DIC secondary to placental abruption, consuming her clotting factors and worsening her postpartum hemorrhage despite massive transfusion protocol.
Also known as: Bleeding after delivery
Following delivery, Abby experiences severe uterine hemorrhage that does not respond to uterotonics, packing, or surgical interventions (O'Leary stitch, B-Lynch brace), ultimately requiring hysterectomy.
Also known as: Surgical complication causing heart attack
During surgical repair of Jerry's cardiac gunshot wound, a suture inadvertently occludes the right coronary artery causing an acute MI and ventricular tachycardia requiring recognition and revision.
Also known as: Medication-induced paralysis
Luka is accidentally injected with succinylcholine by Sam's trainee during the ER attack, causing paralysis and requiring emergency intubation. He subsequently develops bronchospasm, likely from aspiration.
Also known as: Diabetes
Alex's diabetes is mentioned as a concern during the kidnapping, with Steve forgetting about his insulin needs and Alex requiring food to prevent hypoglycemia.
