Summary
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a serious but uncommon complication of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). OHSS causes major signs and symptoms, including increased vascular permeability following fluid accumulation in the third space that leads to ascites and abdominal overdistention (American Society for Reproductive medicine, Birmingham, Alabama, 2016). Severe OHSS can cause serious complications, such as pleural effusion, renal failure and thromboembolism (American Society for Reproductive medicine, Birmingham, Alabama, 2016). The classic pathophysiology of OHSS is arterial dilatation and increased capillary permeability, which cause body fluids to shift from intravascular to extravascular spaces. This fluid shift results in a hypovolemic hyponatremia state (Bergh & Navot, 1992, Geva and Jaffe, 2000; Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive medicine, 2016)
