ABSTRACT
Background: Third stage of labour is still the “sword of Damocle’s” hanging above an obstetrician , inspite of today’s advanced technologies and personal care .The importance in the management of this deadly stage lies in the anticipation of complications and being quick enough to treat them timely. Hence in such scenarios, B-lynch suture is most popular method in treatment of uterine atony during caesarean section. The objective is to study and evaluate the cases in which the B-Lynch suture was used to treat the uterine atony during caesarean section.Methods: A prospective randomized study consisting of 50 women with high risk factors for atonic pph during caesarean section were included as study group patients were subjected to B-Lynch suture application when conventional drugs failed to control PPH. Blood loss was measured using a measuring jar. The fall in Hb% and the need for blood transfusion, and the need for hysterectomy as a last resort to save the life was evaluated.Results: The average blood loss was 1490 ml and the majority of patients had reduction in Hb% from 1.1-1.5 gm% (52%), 36% of the patients did not receive any blood transfusion after B-Lynch suture, and in 80% of cases hysterectomy was avoided.Conclusions: Our study shows cases treated with B-Lynch procedure showed that it is an effective method of containing pph. It has the advantage of being applied easily and safely. It should be attempted when conservative management fails and before any radical surgery is considered.
ABSTRACT
Background: PPH is responsible for quarter of maternal deaths occurring worldwide and its incidence is increasing in developed world. According to Confidential Enquiries into Maternal and Child Health (CEMACH) report obstetric hemorrhage occurs in around3.7 per 1000 births. The objective of the study is that it was a prospective randomized comparative study of misoprostol and balloon tamponade via condom catheter to prevent postpartum hemorrhage in normal delivered patients at MYH.Methods: A sample size of 200 normal delivered patients between age group 18 and 45 years is chosen with excessive bleeding after third stage of labour and after administration of oxytocics. These 200 patients are divided into two groups: First group receiving Misoprostol and applying condom catheter in other group. Both groups are evaluated for PPH.Results: It was found that CG balloon condom catheter was a much better and more effective alternative in controlling PPH than Misoprostol as the failure rate with CG balloon condom catheter were much less than that with misoprostol. Due to its cost effectiveness and being easily available at primary health center and due to absence of any drug reactions and easy technique of formation makes it a better modality in controlling PPH even at PHC.Conclusions: Patients with condom catheter in situ must show better result than patients receiving misoprostol.
ABSTRACT
Quando a paciente tem uma cesárea anterior e está indicada a interrupção da gravidez, há duas possibilidades de conduta: a repetição da cesárea ou a indução do parto. A cesárea iterativa ou a indução do parto em pacientes com cesárea anterior apresentam riscos e benefícios. Uma complicação rara e perigosa, relacionada à presença de uma cicatriz uterina, é a ruptura uterina. Isso pode ocorrer antes ou durante o trabalho de parto em pacientes com cesárea anterior. Os riscos associados a uma tentativa de parto vaginal são maiores do que aqueles decorrentes de cesárea iterativa, mas permanecem baixos. Acreditamos que, em locais adequados, a indução do parto vaginal após cesárea é uma opção aceitável para mulheres, sem apresentar contraindicações, e é uma conduta obstétrica recomendável.
When a woman has had a previous cesarean section and is indicated interruption of pregnancy, there are two options for her management: elective repeat cesarean or planned induction of labour. Elective repeat caesarean section and induction of labour for women with a prior caesarean are both associated with risks and benefits. One uncommon, but potentially serious complication associated with a prior uterine surgery, including a previous caesarean section, is uterine rupture. This may occur prior to the onset of labour, or during labour in patients with previous cesarean section. The risk associated with an attempted vaginal delivery is greater than the risk associated with an elective repeated cesarean, but it remains low. We believe that, in the appropriate setting, planned induction of labour after a cesarean is an acceptable option for women without other contraindications, and that vaginal birth after a cesarean remains within the standard of care.
