ABSTRACT

Introduction: Anal incontinence is defined as the loss of voluntary control of fecal matter or gases with a recurrence period longer than 3 months in individuals aged ≥ 4 years; it has a female predominance. Among the treatment modalities is pelvic physiotherapy, the second line of treatment, which promotes the reeducation, coordination, and strengthening of the muscles of the pelvic floor to enable patients to return to their regular activities of daily living. Objective: To perform a systematic review on the physiotherapeutic treatments used in women between the ages of 18 and 65 years with a diagnosis of anal incontinence. Material and methods Clinical studies written in Portuguese, Spanish and English were searched on the the following databases: Science Direct, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline) via PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and Scopus. Results: Of the 998 articles found, only 4 studies met the inclusion criteria of the present systematic review. The physiotherapeutic approaches to treat women with anal incontinence are biofeedback, Kegel exercises, electrostimulation, and training of the pelvic floor muscles. The average score on the PEDro scale was of 6.25, which indicates that the methodological quality was good. Conclusion: Although pelvic physiotherapy is effective to treat anal incontinence, it must be promoted through the performance of evidence-based scientific research. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Estudo descritivo com objetivo de caracterizar as remoções maternas da Casa do Parto de Sapopemba, em São Paulo, para hospitais de referência, entre setembro de 1998 e julho de 2008. A população do estudo compôs-se de 229 casos. Os dados foram obtidos dos prontuários e dos livros de registro de remoções. Foi realizada análise descritiva. A taxa de remoção materna foi de 5,8 por cento (5,5 por cento intraparto e 0,3 por cento pós-parto). A maioria das mulheres removidas para o hospital era nulípara (78,6 por cento). O motivo mais frequente para remoção intraparto foi anormalidade da pélvis materna ou do feto (22,6 por cento) e para a remoção pós-parto, anormalidade da dequitação (50 por cento). Destacaram-se a nuliparidade, dilatação cervical na admissão, membranas ovulares rotas e idade gestacional superior a 40 semanas como variáveis importantes para o estudo de fatores de risco para remoção materna.


The objective of this descriptive study was to characterize the transfers of mothers from the Sapopemba Birth Center to reference hospitals in São Paulo, from September 1998 to July 2008. The studied population was 229 cases of mother transfers. Data were obtained from medical records and record books of the transferred women. Descriptive analysis was performed. The transfer rate was 5.8 percent (5.5 percent in the intrapartum period and 0.3 percent in the postpartum period). Most women who were transferred to the hospital were nulliparous (78.6 percent). The most common reason for intrapartum transfers was fetal or pelvis abnormalities (22.6 percent), and abnormal placental detachment (50 percent) for women in the postpartum period. Some conditions such as nulliparity, cervical dilation at admission, rupture of the membranes and gestational age over 40 weeks were highlighted as important variables for studying the risk factors for mothers being transferred.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Mostrar el beneficio del trabajo multidisciplinario en el tratamiento de las hemorragias graves del posparto, resaltando el papel del anestesiólogo en la toma de decisiones cuando se emplea la embolización arterial uterina para lograr hemostasia. Material y método: Se registró la hemostasia, la presencia de shock, el volumen de reposición, la estadía en la UCI y la histerectomía de 47 pacientes con hemorragias graves del posparto sin respuesta al tratamiento inicial y posteriormente embolizadas. Se evaluó la importancia del llamado de ayuda precoz y la participación del anestesiólogo. Resultados: Se logró hemostasia en todos los casos, sin mortalidad materna y con baja morbilidad y pocas complicaciones. La embolización fue eficaz y segura con 91,5 por ciento de hemostasia definitiva; el fracaso de 8,5 por ciento obedeció a roturas vaginales y uterinas severas desapercibidas. La decisión del anestesiólogo de realizar la embolización uterina fue tomada en forma más precoz, con menos incidencia de shock y menores requerimientos de reposición; esto comparado con los casos en los que no intervino en esa decisión. Discusión: La hemorragia grave del posparto es una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad materna que impone la acción coordinada y rápida de múltiples especialistas implicados en estos graves cuadros. Se ha reportado que esta intervención multidisciplinaria, incluyendo la embolización uterina, permite, mejorar dicho tratamiento. En este trabajo pudimos confirmar estos conceptos y demostrar que el beneficio es mayor cuando los especialistas tratantes intervienen más precozmente. Conclusión: La actuación conjunta de especialistas en las hemorragia graves del posparto y la incorporación de la embolización uterina a la terapéutica ofrecen excelentes resultados de hemostasia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of intracutaneous injections of sterile water in relieving low back pain during labor in Thai women. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Taksin Hospital, Bangkok. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Fifty pregnant women at term, requiring pain relief for severe low back pain during the first stage of labor. The women were randomized to receive either 4 intracutaneous injections of 0.1 mL sterile water (n = 25) or isotonic saline as placebo (n = 25). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain scores measured by visual analogue scale. RESULTS: Mean pain scores were significantly lower among the treatment group compared to the placebo group at 30 minutes, 1 and 2 hours after injections (p = 0.018, 0.046, and 0.027 respectively). Mean pain reduction were significantly greater in the treatment group compared to the placebo group at 30 minutes, 1 and 2 hours after injections (p < 0.001). There was no difference between the two groups with regard to time to delivery and rate of instrumental and cesarean delivery. CONCLUSION: The intracutaneous injections of sterile water was found to be an effective treatment against lower back pain during the first stage of labor.

ABSTRACT

To see the frequency of foetal and maternal complications of neglected transverse lie at a tertiary care hospital. This prospective study was conducted at Gynae B Unit Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, Pakistan, from 1st January I997, to 31st December I997. Eighty-seven Patients presenting with neglected transverse lie were included in this study. Detail information regarding name, age, address, parity, past history, physical, abdominal and vaginal examination findings, general management and specific managements like internal podalic version, caesarean section, foetal complications and maternal complications of neglected transverse lie were entered into a predesigned proforma for the purpose. The maternal complications in order of frequency were dehydration 86.5% [n=77], pyrexia 41.37% [n=36], wound sepsis 31.03% [n=27], antepartum haemorrhage [APH] 16.09% [n=14] and postpartum haemorrhage [PPH] 14.94% [n=13] and maternal death 1.14% [n=1]. The foetal complications of neglected transverse lie were fresh stillbirth 55.17% [n=48], prematurity 14.94% [n=13], alive with poor Apgar score 10.34% [n=9], macerated stillbirth 8.04% [n=7], neonatal death 3.44% [n=3], post mature and alive 2.29% [n=2] and congenital malformation 2.29% [n=2]. Emergency lower segment caesarean section was done in 58 [66.7%] cases, while internal podalic version followed by breech extraction was done in 21 [24.1%] cases. Neglected transverse lie is associated with various maternal and foetal complications. Prenatal examinations are essential to reduce the unfortunate complications of transverse lie

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the perinatal and maternal outcome related to retained second twin. This study was carried out in Gynae 'B' Unit, Postgraduate Medical Institute, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from January 2004 to December 2005. Patients presenting to the labour ward after having delivered the first twin at home and with retention of the second twin in-utero with time interval of more than 30 minutes after the delivery of the first twin were included in the study. A total number of 25 patients presented with retained second twin during the above mentioned time period. Malpresentation in 14 patients [56%] and uterine inertia in 7 patients [28%] were found to be the commonest reasons causing retention of second twin, while malpresentation and uterine inertia together was seen in 4 patients [16%]. The perinatal mortality was 76% [n=19/25]. Maternal morbidity like fever was seen in 12 patients [48%] while post partum hemorrhage occurred in six patients [24 N. Blood transfusion was required in 17 patients [68%]. In post partum period breast engorgement requiring treatment with bromocriptine was seen in 5 patients [20 N]. Retained second twin is associated with a hlgh perinatal mortality rate and also causes increased morbidity in mothers. Thus, patients with twin gestation should be referred earlier to a center equipped to handle such a high-risk pregnancy and its associated problems at birth

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To compare vaginal delivery hospital and traditional care systems to identify resources and practices, as well as maternal and neonatal complications related to each system. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between 1989 and 1990, a cross-sectional study was conducted in three hospitals of Merida City and four municipalities of the state of Yucatan. The study sample consisted of 205 women who had a normal vaginal delivery. Delivery procedures were observed and a questionnaire to identify complications was applied 15 days after childbirth. Data analysis consisted in comparison of proportions with the chi-squared test. RESULTS: Maternal and neonatal complications were identified in both systems; however, maternal complications were more frequent in hospital care, whereas neonatal complications were more frequent in traditional delivery care. The total number of complications was similar in the two systems. CONCLUSIONS: No difference was found in the quality of care between the hospital and the traditional systems. Observed complications may be attributable to resources and practices of each system. Additional studies should be conducted to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each system, as well as to improve the quality of maternal and child care.

ABSTRACT

To define accurate management protocols for better outcome in patients of anaemic heart failure during labour. DESIGN: Prospective study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit II of Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from January 2000 - December 2001. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were randomly selected from outdoor and emergency department. Referred patients from other units were also included. Record of patient's age, parity, haemoglobin percentage, severity and sign / symptoms of cardiac failure were noted. 34 patients with anaemic heart failure were included in this study. Most common complication found was pulmonary oedema [29.41%]. It was found that 61.76% [21] patients had haemoglobin percentage between 4 - 5gm% and occurrence of cardiac failure was common with the parity 6 -10 [41.17%] births. Mostly the patients with anaemic heart failure were between 31 - 40 years of age [41.24%].29 [85.3%] out of 34 foetuses were delivered alive. Three patients died due to cardiac arrest and pulmonary oedema so, the maternal mortality was 8.82% in this study. Anaemic heart failure and maternal mortality can be prevented if simple frusimide ferrous sulphate tablets are advised during period, supported with ionotropic drugs like digoxin etc. Active management protocol should be observed for delivering such patients

ABSTRACT

Se presenta una revisión actualizada sobre el tema de los hematomas como complicación en la práctica obstétrica y ginecológica ya que muchos de ellos son consecuencia del traumatismo del parto o de hemostasia deficiente en la operación cesárea. Los hematomas con colecciones de sangre sin sangramiento externo que pueden ser vulvo-perineales, pero también supravaginales con disección del retroperitoneo. Debe sospecharse la existencia de un hematoma siempre que hay compromiso hemodinámico tal como anemia severa, hipotensión o aún shock hipovolémico, sin que haya un sangramiento externo que lo justifique. Se describe, además, la coagulopatía que puede ser causa o consecuencia de esta complicación. se analiza, asimismo, el manejo terapéutico de esta patología relativamente poco frecuente aunque potencialmente grave

ABSTRACT

El objetivo que plantea este trabajo es reducir por medio de la rotación manual (RMC) del polo cefálico, el número de cesáreas causadas tanto por distocias de posición como por falta de encajamiento y evitar el riesgo de la rotación y extracción instrumental. Nuestra casuística está formada por 100 pacientes en las cuales se practicó la (RMC) en el segundo período del parto, en 59 multíparas y 41 primíparas; en 37 casos la posición fue transversa y en 63 oblicua posterior. Las indicaciones fueron dadas mayoritariamente por período expulsivo prolongado, abreviación del expulsivo, agotamiento materno, falta de encajamiento y sufrimiento fetal. El parto fue espontáneo en 57 casos: en 40 terminó por aplicaciones complementarias de fórceps con cabeza encajada en una variedad anterior, en su mayoría por sufrimiento fetal: hubo 3 fracasos, 2 occípito posteriores que no rotaron y hubo que rotarlas con el fórceps a occípito sacra y una cesárea por falta de encajamiento; los resultados fueron favorables en el 97 por ciento

ABSTRACT

Se considera que la práctica de la operación cesárea ha tenido un progresivo y alarmante aumento hasta alcanzar en nuestro país cifras de 62 por ciento o más, de todas las atenciones obstétricas. Situación preocupante a nivel nacional y mundial. Las evidencias documentadas del anterior planteamiento son incuestionables, sin embargo llama la atención el hecho de que no se hayan planteado estrategias puntuales acerca del abordaje del problema. Se analiza en el presente documento la problemática relacionada con el tema, antecedentes y su evolución así como las estrategias integrales para reducir el número de cesáreas, haciendo especial mención de algunos procedimientos específicos como la amnioinfusión, intento de parto por vía vaginal en pacientes con cesárea prevía, uso de postaglandinas y versión por maniobras externas entre otras. Con ellas se ha reducido el porcentaje de cesáreas hasta 10.8 por ciento en el antiguo Hospital Civil de Guadalajara. Curiosamente, la morbimortalidad materna y perinatal no se incrementaron

ABSTRACT

Introducción: las pacientes embarazadas o que recientemente han dado a luz, tienen una incidencia creciente de ingresos a las unidades de cuidados intensivos. Objetivo: revisar el perfil de las pacientes gineco-obstétricas admitidas a una UCI multidisciplinaria. Pacientes y métodos: revisamos los expedientes clínicos de las pacientes gineco-obstétricas que ingresaron a una UCI de un hospital de tercer nivel de atención desde noviembre de 1993 hasta agosto de 1995. Se dividieron en ginecológicas (grupo I) y obstétricas (grupo II). Resultados: de un total de 2,056 adminisiones a la UCI, se identificaron 30 expedientes (1.4 por ciento) correspondientes a pacientes gineco-obstétricas. El promedio de estancia en la UCI fue de 7.2 días (rango 1 - 21 días) y sobrevida de 80 por ciento. Encontramos en el grupo I (12 pacientes) las siguientes enfermedades: sepsis seis, shock hipovolémico dos, tamponade cardiaco uno, embarazo e intoxicación por salicilatos uno, tétanos uno, hemorragia subaracnoidea uno. Conclusión: la sepsis y la preeclampsia-eclampsia son las causas más frecuentes de ingreso a la UCI

ABSTRACT

Cuando se requiere la inducción del parto con una cervix desfavorable, lo tradicional ha sido utilizar la oxitocina endovenosa y más recientemente las prostaglandinas en su forma de gel. El propósito de este informe es comunicar la experiencia de un trabajo prospectivo en un grupo de 48 pacientes con amenorrea entre 36 y 42.5 semanas de gestación con un cérvix desfavorable. La finalidad fue modificar las características cervicales para facilitar la inducción del parto en pacientes que tenían los siguientes diagnósticos: 1. Embarazo prolongado en 32 pacientes. 2. Pre-eclampsia severa en siete. 3. Hipertensión arterial en cinco, y 4. Retardo en el crecimiento intrauterino en cuatro. A todas las pacientes se les evaluó con un índice de Bishop de tres o menos. El procedimiento consistió en la introducción de una sonda de Foley No. 14 o 16 a través del canal cervical, llenado el balón con 30 ml. y aplicación simultánea de oxitocina endovenosa controlado con una bomba de infusión. La maduración del cervix se observó en todas las pacientes, oscilando el tiempo necesario entre 2 y 24 horas. En todos los casos el índice de Bishop fue mayor de cinco después del procedimiento. La vía de nacimiento fue vaginal en 26 pacientes y en 22 por operación cesárea. No se observaron complicaciones infecciosas ni de otra naturaleza en madres ni en los recién nacidos. Se concluye que a pesar de las críticas, este procedimiento ha mostrado ser útil, confiable, para madurar el cervix, al alcance de cualquier Gineco-Obstetra y fácil de realizar
