Our aim is to detect the risks of multilevel PPH in different cesarean section (CS) groups [including nulliparous CS with indications, nulliparous CS without indications, repeat cesarean (RC), vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), cesarean after vaginal birth (CAVB)]. We conducted a retrospective cohort study, and the data on 127 145 women collected from January 2014 to May 2016 and from 35 tertiary hospitals in Shanxi province, China, were reviewed. Based on the measuring results of PPH, an ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the adjusted PPH risks for each of the CS groups, and comparisons were drawn between them. Finally, a total of 99 066 nulliparous (77.92%) and 28 079 multiparous (22.08%) women were observed. The number of CS cases was 61 117, and the rate for CS was 48.07%. A total of 10 029 women did not show indications for CS and accounted for 16.41% of the CS parturient, whereas 9103 women underwent a repeated cesarean, with a CS frequency of 14.89%. The number of VBAC cases was 989, whose rate was 9.88% in prior CS women. The number (proportions) of PPH was 3658 (2.88%) in L1 (PPH volume: ≥900 and 〈1500 mL), 520 (0.41%) in L2 (PPH volume: ≥1500 and〈2100 mL), and 201 (0.16%) in L3 (PPH volume: ≥2100 mL). The Ln (n= 1, 2, 3, etc.) represented the increasing order of PPH severity. In the adjusted results, compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) as the reference group, in the adjusted result for nulliparous, there was a decreased PPH risk in CS with indications (OR: 2.32; CI: 2.04-2.62), which was lower than that of CS without indications (OR: 2.50; CI: 2.01-2.96). The highest PPH risk in all subgroups (i.e. nulliparous and multiparous groups) was observed in the RC (OR: 3.61; CI: 3.16-4.17), which was nearly twice higher than that of the VBAC (OR: 1.82; CI: 1.33-2.52). CAVB (OR: 1.03; CI: 0.65-1.62) showed no significant difference with the reference group. Thus, we deemed that CS should be avoided in nulliparous pregnancies unless indicated, to prevent or reduce the rates for the use of RC or VBAC which are high risks of severe PPH to the parturient women.展开更多

Previous reports have shown that misoprostol is effective in reducing blood loss during and after CS. However, the optimum time for its administration to decrease the amount of PPH is still under discussion. Objective: To compare the effect of preoperative and postoperative administration of sublingual misoprostol (400 μg) in reducing the amount of blood loss during and 24 hours after CS. Setting: Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt, between January 2017 and July 2018. Study Design: A prospective, randomized clinical trial. Methods: Four-hundred thirty women fulfilling the inclusions criteria: elective lower segment CS at term (≥37 weeks) with normal fetal heart tracing who accepted to participate in the study. Patients were divided into two groups;Patients assigned to group 1 received 400 μg sublingual misoprostol immediately after urinary catheterization and before skin incision, while patients assigned to group 2 received sublingual misoprostol immediately after skin closure. The primary outcome was the estimation of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss for 24 hours. Results: There was a significant reduction in the intraoperative blood loss in group 1 compared with group 2 (403.51 ± 72.99 vs. 460.99 ± 74.66 ml, respectively). Also, there was a significant reduction in postoperative blood loss in group 1 compared with group 2 with a statistical significance (169.45 ± 12.03 vs. 195.77 ± 13.34 ml, respectively). Postoperative hemoglobin and Hematocrit values were significantly higher in group 1 compared with group 2. Conclusions: Preoperative administration of sublingual misoprostol (400 μg) during CS is better than postoperative administration as it is associated with a reduction in the amount of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss and drop in hemoglobin level.展开更多

Methods: A total of 69 patients with placenta previa complicated with postpartum hemorrhage who were treated in the hospital between March 2013 and September 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the research group who accepted gauze combined with water bag packing, the control group A who accepted gauze packing and the control group B who accepted water bag packing. The coagulation function indexes, RAS system indexes and stress response indexes were measured 12 h after delivery. Results:D-D, FDP, REN, AT-II, ALD, NE, E, MDA and ET-1 contents as well as APTT, TT and PT levels of research group 12 hours after delivery were lower than those of control group A and control group B, and D-D, FDP, REN, AT-II, ALD, NE, E, MDA and ET-1 contents as well as APTT, TT and PT levels of control group A were not significantly different from those of control group B. Conclusion: Gauze combined with water bag packing for placenta previa complicated with postpartum hemorrhage can improve the coagulation function and inhibit the excessive activation of RAS system and stress response.展开更多

Study Design: ...Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of conservative compression surgical suture techniques used for the management of pernicious placenta previa to conserve fertility in the subsequent pregnancies. Study Design: This was a non-comparative retrospective study of 188 patients diagnosed with pernicious placenta previa who underwent cesarean section in The First Hospital of Jilin University, China, from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2018. Successful group was defined as those in which the intraoperative bleeding was managed by either modified CHO or by B-lynch suture technique and those who had further intervention including hysterectomy were designated as failure group. Results: Out of 217 patients, 188 met inclusion criteria and 29 patients were excluded. In 188 cases, 183 (97.34%) cases successes and 5 (2.65%) cases had hysterectomy. Among included group, 118 patients (62.76%) had undergone emergency cesarean section and 70 patients (37.23%) underwent elective cesarean section. The emergency group had significantly lesser gestation period of gestation at the time of cesarean section (P = 0.021) and lower neonatal weight (P = 0.001) than that of elective group. The estimated blood loss during surgery was 500 - 3200 ml (mean: 925 ml). Additionally, the amount of bleeding was found to be significantly more in patient with intraoperative complication (P = 0.007) and in patient with implanted placenta (P 0.001). Conclusion: The conservative compression suture technique including modified CHO and B-lynch suture technique during the cesarean delivery is a feasible, safe and effective alternative conservative surgical technique for the management of bleeding in case of pernicious placenta previa. Besides good surgical outcome and proper neonatal result this technique also reduces the rate of hysterectomy, thus conserving the fertility.展开更多

According to the literature, it is mainly related to induced labor, artificial abortion, cesarean section, high aging pregnancy, multipara or smoking. The placenta previa is the chief cause of bleeding in late pregnancy and threatens the lives of mother and infant, resulting in a high risk problem in obstetrics. This article studies 322 cases of placenta previa from my hospital and Dalian Obstetrics and Gynecological Hospital from January, 2002 to July, 2009, on the basis of clinicretrospective analysis, in order to deepen our understanding and art of treating placenta previa. The study revealed that: 1. With 322 cases of placenta previa, the incidence was 0.73%. It was higher than the incidence 0.3% reported abroad and lower than the incidence 0.94% reported in our country. The data were from sampling survey and did not prove relations between placenta previa and ages, different from the result obtained abroad in which placenta previa had relation with pregnancy ages. The outcome needs further study. But artificial abortion, induced labor, cesarean section and multipara clearly influence the incidence. The study did not analyze the relation between smoking and placenta previa, but there was external data proving that smoking was related to placenta previa; 2. Ultrasound-B is a better method for examination at present; 3. In cases of vaginal childbirth there was a higher incidence of lateral placenta previa and partial placenta previa. The conservative temporization and timely cesarean section can greatly decrease the mortality of mother and infant.展开更多

Methods: This was a retrospective study of women under cesarean delivery with PAS or placenta previa. Patients’ information was acquired from hospital records. A novel procedure of surgery is developed with seven major steps, including avoiding placenta incised, elevating upward the uterine, clamping the uterine arteries with sponge forceps, removing the placenta, opening the vesicouterine space and suture techniques. Results: A total of 38 patients were reviewed. Twenty-one patients diagnosed with placenta accrete syndrome and 3 patients with CSP were underwent surgery with the novel procedure of surgery and all severe hemorrhage was controlled without hysterectomy. There were 2 women with bladder injuries needing primary repair. Fourteen patients with placenta previa underwent cesarean delivery and there was no intraoperative complication of the total 14 patients. Conclusion: The seven-step approach is more secure and effective to control severe hemorrhage without other invasive procedures in cesarean delivery with PAS. It is technically easier to maintain and improve surgical skills.展开更多

Objective: This study aimed to present a single centre’s experience in treating PPH by balloon tamponade. Methods: During the time period between January 2013 and March 2016, 50 patients who had undergone balloon tamponade for postpartum hemorrhage in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. The patients’ age, parity, type of delivery, birth weight, hemoglobin and platelet values, total blood loss from catheter, balloon’s staying time, blood and platelet transfusion status, the presence of placenta anomalies and the Bakri balloon hemostasis success rate were evaluated. Results: During the study period, there were 27,249 deliveries. The frequency of massive postpartum hemorrhage was 0.61% (n = 168). Among the 168 patients with massive postpartum hemorrhage, there were 50 patients in whom the Bakri balloon catheter was used. Bakri balloons were placed via cesarean section incision in 19 patients and via vagina in 31 patients. The mean staying time of Bakri balloon was 18 hours. In 8 patients, balloon tamponade failed. Two patients underwent hysterectomy;other two patients had surgical ligation of the hypogastric artery. Four cases were referred to a tertiary center. Placental invasion abnormalities were observed in five patients. The overall Bakri balloon hemostasis successful rate was found to be as 84% in all cases. Conclusion: Bakri balloon tamponade is an effective, safe and practical approach in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.展开更多

In this study, placenta previa was defined as a placenta lying within 20 mm of the internal cervical os or overlapping it. We recruited 183 women diagnosed with previa between 20+0 weeks and 25+6 weeks. They were grouped according to their placenta location(anterior or posterior) and history of cesarean section. Comparative analysis was performed on demographic data, resolution rate of previa and pregnancy outcomes between anterior group and posterior group, and on those between cesarean section group and non-cesarean section group. Women with an anterior placenta tended to be advanced in parity(P=0.040) and have increased number of dilatation and curettage(P=0.044). The women in cesarean section group were significantly older(P=0.000) and had more parity(P=0.000), gravidity(P=0.000), and dilatation and curettage(P=0.048) than in non-cesarean section group. Resolution of previa at delivery occurred in 87.43% women in this study. Women with a posterior placenta had a higher rate of resolution(P=0.030), while history of cesarean section made no difference. Gestational age at resolution was earlier in posterior group(P=0.002) and non-cesarean section group(P=0.008) than in anterior group and cesarean section group correspondingly. Placenta location and prior cesarean section did not influence obstetric outcomes and neonatal outcomes. This study indicates that it is more likely to have subsequent resolution of the previa when the placenta is posteriorly located for women who are diagnosed with placenta previa in the second trimester.展开更多

Our work is summarized in a prospective comparative study, aimed at evaluating the existence or not of a difference between the administration of oxytocin just before the hysterotomy in a cesarean section and its administration after fetal extraction. We used a set of criteria to include patients in our study. This study took place over a period of one year (2020) in the Mother and Child regional center, in Meknes Imperial city, Morocco, involving a total number of 364 patients. With a group A comprising 176 patients 48% (176/364) who received oxytocin just before the hysterotomy and a group B of 188 patients 52% (188/364) who received it classically after fetal extraction. The difference was very significant as detailed in the article. Conclusion: the very convincing results of our study and the difference between the two groups, allowed us to demonstrate the effectiveness of our process and to endorse its use in our routine practice, with the perspective of conducting a prospective randomized study on a larger series.展开更多

But what challenged us to conduct our study is the large and increasing number of surgical operations for postpartum hemorrhage in patients who received oxytocin during labor. We assumed that the generalization use of oxytocin in all patients during labor is probably responsible of this increasing rate of incidents. To verify this assumption, we carried out a prospective randomized comparative study, involving 3990 pregnant patients admitted at the start of labor at term, with no contraindication for giving birth by normal ways, during a period of 10 months (January-October 2022). The patients have been divided into 2 groups. The first group comprises 1991 patients who were placed on admission on a glucose serum infusion with 4 ampoules of a non-anticholinergic musculotropic antispasmodic: “Hydrated phloroglucinol + trimethylphloroglucinol” (Each ampoule contains 40 mg of hydrated phloroglucinol and 0.04 mg of trimethylphloroglucinol) instead of receiving oxytocin during the active phase of their labor and a second group consisting of 1999 patients who received oxytocin during the active phase of their labor. The results were very surprising and contrary to the already consolidated evidence in our specialty. Indeed, the rate of postpartum hemorrhages was 10 patients (0.5%) in the 1st group vs 30 patients (1.5%) in the 2nd group, 9 patients (0.4%) presented fetal heart rate abnormalities in the 1st group vs 90 (4.5%) in the 2nd group, 8 cases (0.4%) of dynamic dystocia in the 1st group vs 132 cases (6.6%) in the 2nd group and 99 caesareans (5%) in the 1st group vs 299 (15%) in the 2nd group. Against all expectations the results were very surprising, with more details in the article.展开更多

文摘Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the most adverse obstetric outcomes. Our aim is to detect the risks of multilevel PPH in different cesarean section (CS) groups [including nulliparous CS with indications, nulliparous CS without indications, repeat cesarean (RC), vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), cesarean after vaginal birth (CAVB)]. We conducted a retrospective cohort study, and the data on 127 145 women collected from January 2014 to May 2016 and from 35 tertiary hospitals in Shanxi province, China, were reviewed. Based on the measuring results of PPH, an ordered logistic regression model was used to analyze the adjusted PPH risks for each of the CS groups, and comparisons were drawn between them. Finally, a total of 99 066 nulliparous (77.92%) and 28 079 multiparous (22.08%) women were observed. The number of CS cases was 61 117, and the rate for CS was 48.07%. A total of 10 029 women did not show indications for CS and accounted for 16.41% of the CS parturient, whereas 9103 women underwent a repeated cesarean, with a CS frequency of 14.89%. The number of VBAC cases was 989, whose rate was 9.88% in prior CS women. The number (proportions) of PPH was 3658 (2.88%) in L1 (PPH volume: ≥900 and 〈1500 mL), 520 (0.41%) in L2 (PPH volume: ≥1500 and〈2100 mL), and 201 (0.16%) in L3 (PPH volume: ≥2100 mL). The Ln (n= 1, 2, 3, etc.) represented the increasing order of PPH severity. In the adjusted results, compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD) as the reference group, in the adjusted result for nulliparous, there was a decreased PPH risk in CS with indications (OR: 2.32; CI: 2.04-2.62), which was lower than that of CS without indications (OR: 2.50; CI: 2.01-2.96). The highest PPH risk in all subgroups (i.e. nulliparous and multiparous groups) was observed in the RC (OR: 3.61; CI: 3.16-4.17), which was nearly twice higher than that of the VBAC (OR: 1.82; CI: 1.33-2.52). CAVB (OR: 1.03; CI: 0.65-1.62) showed no significant difference with the reference group. Thus, we deemed that CS should be avoided in nulliparous pregnancies unless indicated, to prevent or reduce the rates for the use of RC or VBAC which are high risks of severe PPH to the parturient women.
文摘Background: Blood loss is one of the important complications during cesarean section (CS). Previous reports have shown that misoprostol is effective in reducing blood loss during and after CS. However, the optimum time for its administration to decrease the amount of PPH is still under discussion. Objective: To compare the effect of preoperative and postoperative administration of sublingual misoprostol (400 μg) in reducing the amount of blood loss during and 24 hours after CS. Setting: Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt, between January 2017 and July 2018. Study Design: A prospective, randomized clinical trial. Methods: Four-hundred thirty women fulfilling the inclusions criteria: elective lower segment CS at term (≥37 weeks) with normal fetal heart tracing who accepted to participate in the study. Patients were divided into two groups;Patients assigned to group 1 received 400 μg sublingual misoprostol immediately after urinary catheterization and before skin incision, while patients assigned to group 2 received sublingual misoprostol immediately after skin closure. The primary outcome was the estimation of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss for 24 hours. Results: There was a significant reduction in the intraoperative blood loss in group 1 compared with group 2 (403.51 ± 72.99 vs. 460.99 ± 74.66 ml, respectively). Also, there was a significant reduction in postoperative blood loss in group 1 compared with group 2 with a statistical significance (169.45 ± 12.03 vs. 195.77 ± 13.34 ml, respectively). Postoperative hemoglobin and Hematocrit values were significantly higher in group 1 compared with group 2. Conclusions: Preoperative administration of sublingual misoprostol (400 μg) during CS is better than postoperative administration as it is associated with a reduction in the amount of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss and drop in hemoglobin level.
文摘Objective:To study the effect of predictive nursing intervention on patients with postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section.Methods:84 delivery women who had been hospitalized for cesarean section from July 2016 to July 2017 were recruited.They were divided into experimental and reference groups by random number table method.Each group had 42 cases.Among them,the reference group adopted the routine nursing mode.On this basis,the experimental group adopted the predictive nursing intervention mode.The amount of postpartum hemorrhage and the causes of bleeding in two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:The volume of postpartum hemorrhage in two hours and 24 hours after operation in the experimental group were lesser compared to reference group.Compared with the reference group,the proportion of postpartum hemorrhage causes,such as incision bleeding,uterine atony bleeding,placental bleeding and vascular rupture bleeding was lower in the experimental group.Besides,the delivery women and family members in the experimental group had higher total satisfaction compared to reference group.The difference between two groups was significance(p<0.05).Conclusion:The results showed that predictive nursing intervention model plays an important role in the nursing of postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section and should be popularized and applied in clinical practice.
文摘Objective: To study the effect of gauze combined with water bag packing on the coagulation function, RAS system and stress response of patients with placenta previa complicated with postpartum hemorrhage. Methods: A total of 69 patients with placenta previa complicated with postpartum hemorrhage who were treated in the hospital between March 2013 and September 2016 were selected and randomly divided into the research group who accepted gauze combined with water bag packing, the control group A who accepted gauze packing and the control group B who accepted water bag packing. The coagulation function indexes, RAS system indexes and stress response indexes were measured 12 h after delivery. Results:D-D, FDP, REN, AT-II, ALD, NE, E, MDA and ET-1 contents as well as APTT, TT and PT levels of research group 12 hours after delivery were lower than those of control group A and control group B, and D-D, FDP, REN, AT-II, ALD, NE, E, MDA and ET-1 contents as well as APTT, TT and PT levels of control group A were not significantly different from those of control group B. Conclusion: Gauze combined with water bag packing for placenta previa complicated with postpartum hemorrhage can improve the coagulation function and inhibit the excessive activation of RAS system and stress response.
文摘Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of conservative compression surgical suture techniques used for the management of pernicious placenta previa to conserve fertility in the subsequent pregnancies. Study Design: This was a non-comparative retrospective study of 188 patients diagnosed with pernicious placenta previa who underwent cesarean section in The First Hospital of Jilin University, China, from 1 January 2013 to 1 January 2018. Successful group was defined as those in which the intraoperative bleeding was managed by either modified CHO or by B-lynch suture technique and those who had further intervention including hysterectomy were designated as failure group. Results: Out of 217 patients, 188 met inclusion criteria and 29 patients were excluded. In 188 cases, 183 (97.34%) cases successes and 5 (2.65%) cases had hysterectomy. Among included group, 118 patients (62.76%) had undergone emergency cesarean section and 70 patients (37.23%) underwent elective cesarean section. The emergency group had significantly lesser gestation period of gestation at the time of cesarean section (P = 0.021) and lower neonatal weight (P = 0.001) than that of elective group. The estimated blood loss during surgery was 500 - 3200 ml (mean: 925 ml). Additionally, the amount of bleeding was found to be significantly more in patient with intraoperative complication (P = 0.007) and in patient with implanted placenta (P 0.001). Conclusion: The conservative compression suture technique including modified CHO and B-lynch suture technique during the cesarean delivery is a feasible, safe and effective alternative conservative surgical technique for the management of bleeding in case of pernicious placenta previa. Besides good surgical outcome and proper neonatal result this technique also reduces the rate of hysterectomy, thus conserving the fertility.
文摘In recent years, the incidence of placenta previa has been increasing. According to the literature, it is mainly related to induced labor, artificial abortion, cesarean section, high aging pregnancy, multipara or smoking. The placenta previa is the chief cause of bleeding in late pregnancy and threatens the lives of mother and infant, resulting in a high risk problem in obstetrics. This article studies 322 cases of placenta previa from my hospital and Dalian Obstetrics and Gynecological Hospital from January, 2002 to July, 2009, on the basis of clinicretrospective analysis, in order to deepen our understanding and art of treating placenta previa. The study revealed that: 1. With 322 cases of placenta previa, the incidence was 0.73%. It was higher than the incidence 0.3% reported abroad and lower than the incidence 0.94% reported in our country. The data were from sampling survey and did not prove relations between placenta previa and ages, different from the result obtained abroad in which placenta previa had relation with pregnancy ages. The outcome needs further study. But artificial abortion, induced labor, cesarean section and multipara clearly influence the incidence. The study did not analyze the relation between smoking and placenta previa, but there was external data proving that smoking was related to placenta previa; 2. Ultrasound-B is a better method for examination at present; 3. In cases of vaginal childbirth there was a higher incidence of lateral placenta previa and partial placenta previa. The conservative temporization and timely cesarean section can greatly decrease the mortality of mother and infant.
文摘Objectives: To describe a novel procedure to treat hemorrhage of placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) or cesarean-scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods: This was a retrospective study of women under cesarean delivery with PAS or placenta previa. Patients’ information was acquired from hospital records. A novel procedure of surgery is developed with seven major steps, including avoiding placenta incised, elevating upward the uterine, clamping the uterine arteries with sponge forceps, removing the placenta, opening the vesicouterine space and suture techniques. Results: A total of 38 patients were reviewed. Twenty-one patients diagnosed with placenta accrete syndrome and 3 patients with CSP were underwent surgery with the novel procedure of surgery and all severe hemorrhage was controlled without hysterectomy. There were 2 women with bladder injuries needing primary repair. Fourteen patients with placenta previa underwent cesarean delivery and there was no intraoperative complication of the total 14 patients. Conclusion: The seven-step approach is more secure and effective to control severe hemorrhage without other invasive procedures in cesarean delivery with PAS. It is technically easier to maintain and improve surgical skills.
文摘Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal death in the world and it is reported to occur in 5% - 8% of pregnancies. Objective: This study aimed to present a single centre’s experience in treating PPH by balloon tamponade. Methods: During the time period between January 2013 and March 2016, 50 patients who had undergone balloon tamponade for postpartum hemorrhage in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively. The patients’ age, parity, type of delivery, birth weight, hemoglobin and platelet values, total blood loss from catheter, balloon’s staying time, blood and platelet transfusion status, the presence of placenta anomalies and the Bakri balloon hemostasis success rate were evaluated. Results: During the study period, there were 27,249 deliveries. The frequency of massive postpartum hemorrhage was 0.61% (n = 168). Among the 168 patients with massive postpartum hemorrhage, there were 50 patients in whom the Bakri balloon catheter was used. Bakri balloons were placed via cesarean section incision in 19 patients and via vagina in 31 patients. The mean staying time of Bakri balloon was 18 hours. In 8 patients, balloon tamponade failed. Two patients underwent hysterectomy;other two patients had surgical ligation of the hypogastric artery. Four cases were referred to a tertiary center. Placental invasion abnormalities were observed in five patients. The overall Bakri balloon hemostasis successful rate was found to be as 84% in all cases. Conclusion: Bakri balloon tamponade is an effective, safe and practical approach in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.

文摘This prospective study was conducted to assess the rate of resolution of second trimester placenta previa in women with anterior placenta and posterior placenta, and that in women with and without previous cesarean section. In this study, placenta previa was defined as a placenta lying within 20 mm of the internal cervical os or overlapping it. We recruited 183 women diagnosed with previa between 20+0 weeks and 25+6 weeks. They were grouped according to their placenta location(anterior or posterior) and history of cesarean section. Comparative analysis was performed on demographic data, resolution rate of previa and pregnancy outcomes between anterior group and posterior group, and on those between cesarean section group and non-cesarean section group. Women with an anterior placenta tended to be advanced in parity(P=0.040) and have increased number of dilatation and curettage(P=0.044). The women in cesarean section group were significantly older(P=0.000) and had more parity(P=0.000), gravidity(P=0.000), and dilatation and curettage(P=0.048) than in non-cesarean section group. Resolution of previa at delivery occurred in 87.43% women in this study. Women with a posterior placenta had a higher rate of resolution(P=0.030), while history of cesarean section made no difference. Gestational age at resolution was earlier in posterior group(P=0.002) and non-cesarean section group(P=0.008) than in anterior group and cesarean section group correspondingly. Placenta location and prior cesarean section did not influence obstetric outcomes and neonatal outcomes. This study indicates that it is more likely to have subsequent resolution of the previa when the placenta is posteriorly located for women who are diagnosed with placenta previa in the second trimester.

文摘BACKGROUND The traditional definition of late postpartum hemorrhage is a massive uterine hemorrhage from 24 h after delivery to the puerperal period.Here,we report a case of late postpartum hemorrhage that occurred 3 mo after cesarean section and endangered the patient's life.The cause of the case we are reporting was poor incision healing.By reporting this case,we hope to make doctors aware that late postpartum hemorrhage due to poor incision healing may happen as late as 3 mo after cesarean section.CASE SUMMARY A 31-year-old woman complained of acute,severe vaginal bleeding for 1 h;the patient had a history of cesarean section 3 mo prior.After receiving antiinflammatory treatment,fluid supplementation,blood transfusion,oxytocin administration,and hemostatic treatment,the vaginal bleeding ceased,and the patient’s clinical status improved.Unfortunately,she experienced recurrent massive vaginal bleeding,and uterine contractile agents did not decrease the persistent bleeding.To save the patient’s life,she was admitted for emergency laparotomy.At exploratory laparotomy,dehiscence and necrosis of the previous cesarean section scar were noted;the dehiscence penetrated through the entire thickness of the uterine muscle wall and extended to the left uterine artery.Ultimately,we performed a total hysterectomy.CONCLUSION Late postpartum hemorrhage due to poor incision healing after cesarean section may occur in the 3 mo after cesarean section or even later.Therefore,obstetricians-gynecologists should monitor for this potential complication in all patients post–cesarean section.Such hemorrhages can be severe enough to endanger the patient's life.
文摘In our medical practice, in particular obstetrics, it is difficult to change certain consolidated dogmas, but the necessity and the current situation of our obstetrical exercise pushed us to find new technical supports, to make the exercise of our specialty as stripped of pitfalls as possible. Our work is summarized in a prospective comparative study, aimed at evaluating the existence or not of a difference between the administration of oxytocin just before the hysterotomy in a cesarean section and its administration after fetal extraction. We used a set of criteria to include patients in our study. This study took place over a period of one year (2020) in the Mother and Child regional center, in Meknes Imperial city, Morocco, involving a total number of 364 patients. With a group A comprising 176 patients 48% (176/364) who received oxytocin just before the hysterotomy and a group B of 188 patients 52% (188/364) who received it classically after fetal extraction. The difference was very significant as detailed in the article. Conclusion: the very convincing results of our study and the difference between the two groups, allowed us to demonstrate the effectiveness of our process and to endorse its use in our routine practice, with the perspective of conducting a prospective randomized study on a larger series.
文摘Among the most consolidated dogmas in obstetrics, we have the essential role of oxytocin during: labor by regulating, consolidating uterine contractions, by supporting the expulsive efforts of the patient during childbirth and after childbirth by preventing postpartum hemorrhage. But what challenged us to conduct our study is the large and increasing number of surgical operations for postpartum hemorrhage in patients who received oxytocin during labor. We assumed that the generalization use of oxytocin in all patients during labor is probably responsible of this increasing rate of incidents. To verify this assumption, we carried out a prospective randomized comparative study, involving 3990 pregnant patients admitted at the start of labor at term, with no contraindication for giving birth by normal ways, during a period of 10 months (January-October 2022). The patients have been divided into 2 groups. The first group comprises 1991 patients who were placed on admission on a glucose serum infusion with 4 ampoules of a non-anticholinergic musculotropic antispasmodic: “Hydrated phloroglucinol + trimethylphloroglucinol” (Each ampoule contains 40 mg of hydrated phloroglucinol and 0.04 mg of trimethylphloroglucinol) instead of receiving oxytocin during the active phase of their labor and a second group consisting of 1999 patients who received oxytocin during the active phase of their labor. The results were very surprising and contrary to the already consolidated evidence in our specialty. Indeed, the rate of postpartum hemorrhages was 10 patients (0.5%) in the 1st group vs 30 patients (1.5%) in the 2nd group, 9 patients (0.4%) presented fetal heart rate abnormalities in the 1st group vs 90 (4.5%) in the 2nd group, 8 cases (0.4%) of dynamic dystocia in the 1st group vs 132 cases (6.6%) in the 2nd group and 99 caesareans (5%) in the 1st group vs 299 (15%) in the 2nd group. Against all expectations the results were very surprising, with more details in the article.

文摘Background:Cell salvage has recently been recommended for obstetric use in cases with a high risk of massive hemorrhage during cesarean section(CS).However,limited data are available to support the use of one suction device to collect lost blood.This study aimed to investigate the volume of red blood cells(RBCs)salvaged and the components of amniotic fluid(AF)in blood salvaged by one suction device or two devices during CS in patients with placenta previa and/or accrete.Methods:Thirty patients with placenta previa and/or accrete undergoing elective CS in the Women's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were recruited for the present study from November 1,2017 to December 1,2018.The patients were randomly assigned to one of the two groups according to an Excel-generated random number sheet:Group 1(w=15),in which only one suction device was used to aspirate all blood and AF,and Group 2(w=15),in which a second suction device was mainly used to aspirate AF before the delivery of the placenta.Three samples of blood per patient(pre-wash,post-wash,and post-filtration)were collected to measure AF components.The salvaged RBC volumes were recorded.Continuous data of pre-wash,post-wash,and postfiltration samples were analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey5s test for multiple comparisons,or Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn test for multiple comparisons.Comparisons of continuous data between Group 1 and Group 2 were conducted using Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test.Results:The salvaged RBC volume was significantly higher in Group 1 than that in Group 2(401.6±77.2 mL vs.330.1土53.3 mL,?=4.175,P<0.001).In both groups,squamous cells,lamellar bodies,and fat were significantly reduced by washing(all P<0.001)and squamous cells were further reduced by filtering(P<0.001).Squamous cells were found in six post-filtration samples(three from each group).Lamellar bodies and fat were completely removed by filtering.Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1,alphafetoprotein,albumin,lactate dehydrogenase,and potassium were significantly reduced post-wash(all P<0.05),with no further significant reduction after filtration in either group(all P>0.05).The mean percentage of fetal RBCs post-filtration was(1.8±0.8)%with a range of 1.0%to 3.5%and(1.9±0.9)%with a range of 0.7%to 4.0%in Groups 1 and 2,respectively,showing no significant difference between the two groups(U=188.5,P=0.651).Conclusion:Cell salvage performed by one suction device could result in higher volume of salvaged RBCs and can be used safely for CS in patients with placenta previa and/or accrete when massive hemorrhage occurs.Trial registration number:ChiCTR-INR-17012926,http://www.chictr.org.cn/Chinese Clinical Trial Registry.
文摘Objective:To investigate the risk factors of severe postpartum hemorrhage(PPH)in cesarean section of twin pregnancy,and to provide clinical basis for pregnancy management and perioperative obstetric management of twin pregnancy.Methods:The clinical data of 631 twin pregnancies with gestational age28 weeks delivered by cesarean section at Peking University People's Hospital(PKUPH)from January 2004 to January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.Methods of conception,the combined weight of twins,serum albumin level before cesarean section,operation time and other factors on the amount of blood loss during cesarean section were analyzed.Results:The proportion of severe PPH was significantly higher in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET)group,the combined weight of twins>6000g group,serum albumin before cesarean section<30 g/dl group than in the natural pregnancy group,4000–6000g group,<4000g group and serum albumin30 g/dl group respectively(P<0.05).The proportion of severe PPH in the elective surgery group of twin pregnancy was higher than that in the emergency surgery group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Moreover,according to the surgical indications,the emergency surgery group was divided into premature rupture of membranes(PROM),labor,fetal distress and others groups,no significant difference were detected among these groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:IVF-ET,the combined weight of twins,serum albumin before operation were significantly correlated with severe PPH of twin pregnancies delivered by cesarean section,revealing that it is necessary to strengthen pregnancy management of twin pregnancy.
