Complications of 3rd Stage Flashcards
Def of Retained Placenta
Failure of delivery of placenta èin 30 minutes after delivery of fetus.
Types of Retained Placenta
- Retained separated placenta
- Retained non separated placenta
Etiology of Retained Separated Placenta
1) Uterine atony.
2) Constriction ring.
3) Rupture uterus.
Etiology of Retained non-separated Placenta
1) Uterine atony.
2) Abnormally adherent placenta
3) Abnormal shape of placenta: Placenta membranacea & succenturiate placent
Etiuology & RF for Abnormally adherent placenta
Types of Abnormally adherent placenta
Complications of Retained Placenta
TTT of Uterine atony
Give ergometrine & do gentile uterine massage (to stimulate uterine contraction) then try to deliver placenta by 1 of the following:
a. Brandt-Andrew’s maneuver
b. Crede’s method:
c. Manual removal
TTT of Uterine atony
- Crede’s Method (Complications)
TTT of Uterine atony
- Manual removal of placenta (Technique)
TTT of Uterine atony
- Manual removal of placenta (Complications)
- Perforation of uterus.
- Retained parts of placenta or membranes.
- Infection.
Dx of adherent placenta
TTT of Adherent placenta
TTT of Adherent placenta
- Ordinary (simple) adherence & partial placenta accreta
- Remove as much as possible from placenta & insert uterine pack
- if bleeding continues → bilateral uterine artery ligation, bilateral internal iliac artery ligation or hysterectomy.
TTT of Adherent placenta
- Complete placenta accreta, placenta increta or placenta percreta
Etiology of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- Spontaneous inversion
- Induced (iatrogenic) inversion
Etiology of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- Spontaneous
Etiology of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- Induced (iatrogenic) inversion
TTT of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
TTT of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- 1st Aid
TTT of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- O’Sullivan’s hydrostatic pressure method
TTT of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- Ogueh & Ayida
TTT of Puerperal Inversion of Uterus
- Manual reposition of uterus
Def of PPH
Abnormal or excessive bleeding from genital tract after delivery of fetus till end of puerperium (6 weeks after delivery).
Def of 1ry PPH
- Excessive bleeding from genital tract during 3rd stage of labor or èin first 24 hours after delivery.
- > 500 ml after vaginal delivery or > 1000 ml after CS or blood loss that affects general condition of patient.
- Average normal blood loss = 300 ml.
Etiology of 1ry PPH
- Atonic
- Multiparity.
- Over distention of uterus
- PH.
- Uterine fibroids.
- Uterine relaxants (tocolytics).
- Halogenated anesthesia.
- Chorioamnionitis.
- Severe anemia.
- Full bladder or rectum.
- Prolonged labor or precipitate labor.
- Retained placenta, placental fragments, pieces of membranes or blood clots.
- Idiopathic.
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry Atonic PPH
- Bleeding after delivery of placenta (true 1ry PPH)
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Ecbolics
a- Oxytocin drip: 20 units in 500 ml normal saline.
b- Ergometrine (Methergin): 0.25-0.50 mg IV or IM.
c- PGs: rectal or IM or intra-myometrial in CS.
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Inspection of placenta & membranes
Any missed part → removed manually under anesthesia.
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- uterine Massage
….
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Exploration of uterine cavity & birth canal under anesthesia.
…
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Bimanual compression of uterus
▪ Under general anesthesia → uterus is firmly compressed for 5-30 minutes () closed fist of Rt hand
in anterior vaginal fornix & Lt hand abdominally behind body of uterus.
▪ Compression is maintained till uterus is firmly contracted (during this period, Ecbolics & blood
transfusion are given).
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Balloon tamponade (tamponade test):
Hydrostatic balloon catheter is inserted in uterus& filled è 200-500 ml warm saline to control Hge
Types of Uterine compression sutures
- B-Lynch suture.
- Modified B-Lynch suture.
- Vertical compression sutures.
- Square compression sutures.
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Surgical treatment
a- Bilateral uterine artery ligation
b- Bilateral internal iliac artery ligation.
c- Bilateral ovarian artery ligation.
d- Uterine compression sutures
e- Supra-vaginal hysterectomy: if other measures failed.
Managment of 1ry PPH
- After care of PPH
Arrest of Bleeding in 1ry True PPH
- Other less commonly used methods to arrest bleeding
Def of 2ry PPH
Abnormal or excessive bleeding from genital tract () 24 hours & 6 weeks after delivery.
Etiology of 2ry PPH
