Q

What are the phases of pregnancy called?

A

Trimesters

25
Q

What is Bimanual compression?

A

Bimanual uterine compression is an intervention performed by a skilled birth attendant, where one hand is placed in the vagina and pushed against the body of the uterus, while the other hand compresses the uterine fundus above through the abdominal wall.

If a PPH occurs after vaginal birth, and is due to uterine atony, bimanual uterine compression can act as a temporizing measure until definitive treatment is available.

26
Q

What causes antepartum haemorrhage?

A

Placenta previa - placenta has implanted at the bottom of the uterus, over the cervix or close by, which means the baby can’t be born vaginally.

Placental abruption - the placenta separates early from the uterus.

27
Q

What could be an outcome for someone with severe preeclampsia (160/110) ?

Name 2.

A

1. Hemorrhagic stroke (artery bleeds into the brain)

2. Placental abruption (placenta separates early from the uterus)

28
Q

What parts of the body can pre-eclampsia effect?

A
  1. Kidneys
  2. Retina
  3. Liver
  4. Brain

A

1. Pre-eclampsia
