PPH Flashcards
Avg time taken for 3rd stage of labour
What is the condition called If more then the avg time taken
15-20min (20min)
Prolonged 3rd stage
After delivery of baby where does fundus lies
To what period of gestation does it correspond to
Just below umbilicus
20 weeks
Sequence of 3rd stage of labour
- Gush of blood :placenta separate :venous sinuses bleed
- Suprapubic bulge
- Lengthening of U.Cord (apparent)
- Height of the fundus increases :placenta comes down and pushes fundus up
Name the methods by which placenta separates
- Schultz method
2. Duncans method
Which of the following is true for Schultz method
- Bleeding is apparent only after complete separation of the placenta
- Total loss of blood is more here
- Retroplacental clot or Hematoma is formed here
- It is mc separation that occurs
1,3,4 are true
- Bleeding is apparent only after complete separation of the placenta because here placental separation begins from centre so blood collects behind the placenta
- Total blood loss is less here because blood collects in the centre and forms a retroplacental clot or hematoma b/w the placenta and decidua basalis stopping the bleeding
- 80% of the separation that occurs are by schultz type
Fetal or maternal which side presents at the vulva in 3rd stage of labour in the following methods
- Schultz method
- Duncans methods
- Schultz method - fetal side presents at the vulva (SHINY SIDE )
- Duncans method - maternal side presents at the vulva (DIRTY SIDE )
Explain the Duncans method of placental separation
It begins from periphery
External bleeding begins with separation
Hence Total blood loss is more here because there while be continues bleeding now no retroplacental clot formation occurs
Occurs in 20% only
Most imp part for placental separation is
Uterine
If after placental separation their is retained placenta then what should u do
Give oxytocin
Separation of placenta is along with which part
Spongiosa
Normal blood loss after normal vaginal delivery
500ml
Normal blood loss after C.S
1000ml
Normal blood loss after normal twin vaginal delivery
1000ml
Blood loss in Cesarian hysterectomy
1.5 L/1500ml
Criteria for PPH
PPH blood loss more than normal
- BL >500ml in normal vaginal
- BL>1000ml in C.S
