OBSTETRICAL HEMORRHAGE

Obstetrics is "bloody business." hemorrhage still remains a leading

cause of maternal mortality. 12 %of maternal deaths were

caused by obstetrical hemorrhage. hemorrhage is the single most

important cause of maternal death worldwide.

Obstetrical hemorrhage accounts for almost half of all postpartum deaths in developing countries

4

most maternal deaths from

hemorrhage is associated with

substandard care.

many hemorrhage-related maternal

deaths were preventable and were

associated with inadequate facilities

ANTEPARTUM HEMORRHAGE

Placental

Abruption

Placenta Previa

12

Causes of Obstetrical Hemorrhage

Placental Abruption:

Placental separation from its

implantation site before delivery

variously called placental abruption,

abruptio placentae, accidental

hemorrhage , abruptioplacentae

13

COMPLICATIONS Shock Consumptive Coagulopathy Renal Failure Sheehan Syndrome

14

Shockshock sometimes seen with placental abruption

was disproportionate to the amount of hemorrhage.

because placental thromboplastin enters the

maternal circulation and incites intravascular

coagulation

hypovolemic shock is directly due to maternal

blood loss.

15

Consumptive Coagulopathy

Placental abruption is one of the most common causes of

clinically significant consumptive coagulopathy in

obstetrics.

In approximately a third of women with an abruption severe

enough to kill the fetus

there are measurable changes in coagulation factors.

16

Renal Failureit is more common if treatment of hypovolemia is

delayed or incomplete.

most cases of acute kidney injury are reversible, however,

acute cortical necrosis, when it occurs, is usually caused by

placental abruption.

Seriously impaired renal perfusion is the consequence of

massive hemorrhage.

Because preeclampsia frequently coexists with placental

abruption, renal vasospasm and hypoperfusion are likely

intensified.

17

Sheehan SyndromeSevere intrapartum or early postpartum

hemorrhage rarely is followed by pituitary failure

or Sheehan syndrome.

characterized by :

failure of lactation,

amenorrhea,

breast atrophy,

loss of pubic and axillary hair,

hypothyroidism,

adrenal cortical insufficiency.

exact pathogenesis is not understood,

18

DIAGNOSIS

sonography confirmes clinical diagnosis in only 25 % of women

negative findings with sonographic examination do not exclude placental abruption

19

MANAGEMENT with massive external bleeding, intensive

resuscitation with blood plus crystalloid and prompt delivery to control hemorrhage are lifesaving for mother and hopefully, for fetus.

If the diagnosis is uncertain and the fetus is alive but without evidence of compromise, then close observation can be practiced in facilities capable of immediate intervention.

for the welfare of the distressed fetus, steps should be initiated immediately to correct maternal hypovolemia, anemia, and hypoxia to restore and maintain function of any placenta that is still implanted.

20

PLACENTA PREVIA Placenta previa is used to

describe a placenta that is

implanted over or very near the

internal cervical os.

21

Kinds:• Total placenta previa — internal os is

covered completely by placenta • Partial placenta previa —internal os is

partially covered by placenta • Marginal placenta previa —edge of the

placenta is at the margin of internal os • Low-lying placenta —placenta is implanted

in lower uterine segment such that the placental edge does not reach the internal os, but is in close proximity to it

22

CLINICAL FINDINGS The most characteristic event is painless

hemorrhage usually appear near the end of the

second trimester and without warning bleeding maybe appear in the onset of

labor. it may vary from slight to profuse clinically may mimic placental abruption. Hemorrhage from the implantation site in

the lower uterine segment may continue after placental delivery because the lower uterine segment contracts poorly.

23

DIAGNOSIS The simplest, safest, and most accurate

method of placental localization is provided by transabdominal sonography. (average accuracy is 96 %(

False-positive results are often a result of bladder distension , placenta is large and extended downward all the way to the internal cervical os.

transvaginal sonography Magnetic Resonance (MR( Imaging

(useful for diagnosis of placenta accreta (

24

MANAGEMENT

Cesarean delivery is necessary in practically all women with placenta previa

if fetus is reasonably mature :c/s The fetus is preterm and there

are no other indications for delivery :close observation

POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE

26

The single most significant cause of

maternal death worldwide

One of the top three causes of maternal

mortality in all of countries

Serious morbidity may follow PPH:

ARDS,

coagulopathy,

shock,

loss of fertility,

sheehan syn.

27

Incidence 

 The incidence varies widely:

1-5% of deliveries

28

DefinitionThere is no single, satisfactory definition of PPH.

PPH is excessive bleeding that makes the patient

symptomatic

Most common definition: Excess blood loss

(>500ml in NVD or >1000ml in C/S(

Decline in Hct of 10%(not a clinically useful

definition(

29

Types of PPH

Primary PPH(early(: in the first 24

hours, 4-6% of pregnancies

Secondary PPH(late(: between 24h

to 6-12 weeks,(0.5-2% of

pregnancies(

30

Atony  The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony

Complicates 1 in 20 births

Responsible for at least 80 % of cases of PPH

31

only a small proportion of women

with any risk factors for PPH develop

the disorder and many women

without risk factors experience

hemorrhage after delivery; thus,

knowledge of risk factors is not

very useful clinically

and delivery units

34

DIAGNOSIS

The differentiation between bleeding from uterine atony and genital tract lacerations is tentatively determined by predisposing risk factors and the condition of uterus.

If bleeding persists despite a firm, well-contracted uterus, the cause of the hemorrhage most likely is from lacerations

Bright red blood also suggests arterial blood from lacerations.

careful inspection of the vagina, cervix, and uterus is essential.

35

Management management of PPH is multifaceted and

can involve many teams (obstetricians,

nurses, anesthesiologists, blood bank

personnel, laboratory medicine, surgical

subspecialists, interventional radiology(.

These teams are often required to work

together under great stress and time

pressures

Coordination is essential and can be

facilitated by protocols and flow diagrams

that anticipate how these teams will

communicate and function together.

55

whole blood transfusion is standard .

Packed red blood cells (PRBC) have a

volume of 200 to 250 mL and a hematocrit of 70%.

normal saline+ PRBCs are the component of choice for hemorrhagic shock.

56

oxygen-carrying capacity is met in most healthy patients with a hemoglobin of 7 g/dL, then transfusion for moderate anemia (8 to 10 mg/dL) is no recommended. but, correction of anemia is important .

In critically ill patients and those with significant underlying cardiac disease, RBC transfuse to maintain hemoglobin levels between 10 and 12 g/dL

57

For avoid the risks of hemolysis,

agglutination, and clotting, all blood

products should be administered

through filtered lines with normal saline

without electrolyte or drug additives.

58

PREVENTION OF HYPOTHERMIA

Rapid transfusion of multiple units of

chilled blood may reduce the core

temperature abruptly and can lead to

cardiac arrhythmias .

hypothermia interfere with the normal

functioning of the coagulation system.

A blood warmer should be used whenever

more than three units are transfused.

59

Massive blood transfusion Massive transfusion, defined as the

replacement by transfusion of more than 50 percent of a patient's blood volume in 12 to 24 hours

Massive transfusion involves: the selection of the appropriate

amounts and types of blood componentsmanagement of bleeding and

coagulation abnormalitieschanges in ionized calcium, potassium,

and acid-base balance.

60

RED CELL AND VOLUME REPLACEMENT 

Correction of the deficit in blood volume with

crystalloid volume expanders will generally maintain

hemodynamic stability, while transfusion of red cells

is used to improve and maintain tissue oxygenation .

Each unit of packed cells contains 200 mL of red cells,

will raise the hematocrit by 3-4 % unless there is

continued bleeding.

At rest, oxygen delivery is normally four times oxygen

consumption. if intravascular volume is maintained

during bleeding oxygen delivery will be adequate

until the hematocrit falls below 10 percent.

61

COAGULATION PROTEINS  there will be 10 percent decrease in the

concentration of clotting proteins for each

500 mL of blood loss .

Additional bleeding based solely on

dilution can occur when the level of

coagulation proteins falls to 25 percent of

normal. This usually requires 8 to 10 units

of red cells in an adult.

Thus, the PT, aPTT, and fibrinogen should

be monitored in patients receiving

massive blood transfusions of this

magnitude.

62

Two units of FFP should be given if the

values exceed 1.5 times control.

Each unit will increase the clotting

protein levels by 10 percent.

Cryoprecipitate may be used when

fibrinogen levels are critically low (<100

mg/dL)

63

PLATELET COUNT  A similar dilutional effect on the platelet

concentration can be seen with massive

transfusion .

each 10 to 12 units of transfused red cells

can produce a 50 percent fall in the platelet

count; thus, significant thrombocytopenia

can be seen after 10 to 20 units of blood.

with platelet counts below 50,000/microL.

six units of random donor platelets, or one

unit of apheresis platelets, should be given.

each unit should increase the platelet count

by 5000 to 10,000/microL.
