DISCUSSION
29
Introduction
•Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is an obstetric emergency
•It is the 1
st
-leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality
worldwide.
•PPH- Defined as cumulative blood loss ≥ 1000ml or
•Blood loss accompanied by sign and symptoms of hypovolemia
within 24 hours after birth process regardless of route of
delivery.
•Clinically also defined as a decrease in Hct. of 10% from the
base line.
30
Classification & Etiology
• Primary or early PPH: in the first 24 hours
after delivery
•etiologies: Uterine atony, Retained placenta,
Genital tract lacerations, Uterine rupture, Uterine inversion,
Coagulopathy
31
Classification & Etiology of PPH
• 2⁰ or delayed(late) PPH:
•occurs from 24 hours to 12 weeks after delivery
•Etiology -Endometritis, Placental site sub involution, Retained
placental fragments, Coagulopathy, Gestational choriocarcinoma
•Our patients it is 1⁰ PPH 2⁰ to lateral extension of hysterotomy
incision
32
Management of PPH
•The management depends on the etiology of PPH and
hemodynamic status of the pt.
•In addition to fluid administration and transfusion of blood
products;
•Temporizing maneuvers should be attempted prior to
performing any surgical procedures in hemodynamically
unstable pts.
•so every effort should be made to reverse contributing factors
such as hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy;
•Cessation of hemorrhage depends on reversal of any
coagulopathy acidosis
33
Mgt…
•Quick assessment of the etiology & the source of bleeder is
important 1
st
steps b/c the mgt. vary(4T’s).
•Generally, in treatment of PPH, less invasive method should be
used initially if possible.
•The initial mgt. Depends on the etiology
– medical mgt.
–Radiological mgt.
–Surgical mgt.
34
Laparotomy
•Laparotomy is best performed through a vertical midline
incision to provide exposure of both the pelvis and
abdomen
•In patients at or post cesarean delivery, the existing
incision is used.
•In our pts the existing Pfenninstiel incision
is used for relap.
35
Laparotomy….
•The abdominal cavity is irrigated to remove blood and clots and
inspected for the source of bleeding.
•These sites should be actively evaluated in patients with
compensated shock (normal blood pressure with increasing heart
rate).
36
TEMPORARY MEASURES FOR STABILIZING HEMODYNAMICALLY
UNSTABLE PATIENTS
•Patients at imminent risk of exsanguination
- Manual aortic compression
- Resuscitative endovascular balloon
occlusion of the aorta
- Intermittent intraaortic balloon occlusion
37
Temporizing maneuver…….
38
Myometrial laceration
•Serious hemorrhage is caused by lateral extension of the incision.
•Generally, Bleeding from a hysterotomy incision is controlled by
suture ligation.
•The angle of transverse incision should be clearly visualized for
retracted vessels.
•. Deterioration of maternal vital sign without obvious bleeding
should alert intraperitoneal or retro-peritoneal bleeding
39
Laceration…..
•An Enlarging hematoma beyond the end of the incision (or
swelling beneath the surface of broad ligament) suggest
retracted blood vessel with ongoing bleeding.
•On lateral lacerations, placement of hemostatic sutures should
be made with caution to avoid injury to the ureters.
40
Laceration of uterine artery or utero-
ovarian artery branches
•Bilateral ligation of uterine vessels (O’ Leary stitch) is the
preferred approach for controlling PPH from Uterine artery or
branches of utero-Ovarian artery.
•Bleeding adjacent to the uterus without clear bleeding points
can be managed by ligation of uterine vessels
41
Hysterectomy
•It is Definitive treatment of uterine bleeding
•If the fertility preserving procedures do not reduce the
bleeding to the manageable level.
42
Post laparotomy inspection
•The need for ≥2 units of blood(packed RBC) per hour for
3hour is a sign of significant ongoing bleeding & a need to
return to OR or
•Arterial embolization by an interventional vascular
specialist.
43
Comment
•Poor follow up of labor progress(incomplete
partograph)
•Referral diagnosis of NRFHRP was undermined
•Lack of blood is a challenging in rescesitation.
•Clear observation of the two lateral age for active
bleeding or for placement of suture before closure of
the abdomen should be made in lateral extension;
