Cord Prolapse

Background: General anesthesia for cesarean section is being less popular for cesarean section in present days but sometime general anesthesia is inevitable. The aim of the study is to assess the trends of general anesthesia, indications, clinical outcome in mother and fetus in high altitude setting of tertiary care center of Nepal. Methods: We conducted descriptive cross-sectional study all cases of cesarean section in Karnali Academy of health Sciences (KAHS) located at high altitude over three years period   in our institute. Data were retrieved from the hospital records during three fiscal year (Jan 1st 2017 to Jan Dec 31st 2019). The record of all the patients who underwent cesarean section under general anesthesia was reviewed for demographic details, indication of general anesthesia, trends for general and spinal anesthesia and maternal and neonatal outcome. Results: Out of total deliveries 2175, 309 (14.2%) cases account for cesarean section. Among them, 52 (17%) required general anesthesia . Eclampsia 19(36%) remain the major indication for General Anesthesia in cesarean section followed by failure of spinal anesthesia number 14 (26%) , cord prolapse six (12%), antepartam haemorrhage five (10%), spinal site infection four (8%), Khiphoscoliosis two(4%), Patients request  two (4%). Use for general anesthesia technique was consistent for three years with slow rise in use of spinal anesthesia . There was no any anesthesia related maternal mortality and nine intraoperative neonatal   Conclusions:  General anesthesia practices are consistently required in rural high-altitude setup. Eclampsia is the commonest indication followed by failure of spinal anesthesia and cord prolapse. Neonatal outcome is still not good.

AbstractBackgroundUmbilical cord prolapse is rare but a very serious obstetric emergency. Its incidence has declined over time and significant advances in its management have improved perinatal outcome.Case presentationA 38-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 0) conceived a dichorionic twin pregnancy through in vitro fertilization presented at 21 weeks of gestation with premature rupture of membrane of the presenting twin. At 21+4 weeks’ gestation, cord prolapse of the presenting twin into the vagina was identified by ultrasound. Parents chose conservative management, and planned cesarean section was done at 27+4 weeks.ConclusionOur case demonstrates that conservative management with measures to reduce the risks of infection and a planned delivery can result in positive outcomes even in cases where the cord prolapse occurs prior to viability.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the success rate of vaginal delivery, the reasons for unplanned caesarean delivery, the rate of umbilical cord prolapse and the risk of umbilical cord prolapse in twin deliveries.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingSingle institution.ParticipantsThis study included 455 women pregnant with twins (307 dichorionic and 148 monochorionic) who attempted vaginal delivery from January 2009 to August 2018. The following criteria were considered for vaginal delivery: diamniotic twins, cephalic presentation of the first twin, no history of uterine scar, no other indications for caesarean delivery, no major structural abnormality in either twin and no fetal aneuploidy.ResultsThe rate of vaginal delivery of both twins was 89.5% (407 of 455), caesarean delivery of both twins was 7.7% (35 of 455) and caesarean delivery of only the second twin was 2.9% (13 of 455). The major reasons for unplanned caesarean delivery were arrest of labour and non-reassuring fetal heart rate pattern. The rate of umbilical cord prolapse in the second twin was 1.8% (8 of 455). Multivariate analysis revealed that abnormal umbilical cord insertion in the second twin (velamentous or marginal) was the only significant factor for umbilical cord prolapse in the second twin (OR, 5.05, 95% CI 1.139 to 22.472, p=0.033).ConclusionsAbnormal umbilical cord insertion in the second twin (velamentous or marginal) was a significant factor for umbilical cord prolapse during delivery. Antenatal assessment of the second twin’s umbilical cord insertion using ultrasonography would be beneficial.

Background: Stillbirth contributes significantly to perinatal mortality. This study was conducted with aim to determine various factors associated with it and to define the causes of stillbirth according to relevant condition at birth.Materials and Methods :This is prospective cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Manipal Teaching Hospital from July 2015 to June 2017. All cases of stillbirth occurring during antenatal or intrapartum period after 28 weeks of gestation or fetus weighing 1000 grams or more were included. Detailed demographic parameters were noted. After delivery, fetus, placenta, umbilical cord and amniotic fluid were noted in detail. Data was entered in SPSS version 16 and analysis done.Results: The stillbirth rate was 22 per 1000 births. Low educational level of women, lack of antenatal care, multiparous status, gestational age less than 34 weeks, low birth weight and male gender of fetus were found to be significantly associated with stillbirths. The cause of fetal death could be identified according to relevant condition at death in 84% of cases. Only in 16%, the cause of stillbirth was not identified. Intrauterine growth restriction was the commonest cause of stillbirth (22%), followed by congenital anomalies (15%) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (14%). Other causes were abruptio (7%), intrapartum asphyxia (7%) and rupture uterus (5%). Other minor causes were anemia, diabetes, cord prolapse and amniotic fluid abnormalities.Conclusion :Low level of education, lack of quality antenatal care, multiparity, low gestational age and birth weight and male sex of fetus were factors associated with stillbirth. The cause of stillbirth was identified in most of the cases and largely was due to intrauterine growth restriction.Journal of Nobel Medical CollegeVolume 6, Number 2, Issue 11, July-December 2017, 58-65
