Cesarean Sections

Background and Objective: Blood loss in cesarean deliveries has already been established in previous researches but a detailed insight into the correlates has not been done. This study examined whether the number of previous Cesarean sections is related to the need for blood transfusion, and risk factors for blood transfusion. Methods: A retrospective review of 239 females who had undergone two or more Cesarean sections during the time period of 2015-2018 was done. Data collected included type of surgery (elective or emergency), age, parity, body mass index, estimated blood loss, operating time, level of surgeon, presence or absence of adhesions and number of transfused packed cell volume. Results: About 9.2% patients received blood transfusion with an estimated average blood loss of 618.18 ml. Patients with adhesions from previous surgery, presence of placenta previa, multiparity were significantly likely to receive blood transfusion. It was found that women with more than two caesarian sections had high proportion of blood transfusion as compared to women who had two caesarian sections. However non-significant difference was observed in numbers of caesarean sections with blood transfusion. Conclusion: Women undergoing Cesarean sections combined with any of the risk factors like increased body mass index, dense adhesions, uterine atony, hypertension and presence of placenta previa, were found to be at increased risk for a need for blood transfusions. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.6.539 How to cite this:Abbas S, Mughal S, Hussain SNF, Hossain N.

Abstract Background The incidence of placenta preiva is rising. Cesarean delivery is identified as the only safe and appropriate mode of delivery for pregnancies with placenta previa. Anesthesia is important during the cesarean delivery. The aim of this study is to assess maternal and neonatal outcomes of patients with placenta previa managed with neuraxial anesthesia as compared to those who underwent general anesthesia during cesarean delivery. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed of all patients with placenta preiva at our large academic institution from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2019. Patients were managed neuraxial anesthesia and general anesthesia during cesarean delivery. Results We identified 1234 patients with placenta previa who underwent cesarean delivery at our institution. Neuraxial anesthesia was performed in 737 (59.7%), and general anesthesia was completed in 497 (40.3%) patients. The mean estimated blood loss at neuraxial anesthesia of 558.96 ± 42.77 ml were significantly lower than the estimated blood loss at general anesthesia of 1952.51 ± 180 ml (p < 0.001). One hundred and forty-six of 737 (19.8%) patients required blood transfusion at neuraxial anesthesia, whereas 381 out of 497 (76.7%) patients required blood transfusion at general anesthesia. The rate neonatal asphyxia and admission to NICU at neuraxial anesthesia was significantly lower than general anesthesia (2.7% vs. 19.5 and 18.2% vs. 44.1%, respectively). After adjusting confounding factors, blood loss was less, Apgar score at 1- and 5-min were higher, and the rate of blood transfusion, neonatal asphyxia, and admission to NICU were lower in the neuraxial group. Conclusions Our data demonstrated that neuraxial anesthesia is associated with better maternal and neonatal outcomes during cesarean delivery in women with placenta previa.

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of preoperative misoprostal in reducing hemorrhage during abdominal myomectomy. Study Design: Prospective comparative randomized double blinded Place and Duration: Conducted at DHQ Zanana hospital Dera Ismail Khan for one year duration from January 2019 to December 2019. Methods: Total 100 patients underwent abdominal myomectomy were presented in this study. Patients were aged between 18-45 years of age. Patients’ detailed demographics including age, body mass index and parity were recorded after taking informed written consent. Patients were categorized equally into two groups, I and II. Group I had 50 patients and received single dose 400 micrograms of misoprostol transrectally one hour preoperatively and group II had 50 patients and received 2-tablets of placebo preoperatively. Outcomes intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion, hysterectomy and complications among both groups were assessed. Complete data was analyzed by SPSS 23.0 version. Results: Mean age of the patients was 32.16±9.44 with mean BMI 26.07±10.44 kg/m2. There were no significantly difference among age and body mass among both groups. 60 Patients had 0 parity, 30 patients had parity 1 and the rest were had parity 2. Mean pre-operative hemoglobin in group I was 13.64±8.55 and post-operative was 9.88±8.55 and in group II mean pre-operative hemoglobin was 13.55±8.55 and post-operative was 9.12±5.55. Mean intraoperative blood loss in group I was 388.17±37.18 ml and in group II was 501.16±17.64 ml. Post-operatively blood transfusion in group I was among 2(4%) cases and 3 (6%) in group II. Mean hospital stay in group II was greater as compared to group I. Nausea, vomiting and shivering were the complications found in this study. Conclusion: We concluded in this study that the use ofmisoprostol preoperatively during abdominal myomectomy was effective safe and useful in reduction of intraoperative blood loss and post-operatively blood transfusion among patients.

Objective This study was performed to analyze the correlation between perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) and the general condition of patients undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent TLIF from July 2017 to July 2019 in our hospital. Sex, age, body mass index, underlying diseases, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, coagulation function, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin level and hematocrit, surgery time, fusion level, intraoperative blood loss, and drainage volume were recorded. Postoperative complications were also recorded. The amount of HBL was calculated, and its correlation with related variables was analyzed. Results The mean surgery time was 153.32 ± 54.86 minutes. The total perioperative blood loss was 789.22 ± 499.68 mL, including HBL of 315.69 ± 199.87 mL. Pearson correlation analysis showed statistically significant differences in HBL according to the body mass index, hypertension, fibrinogen, surgery time, and fusion level. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the surgery time and fusion level were independent risk factors for HBL. Conclusions A certain amount of HBL occurs in TLIF surgery and cannot be ignored in daily clinical work. The operation time and surgery level are independent risk factors for HBL.

The bidirectional relation between body mass index (BMI) and heart failure (HF) is complex and not fully understood. The obesity paradox phenomena is controversial and related to patient selection, parameters used for defining abnormal weight, characteristics of HF. Our study sustain the importance of controlling risk factors, in particular plasma glucose, lipid levels, as well as hypertension in patients with HF and BMI over 25 kg/m2. Also, in contrast to the randomized control studies our results can only partially support data related to obesity paradox phenomena.

(1) Background: Scotland has one of the highest rates of obesity in the Western World, it is well established that poor weight profiles, and particularly abdominal obesity, is strongly associated with Type II diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Whether these associations are apparent in ethnic population groups in Scotland is unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between different measures of fatness with clustered cardio metabolic risk factors between Scottish South Asian adolescents and Scottish Caucasian adolescents; (2) Methods: A sample of 208 Caucasian adolescents and 52 South Asian adolescents participated in this study. Stature, waist circumference, body mass index, blood pressure, physical activity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk were measured; (3) Results: Significant, partial correlations in the South Asian cohort between body mass index (BMI) and individual risk factors were generally moderate. However, correlations between Waist circumference (WC) and individual risk factors were significant and strong. In the Caucasian cohort, a significant yet weak correlation between WC and total cholesterol (TG) was noted although no other associations were evident for either WC or BMI. Multiple regression analysis revealed that both BMI and WC were positively associated with CCR (p < 0.01) in the South Asian group and with the additional adjustment of either WC or BMI, the independent associations with clustered cardio-metabolic risk (CCR) remained significant (p < 0.005); (4) Conclusions: No positive relationships were found between BMI, WC, and CCR in the Caucasian group. Strong and significant associations between measures of fatness and metabolic risk were evident in Scottish South Asian adolescents.
