A patient with G1P0 status 38 weeks pregnancy with pain with no high risk delivered at PHC, Hatod, Madhya Pradesh (India). She delivered a male baby by spontaneous vaginal delivery of 3.1 kg. All of sudden after 2nd stage of labour, her 3rd stage of labour was eventful. Placenta did not come out spontaneously so controlled cord traction was given by the ANM over the PHC. She was given intramuscular oxytocin 5 IU. She did the traction with proper care but inspite of that while doing so placenta got separated but there was complete uterine inversion. ANM herself tried to reposit the uterus but could not do so. So ANM immediately referred her from PHC to MYH, Indore, Madhya Pradesh (India).

Objetivo: estimar a prevalência de parto vaginal após cesárea em uma maternidade de alto risco e identificar as complicações maternas e neonatais. Método: trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo e retrospectivo, realizado com 44 mulheres que tiveram parto normal com cesárea prévia, por meio da análise dos prontuários realizou-se a análise descritiva com frequências absolutas e simples. Resultados: a prevalência de parto vaginal após cesárea foi de 13%. Ocorreu complicação em 13,6% das mulheres, porém não houve rotura uterina e em 4,5% dos neonatos. Conclusões: os desfechos favoráveis comprovam a segurança deste procedimento para a mãe e para neonato e servem de estímulo para que os profissionais incentivem as gestantes com cesárea anterior a considerarem a via vaginal como uma possibilidade segura para o próximo parto.

The new guidelines provided by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics on the Use of Ribavirin in the Treatment of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV) are perplexing and prompt concern: "Ribavirin treatment is recommended for the following patients hospitalized with RSV lower respiratory tract disease: a. infants at high risk for severe or complicated RSV infection, including those with complicated congenital heart disease (including pulmonary hypertension); those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, . . ."1,pp502-503 The accompanying qualifier that "the recommendations in this statement do not indicate an exclusive course of treatment or procedure to be followed"1,p501 is important but insufficient to dampen the effect of the Committee's decision to change its former stance of merely urging consideration of the use of ribavirin for patients at high risk for complications2 to an unequivocal recommendation to do so.

Background: Postpartum depression is one of the most common postpartum diseases, which has an important impact on the interaction between mother, infant, partner and family, as well as the long-term emotional and cognitive development of infants. However, there are still great disagreements on whether the delivery mode will affect the risk of postpartum depression. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the mode of delivery will affect the risk of postpartum depression through the comprehensive network meta-analysis of elective cesarean section, emergency cesarean section, instrumental vaginal delivery and spontaneous vaginal delivery. Methods: We searched in three electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library. Results: This paper included 43 studies with a total sample size of 1,827,456 participants. Direct meta-analysis showed that the odds ratio of postpartum depression risk was 1.33 (95% confidence interval = [1.21, 1.46]) between cesarean section and vaginal delivery. The odds ratios of high Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale score between cesarean section and vaginal delivery in the three postpartum periods (within 2 weeks, within half a year and over half a year) were basically the same. There was no difference between cesarean section and vaginal delivery in the risk of severe postpartum depression at the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale cut-off point ⩾13 (odds ratio = 1.07; 95% confidence interval = [0.99, 1.16]). Network meta-analysis showed that the risk of postpartum depression in the pairwise comparisons emergency cesarean section vs spontaneous vaginal delivery and elective cesarean section vs spontaneous vaginal delivery was odds ratio = 1.53 (95% confidence interval = [1.22, 1.91]) and 1.47 (95% confidence interval = [1.16, 1.86]). Conclusion: The mode of delivery has a significant effect on the occurrence of mild postpartum depression. Women who give birth by cesarean section, especially who give birth by emergency cesarean section, are at a higher risk of mild postpartum depression. We should carefully monitor the progress of postpartum mental disorders in women who delivered by cesarean section and make it possible for women to have a quick access to mental healthcare.
