Female Baby

A 20-year-old primi gravida of 32 weeks pregnancy by date was admitted in the labor room with diagnosis of preterm labor with preeclampsia. Ultrasonography revealed 36 weeks pregnancy with normal liquor volume and fundal placenta. Lower segment caesarean section was done for cephalopelvic disproportion with preeclampsia. A female baby was delivered weighing 2.4 kg, with Apgar score of 6/10, 8/10. The placenta was delivered by control cord traction. On the fundus 25% of placenta was already separated and 500 ml of old retro placental clots were found. It was abruption placentae (concealed type), the uterus was bluish/purplish color, which was diffuse on fundal area and effusions of blood were also seen beneath the tubal serosa. After delivery of the baby uterus was well contracted 20 weeks size, bilateral ovaries were normal.Journal of Patan Academy of Health Sciences. 2014 Dec;1(2):49-51

Lower Segment Caesarean Section

Introduction: The incidence of caesarean section is increasing day by day. One of the most common complications is primary or secondary postpartum haemorrhage. Tranexamic acid has been shown to be very useful in reducing blood loss and incidence of blood transfusion in varieties of surgery. Aims: To study the efficacy of tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during and after the lower segment caesarean section. Methods: Arandomized, case controlled, prospective study was conducted on 100 women undergoing lower segment caesarean section carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Nepalgunj Medical College, Kohalpur from Sept 2019 to Feb 2020.Fifty of them were given tranexamic acid immediately before lower segment caesarean section and were compared with 50 others to whom tranexamic acid was not given. Blood loss was collected and measured during two different time interval. The first period was considered from placental delivery to end of lower segment caesarean section and second from the end of lower segment caesarean section to 2 hours postpartum period. Vital signs at time of delivery, at 1 hour and 2 hour postpartum and APGAR score at 1 min and 5 min were studied in both the groups. Results: Tranexamic acid significantly reduced the quantity of blood loss from the placental delivery to 2 hours post-partum: 360.9 ml in the study group, versus 443 ml in the control group (p=0.0008).It also significantly reduced the quantity of blood loss from the end of  lower segment caesarean section to 2 hours postpartum:71.5 ml in the study group versus 112.6 ml in the control group (p=0.0002).There was 18% less incidence of postpartum haemorrhage , who received tranexamic acid(p=0.02).There were no significant adverse drug reaction and difference in APGAR score in both the groups. No complications or side effects were reported in either group. Conclusion: Tranexamic acid is safe and effective in reducing blood loss among women undergoing lower segment caesarean section.

Background: To correlate the perinatal outcome by noting the umbilical coiling index.Methods: The umbilical cords of the babies born to 500 women, who delivered either vaginally or by lower segment caesarean section, were examined and umbilical coiling index was calculated.Results: There was significant correlation (p value 0.003) between. Hypercoiling (UCI >90th percentile) is associated with IUGR. Hypocoiling (UCI <10th percentile) is associated with: - Meconium staining liquor, high LSCS rates, low Apgar score <7 at 1 min and at 5 min respectively and NICU admissions of babies.Conclusions: Hypercoiling (UCI >90th percentile) is associated with IUGR Hypocoiling (UCI <10th percentile) is associated with meconium staining liquor, high LSCS rates, low Apgar score <7 at 1 min and at 5 min respectively and NICU admissions of babies.

Case Series Study

Objective: To observe the effect of abnormal Cardiotocography to delivery interval on perinatal outcome in terms of Apgar score. Study design: Descriptive case series study. Place and duration of study: Baqai Medical University department of obstetrics and gynecology Fatima Hospital Karachi from Jan 2011 to July 2011. Material and method: One hundred patients were registered who had pathological Cardiotocography. Bishop’s score was noted and decision to deliver the patient was made according to the abnormality, and bishop’s score. If bishop’s score was good and vaginal delivery was imminent, then her second stage was shortened by operative vaginal delivery. Fetal distress was managed by left lateral position, O2 inhalation and hydration. If delivery was not imminent then decision of urgent LSCS was made, meanwhile fetal distress was managed. Decision – delivery interval was recorded, and fetal outcome was noted in terms of Apgar score and resuscitation needed. Results: During this period one hundred pregnant women at term had pathological CTG for which they were delivered urgently. Among them 12% of parturients were delivered within 30 min ,68% delivered within 30-60 min , 12% delivered in 60-90 min and only 8% were delivered in 90-120 min. Seventy four (74%) of parturients were delivered by emergency lower segment caesarean section and 26% of parturients were delivered by instrumental vaginal delivery. Fetal outcome in terms of 1 min Apgar score ,38% of neonates had Apgar score of <7 ,46% had >7 and 16% had Apgar score of <5. This group of neonates required resuscitation and 5 min Apgar was good. No neonate was admitted in Neonatal unit. Conclusions: In this study it is concluded that with fetal heart rate abnormality, if fetus is delivered within 60 min, it is not associated with poor fetal and neonatal outcome, provided fetal distress is managed while preparing for emergency lower segment caesarean section.

A pregnant woman with gravida 3, para 2, living 2 and gestational age of 37 weeks and 3 days was referred to a zonal hospital as previous two lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) term pregnancy with placenta previa for safe confinement with complaints of dry cough. She was admitted with a diagnosis of COVID-19 suspect. During her hospitalization, oxygen (O2) saturation was normal. On investigations her counts were normal. Patient was planned for elective LSCS. COVID-19 test i.e. real time-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) report was suspect and asked for repeat sampling. During elective LSCS, delivered single live female baby with intra operative findings of placenta previa with adherent placenta and permpartum hysterectomy was done for same. Uterus with placenta was sent for histopathological examination (HPE). During the surgery her oxygen concentration was normal. Her postoperative recovery was uneventful.

Background: The main aim of this study is to determine the maternal and fetal outcome of pregnancy among women with one previous caesarean section at term in relation to vaginal delivery, post partum complication, neonatal complication like low Apgar score, fetal weight and admission in special baby unit. Methods: This is a prospective and descriptive study done in a sample size of 100. Inclusion criteria were term pregnancy, single live fetus with cephalic presentation with one previous caesarean section. During study period total number of obstetric admissions was 3546 and 115 cases were admitted with previous one caesarean section. Result: Out of 100 cases, 31 cases had vaginal delivery and 69 cases had caesarean section. Among 31 vaginal deliveries, 24 cases had spontaneous vaginal delivery and 7 had assisted delivery with vacuum, main indication of vacuum delivery was to cut short the second stage of labor that was in 5(71.43%) cases. Among 69 caesarean section cases, 51 had emergency caesarean section and 18 had elective caesarean section and cephalopelvic disproportion was the main indication in both the groups. Most common complication was scar dehiscence and postpartum hemorrhage. There were two still births in each group and one minute APGAR score was slightly better in caesarean section. Conclusions: Patients with previous caesarean section are at high risk of repeat emergency or elective caesarean section. About one in three patients with previous caesarean section delivered vaginally. In the present study postpartum hemorrhage was the commonest complication, which was found in caesarean section, and only  one puerperal pyrexia was seen in case of vaginal delivery.
