Post Partum Haemorrhage

Background: Post partum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the most common causes ofmaternal mortality worldwide. Primary PPH (which occurs within 24 hours of delivery) hasbeen studied a lot. But data regarding secondary PPH (which occurs 24 hours after deliveryupto to 6 weeks post partum) is sparse. Our aim was to find out the risk factors and maternaloutcome of secondary PPH. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional analytic study of 32 cases admitted with secondaryPPH in Gynae and Obstetric department of Rangpur Medical College Hospital during 1 yearstudy period was carried out. Result: Frequency of secondary PPH was 0.58%. Mean age of the patient was 25.23±2.79years; 22(69%) patients were multi para; 17 (53%) patients had education up to primarylevel. Maximum patients [18 (56%)] were from low socio economic status. Mean time ofpresentation was 13.5±2.78 days after delivery; 14(44%) patients delivered vaginally and18(56%) patients delivered by caesarean section. Most of the vaginal delivery 9 (28%) wereconducted by untrained dai or other family member. Among 32 patients, 31 were referredfrom outside the Hospital. Retained bits of placenta was the leading cause (15,47%) andcaesarean wound dehiscence was the second cause (13,41%); 13 (40%) patients had feveron presentation. All were anemic with mean hemoglobin concentration 7.4±1.4gm and 24(75%) of them required blood transfusion. Four patients was in shock. Antibiotic was givento all patients. DE&C was done in 15(47%) cases and laparotomy followed by total abdominalhysterectomy was done in 12 cases and repair in 1 case. Among 15 patients who underwentsurgical evacuation there was histological evidence of placental tissue in only 6(40%) patients. Conclusion: In present study retained bits of placenta and caesarean wound dehiscenceare found as main cause of secondary postpartum hemorrhage So care should be takenduring active management of third stage of labour (AMTSL). Choosing appropriate suturematerial, maintaining personal hygine of patient and sterility of operation theate, usingappropriate antibiotic to combat microbials and last but not list improving skillness of surgeonare the key to reduce the rate of secondary PPH.

Ruptured Uterus

Rupture uterus is a rare and often catastrophic condition. It is associated with a high incidence of fetal and maternal mortality and morbidity. Our objective in this study is to determine incidence, etiology, trend, management, maternal and fetal outcome of uterine rupture in Faridpur Medical College Hospital. This is a prospective cross-sectional study  of patients with ruptured uterus from the period of January 2011 to December 2011 admitted at Faridpur Medical College Hospital. All the cases of ruptured uterus who were either admitted with uterine rupture or who developed it  in hospital were included in the study. Patients having ruptured uterus due to congenital anomaly were excluded from  the study. Patients were initially assessed in labour ward, relevant sociodemographic data, previous antenatal and  surgical history recorded. Ways of management, maternal and fetal outcome were taken for analysis. There were 30 cases of ruptured uterus out of total 3606 deliveries (including 1809 caesarian sections) over a one year time period, with a prevalence of 0.83%. The most common age group was 21-30 years. A majority of patients 16(53.3%) were cases of unscarred uterus presenting with rupture; the common cause of rupture in scarred uterus was injudicious use of oxytocin (13,43.33%). Proper antenatal care, appropriate counseling of patients with history of previous caesarian section for hospital delivery, training of skilled birth attendant can reduce mortality and morbidity due to rupture uterus.

Background: Acute confusional state or delirium is a frequent cause of hospital admission in the elderly. It is characterized by an acute fluctuating impairment of cognitive functions and inattention. Recognition and prompt treatment is crucial to decrease the morbidity and mortality of hospitalized elderly patients. Aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of common medical conditions related to acute confusional state among elderly hospitalized Patients. Methods: This was a cross sectional study. We enrolled 380 patients from different medicine wards in Dhaka Medical College Hospital. We included patients with acute confusional state/delirium of less than 7 days duration. The enrolled patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of an acute confusional state. A predesigned checklist was used for data collection. Head injury was excluded by history and CT scan of brain. Patients with preexisting illnesses, such as dementia, psychiatric illnesses and recurrent seizures, and any case of poisoning was excluded. All findings were noted and recorded. A written informed consent was taken from the attendant and relatives. Result: Among 380 patients, most of confusional state developed after the age of 65 years and the mean age was 69 +/-7.6 years. Associated medical conditions were uncontrolled hypertension (63.2%), fever & infection (41.6%), uncontrolled DM (36.6%), CVD (28.4%), CKD & electrolytes abnormalities (10.5%), joint diseases & pain (13.7%). Most of the patients used plyphormacy (76.6%) out of which antihypertensive (60%) were common. The mean duration of presentation was 6.1+/-0.6 days, and among all patients about 63.7% were improved, 29.50% was in persistant symptom of confusion and 6.8% of them died. Conclusion: Acute confusional state was common after 65 years. Uncontrolled hypertension, fever & infection, uncontrolled diabetes, CVD, CKD & electrolytes abnormalities and polypharmacy were found commonly in patients with acute confusional state.

Introduction: Fetal distress is a high risk obstetric situation associated with increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. It is also a major contributor to operative interventions in the majority hospitals of developing countries. The objective of this study was to observe clinically diagnosed fetal distress and early neonatal outcome after delivery. Materials and Methods: This hospital based cross-sectional study was carried out in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bashundhara Addin Medical College Hospital, Keraniganj during the period of January to December 2019. 212 women in active phase of labor at term pregnancy who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. Fetal distress was diagnosed by abnormal FHR and /or presence of meconium in amniotic fluid after rupture of membrane. Neonatal outcome was assesss by 1st & 5th mins Apgar Scores after delivery, babies requiring immediate resuscitation and admission to neonatal care unit & recorded. Result: Among fetal distress 11.32% babies had Apgar score <7 as compared to babies without fetal distress that had 5.66% apgar score <7 at 5th minutes(p<0.05). 28.3% fetal distressed born babies required NICU admission rather than only 9.44% of without fetal distress. Conclusion: This study shows relative adverse neonatal outcome for fetal distressed babies than without distress. Medicine Today 2021 Vol.33(2): 152-155

Introduction: Non-stress test (NST) in pregnancy helps to detect fetuses which are at risk of developing hypoxia. In general, reassuring NST indicates good fetal outcome while non-reassuring NST may result in abnormal perinatal outcome. Objectives: The objective of this study is to detect the fetal outcome among term uncomplicated pregnancies with Non-reactive NST in Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital. Methodology: A cross-sectional study conducted for 6 months in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital. Singleton pregnancies with longitudinal lie and cephalic presentation between 37 to 42 weeks Period of gestation were included in the study. All participants were advised for a NST as an institutional protocol for 20 minutes at the time of admission. Participants with Non-reactive NST were counselled and planned for emergency LSCS as per hospital protocol. Participants were followed up for intraoperative findings such as colour of liquor and umbilical cord abnormality and outcome of fetus were assessed for APGAR score and need for NICU. The collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Results: Out of 115 pregnant women, the mean age and standard deviation of 24.93±4.68 years. Decelerations was found in 35(30.4%), Decreased baseline variability was found in 33(28.7%), Persistent fetal tachycardia was found in 23(20%) and Decreased baseline fetal heart was found in 24(20.9%). Intraoperative meconium-stained liquor was found in 39(33.9%) of patients. All babies born were shown APGAR score > 7 at 5 minutes. 14(12.2%) babies were admitted to the Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Correlation of admission NST was not found statistically significant with fetal outcome. Conclusion: LSCS for abnormal NST does not show adverse fetal outcome.

Background: This study is cross-sectional, observational and comparative study, at Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, Madhya Pradesh from July 2017 to July 2019 with sample size 100 placentae. Method: The placenta received was evaluated blinded of maternal pregnancy outcome. The pattern of morphology was evaluated both qualitatively (type of lesion) and quantitatively (number of lesions). Result: In Present study 79% of the deliveries were term deliveries and 21% were preterm deliveries. On placental macroscopy, placenta weight was significantly low among the neonates of preterm deliveries (370.00±60.49) as compared to term deliveries (440.89±55.22). Preterm placenta had higher number of abnormal placental lesion compared to term pregnancies. Conclusion: The uteroplacental insufficiency defined as placental infarct, fibrosis of chorionic villi, thickening of blood vessels, and poor vascularity of chorionic villi. Placental histopathological lesions are strongly associated with maternal under perfusion and uteroplacental insufficiency. These are the reasons for preterm birth. Thus, knowledge of the etiological factor can be use to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortility. Keywords: Placenta, Term & Preterm.

Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of pediatric diarrhea globally. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus diarrhea should reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics and ultimately reduce drug resistance. Study was designed for rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus antigen in stool sample by ICT (Immunochromatographic test) as well as to observe the seasonal variation of rotavirus infection. This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Microbiology, Dhaka Medical College from January 2011 to December 2011. Eighty stool samples were collected from Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital. All samples were tested for rotavirus antigen by ICT. Among 80 patients, 42 (52.5%) samples were positive for rotavirus antigen. Among these 42 positive samples, 30 (71.43%) were from 0-12 months of age group, 10 (23.81%) from 13 to 24 months of age group and rest 2 (4.76%) from 25 to 36 months of age group. Rotavirus Ag was detected in stool samples from January to April and another peak episode from October to December. Considering the importance of Rotavirus associated diarrhea, rapid detection of Rotavirus infection in human is substantially needed and should be routinely practiced.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v6i1.19354 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2012; 06(01): 11-13
