Filter by:Study design: A prospective randomized control trial was carried out at labor and delivery unit at Kasr Al Aini Hospital, Cairo University. Population of study: 192 pregnant women at the age range from 20 to 35 years, with BMI < 30kg/m2 presenting with a full-term singleton healthy living fetus (gestational age >39 weeks confirmed by the first day of the last menstrual period or first-trimester ultrasound scan) and candidate for elective cesarean delivery (Previous one or two cesarean section) were included in our study. Patients with uterine over distension as due to multiple pregnancies or polyhydramnios, multipara (parity ≥3), women with uterine fibroids, antepartum hemorrhage presentation such as placenta previa, placental abruption or vasa previa, moderate to severe anemia with hemoglobin level <9mg/dl, patient on anticoagulant during pregnancy or having coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia or blood dyscrasias, hypertension, cardiovascular, DM, hepatic, or renal disorders and women with any contraindication for the use of misoprostol or oxytocin as allergy to prostaglandin and concomitant drugs that have drug interaction with prostaglandins as topical dinoprostone, antacids containing magnesium were excluded from our study.
Pre test and post test questionnaire for evaluation of skills and teamwork capacities in PPH management
This study is aimed to show effectiveness of a new suture technique to stop postpartum uterine bleeding due to uterine atony.
Aim of the Work is To determine the significance of the placental thickness and the thickness of the uterine muscle layer at placenta attachment in the prediction of postpartum hemorrhage and to evaluate both of them as as parameters for identifying high-risk patients.
The goal of this study is to compare 2 medications that are commonly used to prevent excess uterine bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage, or PPH) following cesarean delivery (CD), oxytocin and carbetocin. Most of the trials evaluating the preventative role of oxytocin and carbetocin after CD have focused on patient with low-risk of PPH. This trial will focus on patients that are at increased risk of PPH, with risk factors such as: multiple gestation (twins, or more multiples), large baby, polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid), history of PPH, body mass index greater than 40, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and placenta previa. The investigators hypothesize that carbetocin would be more effective than an oxytocin regimen in reducing the risk of PPH in patients undergoing CD with any of the biological high-risk factors.
This is a prospective, single-center, randomized control study to determine if video education at the time of postpartum discharge improves patient knowledge on the warning signs for the top three causes of severe maternal morbidity (infection, hemorrhage, and blood pressure disorders) in the first seven days following delivery for self-identified, Black, Latinx, other with two or more self-identified races, Medicaid, and/or uninsured postpartum individuals. Participants will be randomized to written discharge education + video education (intervention) vs standard discharge education (control). They will complete a baseline questionnaire and a post-discharge education questionnaire during their postpartum stay to assess for knowledge improvement. The investigators hypothesize that video education will improve patient's knowledge of severe maternal morbidity warning signs.
This study will investigate the effects of drugs called "uterotonics" that help with the contraction of the uterus after a baby is born. This uterine contraction is very important to stop the bleeding after delivery. An uncontracted uterine state is called "uterine atony", which can lead to an excessive amount of post-delivery bleeding. Carbetocin is an uterotonic drug that works well to prevent post-delivery bleeding. In some cases, carbetocin is not enough to contract the uterus, and ongoing bleeding continues. When that happens, there are other uterotonic medications that can be used. In this study, we aim to find which uterotonic drug, amongst those available (oxytocin, carbetocin, ergometrine or carboprost), is more effective to lower the risk of post-delivery bleeding once carbetocin has already been administered. This study will be done by using a very small sample of uterine tissue, taken from the incision site, following delivery by cesarean section. The sample is taken to the laboratory and will be exposed to carbetocin followed by other uterotonic drugs. The information obtained from this study will help modify the treatment for uterine atony and post-delivery bleeding to lower the risk further.
The goal of this study is to learn about how medication that is used to help treat low blood pressure during a Cesarean delivery (CD) can cause changes to the uterine muscle tissue and its ability to contract, in patients with Type II and gestational diabetes. Spinal anesthesia administered during elective CD has been known to cause hypotension (low blood pressure) as a side effect during the procedure, and is prevented by administration of vasopressors (medication to raise blood pressure) by the anesthesiologist after the delivery of the baby. Vasopressors treat hypotension by interacting with receptors on blood vessels that increase blood pressure, which can also cause changes to uterine contractility. Inadequate uterine contraction after CD can expose mothers to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), with diabetic patients displaying a 2.5-times higher risk of PPH. It is important to understand how vasopressor(s) might affect the uterine contractility of women with Type II and gestational diabetes. Since medication to contract the uterus is also routinely administered at delivery, it is important to study the effect of these drugs in combination. The purpose of this study is to compare uterine contractility patterns and receptor distribution in women with type II and gestational diabetic and control term pregnant patients with administration of vasopressors. This will be done using small uterine tissue samples taken from the incision site following CD, which will then be used for experiments in the laboratory.
This study will assess the performance of the Quantra System with the QStat Cartridge versus standard of care coagulation testing in pregnant women at risk of bleeding at delivery.
In France in 2021, 11.6% of deliveries were complicated by a postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), including 3.0% by severe PPH (the bleeding volume exceeds 1000 ml). Severe PPH is the 5th cause of maternal death (8.4% or 1.2 deaths per 100,000 live births). These deaths were considered preventable in 90% of cases. A plasma fibrinogen concentration below 2 g/L is considered as a critical threshold which constitutes a marker of severity of PPH and is significantly associated with the occurrence of severe PPH. Measuring the concentration of fibrinogen using a rapid test, simple to perform and interpret, available in the delivery room could optimize the management of severe PPH. The qLabs®FIB analyzer distributed by the Stago Biocare laboratory for the rapid determination of the fibrinogen concentration at the patient's bedside could meet this objective.
