Postpartum hemorrhage, is one of the most deadly complication of pregnancy worldwide and major cause of maternal mortality especially in third world countries .1 PPH affects about 5% of all women giving birth around the world 2 .Primary PPH is defined as ≥500 mL blood loss after vaginal delivery or ≥1000 mL after CS delivery within 24 hours after birth1 . Globally, almost one quarter of all maternal deaths are linked with PPH 2. Due to the high prevalence of anemia among pregnant women in low-resource settings, the outcome of PPH is often deteriorated, resulting in damaging health consequences 3. Roughly in 70% of cases of primary pph are due to uterine atony11. Uterine atony is due to loss of contraction and retraction of myometrial muscle fibers can lead to severe hemorrhage and shock. There are several reasons behind uterine atony including maternal anemia, fatigue due to prolong labour and rapid forceful labour. Blood loss is double in caesarean section due to use of increased anesthetic agents4. According to WHO use of oxytocin (10 IU, IM /IV) is recommended for prevention of PPH for all births2. Despite its effectiveness, 10-40% of cases need additional uterotonics to ensure good uterine contraction.5 After oxytocin , Misoprostol is increasingly known as a potential treatment option for PPH 5 .Misoprostol is easily available , rapid acting , and cost effective with minimal side effects, however in caesarean section owing to the effect of anesthesia limits its use . In recent study conducted at Egypt, oxytocin plus misoprostol (study group) is compared with oxytocin alone (control group). Incident of pph was significantly lower in study group (p=0.018), as in study group (1.33%) than control group (6.67%)8. Misoprostol is an autacoid substance and act better if placed closed to target organ 9. Several routes of misoprostol, with or without oxytocin, and its result on intrapartum and postpartum hemorrhage are described in the literature. The practice of misoprostol by the intrauterine route during caesarean section is under trial.10. Aim of study is to observe the effectiveness of intrauterine misoprostol in addition to oxytocin to minimize the blood loss during caesarean section.
Primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) is not common but is the most catastrophic subtype of intracerebral hemorrhage, with acute mortality between 30% and 60%. For severe PPH, defined as Glasgow Coma score (GCS) <8 and hematoma volume≥5ml, the mortality rate is as high as 80-100%. Guidelines from the American Heart Association and European Stroke Organization do not make definite specifications. More than a century after Finkelnburg first explored the brainstem for hematoma, however, plenty of researches have shown surgery can save lives and improve the prognosis for selective patients and can be an effective and safe treatment. This study is proposed to validate the safety of surgical treatment in severe primary pontine hemorrhage.
For the present study, 400 consecutive men with unilateral primary inguinal hernia are randomized to Lichtenstein repair using either light weight polypropylene mesh (38g/m2) or light weight ProGrip mesh. ProGrip mesh adheres to tissues with polylactic micro hooks without suturing. The primary aim is to examine, whether the ProGrip mesh produces less pain than sutured polypropylene mesh. Secondary outcomes are operation time and convalescence as well as recurrence rate. ProGrip mesh is supposed to be faster to apply as no sutures are needed, which may compensate for its higher cost. The patients are blinded to which mesh they receive.
