Prostaglandin E2 vaginal suppositories are a highly effective method of second-trimester pregnancy termination. Management of a failed prostaglandin abortion must include a search for the cause of the failure. This case report is the first description of a failed prostaglandin abortion associated
Many types of uterine packing are attempted to control PPH, including B-Lynch suture, Cho's suture, and so on. A female PPH caused by a low-lying placenta and placenta accreta did not respond to bimanual compression massage, administration of oxytocin and prostaglandins. A combination of B-Lynch
BACKGROUND
Severe postpartum hemorrhage is a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality. The use of prostaglandin F2-alpha to control severe postpartum hemorrhage may avert surgery for the control of bleeding.
METHODS
After ruling out the possibility of genital tract injuries, 18
OBJECTIVE
To investigate a new method for management of massive postpartum hemorrhage in cases of abnormal placenta adhesion.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
An 18-year-old nullipara presented with fulminant postpartum bleeding after cesarean section due to placenta
The management of a 28-year-old primigravida with placenta accreta diagnosed during Caesarean section is described. A hysterectomy was required to control massive haemorrhage, and the patient made a full recovery. The increased incidence of placenta accreta over the last three decades is thought to
Two case reports of conservative management of placenta accreta in primiparous women are reported. Initial attempts to evacuate the uterus via manual removal and routine oxytocics were unsuccessful. The patients were counselled regarding further management options, surgical (hysterectomy),
Placenta percreta complicating pregnancy in the first trimester is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. A patient with risk factors for placenta percreta that presented as first trimester fetal demise, unresponsive to medical management with prostaglandin, is
Placenta percreta complicating pregnancy in the first trimester is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We recently reported on a patient with risk factors for placenta percreta that presented as first trimester fetal demise, unresponsive to medical management
A woman underwent cesarean delivery for premature labor, breech presentation, and ruptured membranes. Placenta accreta associated with uterine atony and severe hemorrhage was diagnosed. Prostaglandin E1 instead of prostaglandin F2 alpha was inadvertently administered in an effort to control the
Postpartum hemorrhage is a potentially life-threatening obstetric complication. A 22-month experience treating postpartum hemorrhage with Prostin 15M patients who had not responded to conventional therapy is presented. A total of 26 patients were treated. There were 22 successes and 4 failures
Repeated intramuscular injections of 15-(S)-15-methyl-PGF2 alpha were administered to 15 patients with a missed abortion. Fourteen (93,3%) aborted within 24 hours, with a mean induction abortion interval of 10 hours 54 minutes. The single failure occurred in a patient with a placenta accreta. The
An inverted uterus is defined as the eversion of the uterus into the vagina. It is a very rare event but has to be treated as an emergency. A woman with an inverted uterus is in serious danger of developing atony with high blood loss in a short time. This can lead to hypovolemic shock and
Every minute of every day, a woman dies in pregnancy or childbirth. The biggest killer is obstetric haemorrhage, the successful treatment of which is a challenge for both the developed and developing worlds. The presence of an attendant at every birth and access to emergency obstetric care are key
Postpartum hemorrhages are observed in 2 to 10% of all deliveries. They are severe in 1% of the pregnancies. However, they remain a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Post-partum hemorrhages are generally separated in 2 categories. Acute hemorrhage occurs in the 24 hours following the
Normal implantation and placentation is critical for pregnancy success. Many pregnancy-related complications that present late in gestation (such as pre-eclampsia and preterm labour) appear to have their origins early in pregnancy with abnormalities in implantation and placental development.
