Obstetric Labor ComplicationsPost-partum Hemorrhage3 more

The study evaluates the impact of a new conditional cash transfer (CCT) program (Thayi Bhagya Yojana) to promote child birth in obstetric facilities in the state of Karnataka, India in order to determine its policy value and to guide efforts to improve maternal and infant health outcomes nationally. In addition, the study includes a large randomized evaluation of performance-based incentive payments to providers to improve quality of medical care provided during delivery and actual health improvement in the providers' patient populations and their catchment areas.

Misoprostol for Secondary Prevention of Postpartum Hemorrhage at the Community Level in India

Postpartum Hemorrhage

This study compares two community-level strategies: selective administration of 800 mcg sublingual misoprostol to women at 350 mL blood loss for secondary prevention of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) with universal use of 600 mcg oral misoprostol at the time of delivery for primary prevention of PPH. The study hypothesizes that at community-level births, secondary prevention for women is non-inferior (based on clinical parameters) to universal prophylaxis provided to women for primary prevention of PPH. This cluster-design non-inferiority trial has the potential to inform service delivery programs on clinical outcomes, program feasibility, cost and acceptability of two different community models of PPH care using misoprostol.

Feasibility Trial of the Circumferential Abdominal Pelvic Pressure Device (CAPP)

Postpartum Hemorrhage

A group of midwives and obstetric nurses have been trained to use circumferential abdominal pelvic pressure (CAPP) to treat postpartum hemorrhage. As part of the training follow up any use of a CAPP device will be monitored to identify complications.

The Effect of Skin to Skin Contact on Postpartum Hemorrhage, Pain And Breastfeeding

Skin to Skin Contact

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of postpartum hemorrhage, pain and onset of early breastfeeding so that the skin applied at the third stage of birth is in contact with the skin. Material and Method: The study was carried out as a randomized controlled single-blind experimental study. The sample consists of 68 healthy mother and baby pairs. Skin contact with mothers and babies in the experimental group will be applied for 34 minutes immediately after birth. Routine care will be applied to the babies in the control group. Data will be collected using Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale, LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Scale, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, postpartum hemorrhage follow-up bag, pad and oxytocin, ᵦ endorphine analysis results. were collected using Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale, LATCH Breastfeeding Diagnostic Scale, Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale, postpartum bleeding follow-up bag, pad and oxytocin, ᵦ endorphin analysis results.

Implementation of the NPMS Obstetric Hemorrhage Bundle at a Tertiary Center: Utilization of the...

Pregnancy HemorrhagePostpartum Hemorrhage

The National Partnership for Maternal Safety (NPMS) developed an obstetric hemorrhage consensus bundle to provide every United States birthing facility consistent, validated practice guidelines. To facilitate implementation of each element of this bundle at the participants large tertiary center, the investigators utilized the Delphi method to identify deficiencies, perceived barriers to implementation, and multidisciplinary consensus on changes with high feasibility and impact on patient care.

Evaluating the Effects of SMS Text Messaging Support System Among Frontline Health Workers in Ghana...

Maternal DeathNeonatal Death8 more

Introduction Maternal and neonatal mortality continue to be to be prominent public health issues in sub Saharan Africa including Ghana, with slow progress made towards attainment of Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 & 5. Studies have identified poor quality of maternal and child healthcare as a major challenge to the prevention of neonatal and maternal deaths. Effective interventions are required to make significant inroads in these areas. Objective To evaluate the effect of a SMS text messaging intervention to support clinical decision making by frontline health care professionals on neonatal and maternal mortality. Methods We propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial in the Eastern region of Ghana, involving 8 intervention and 8 control districts. The intervention consists of text messaging of standard protocols for maternal and neonatal care to front line health care providers in the region. A total of 17,040 pregnant women who are receiving care (including antenatal, delivery and post-natal) at any of the hospitals in the selected districts in the region will be monitored through monthly aggregate data on outcome measures such as neonatal and maternal deaths from eclampsia, postpartum haemorrhage, puerperal sepsis, birth asphyxia, low birth weight and neonatal sepsis. Cord sepsis will also be included as neonatal sepsis for this study. Also, a quality of care assessment in four sampled districts to measure adherence to the safe motherhood protocol will be conducted. Stata software package.55 and MLwiN software version 2.2456 will be employed in data analysis. Descriptive analysis will be carried out to explore baseline characteristics of study groups while logistic regression will be applied to evaluate the effect of the intervention. A two-tailed statistical significant level of 0.05 will be used. Expected outcome We hypothesize that the intervention will improve both maternal and neonatal service delivery and health outcomes in the intervention areas.

Excellent BRASSS-V Drape™ Versus Indirect Measurement Protocol for Measurement of Postpartum Blood...

Postpartum Hemorrhage

Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the most common causes of maternal mortality and serious maternal morbidity, especially in the developing world. In India, hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal mortality: A study by the Register General in 1993 showed that 23 percent of all maternal deaths in rural areas were caused by hemorrhage (Sibley, 2005). The measurement of postpartum blood loss and identification of postpartum hemorrhage are important measures in efforts to prevent and treat postpartum hemorrhage. In recent years, researchers have employed several different methods to measure blood loss in hospital and community-based birth settings. Although research has demonstrated that these laboratory measures are more accurate then visual estimation techniques, no studies have explicitly documented the systematic differences (if any) among different collection modalities. Moreover, only a few of these studies have correlated measured blood loss with changes in hemoglobin levels experienced between the antepartum and postpartum period. The aim of this study is to compare variations in the measurement of blood loss obtained using two popular measurement methods: the Excellent BRASSS-V Drape™ and a modified version of the blood collection method developed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
