Pushing and Manual Perineal Protection Techniques

Perineal TearEpisiotomy Extended by Laceration1 more

Perineal trauma during vaginal delivery is very common, especially in countries with a high prevalence of episiotomy. Perineal traumas can range from tears limited to the skin, subcutaneous and vaginal mucosa to severe tears involving the anal sphincter and rectal mucosa. Perineal trauma is associated with short-term morbidities such as bleeding, infection, pain, edema. Besides, it may cause long-term morbidities such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, dyspareunia, a decrease in quality of life, a need for surgery, and psychosocial problems. Moreover, it is associated with an increase in national healthcare costs and malpractice cases. For these reasons, some measures to reduce the frequency of perineal trauma have been discussed for many years. Pushing techniques applied in the second stage of labor and manual perineum protection techniques applied during fetal expulsion are among these. Current data are insufficient to make definitive recommendations. In this study, it was aimed to compare different pushing and perineal protection techniques in the second stage of labor.

Platelet Count Trends in Pre-eclamptic Parturients

Obstetric Labor ComplicationsPreeclampsia1 more

Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100,000/mL) occurs in approximately 15% of women with preeclampsia. Neuraxial analgesia is contraindicated in parturients with a coagulopathy; therefore, the platelet count(PC) is routinely checked prior to the initiation of neuraxial analgesia in women with preeclampsia/eclampsia. Catheter removal is also contraindicated in the presence of a coagulopathy. Some women have an acceptable PC at the initiation of neuraxial analgesia, but may become significantly more thrombocytopenic during labor and delivery. In a study of severely preeclamptic parturients, some with HELLP (H=hemolysis of red blood cells, EL=elevated liver enzymes, LP=low platelet count) syndrome, the admission PC correlated with the PC nadir. However, the natural progression of the PC has not been studied in women with mild preeclampsia. We hypothesize that women with mild preeclampsia or severe preeclampsia without HELLP syndrome, and whose admission PC is greater than 150,000/mL, will have a stable PC during the course of labor and delivery and do not require another PC check prior to initiation of neuraxial analgesia or removal of the epidural catheter. The purpose of this study is to determine the positive predictive value of an initial PC greater than 150,000/mL for maintaining a PC greater than 80,000/mL during labor and delivery.

Plethysmography Variability Index Monitoring for Parturients With Antepartum Hemorrhage

Antepartum Hemorrhage

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of continuous noninvasive intraoperative plethesmography variability index in conjunction with Hemoglobin levels monitoring using Masimo Radical-7™ Pulse CO-Oximeter during elective cesarean sections in patients with antepartum and intrapartum hemorrhage as a guide for fluid and blood transfusion practice .

Study of the Effect of Eicosanoids on Contractile Activity of Pregnant Human Myometrium in Pathological...

Obstetric Labor ComplicationsProlonged Pregnancy

Recent studies show that EET and 20-HETE have important biological effects, particularly in the vascular system. The investigators studied the effect of eicosanoids on the gravid rat uterus. The results suggest that 20-HETE had an tocolytics effect on gravid uterus. In the previous study, we demonstrated that the enzymes of the pathway of EET were present in human uterine tissues. Moreover, the addition of an inhibitor of degradation of EET had an tocolytic effect on the human myometrium, as the exogenous addition of 8.9, 14,15-EET and 20-HETE. Objectives: Primary objective: To compare the balance of different metabolic pathways of arachidonic acid (AA) of the pregnant human myometrium in pathological situations (preterm labor, uterine atony, prolonged pregnancy). Specific objectives: i) To study the effect of derived from the AA on in vitro contractile activity of normal and pathological uterine tissues, and ii) detect and quantify the different sub-products of metabolism of AA in the uterine tissues (myometrium, fetal membranes and placenta). The management of uterine contraction is in the heart of modern obstetrics year, yet the progress made in other specialties, based on the study of smooth muscle have not yet been transposed in obstetrics. A better understanding of systems for regulating the contraction is important in terms of 1) new physiological knowledge, but it could also be the source of 2) modification of strategies to take care of premature delivery (new Tocolytic), or 3) improving the efficiency of uterine muscle during delivery or 4) for treatment of patients with prolonged pregnancy.

Obstetric Labor ComplicationsCesarean Section

This study is an evaluation of a Quality Improvement (QI) project addressing delivery of the impacted fetal head being conducted at Regions Hospital. This study aims to determine the morbidity of second stage cesarean deliveries before and after implementation of simulation protocols that address delivery of the impacted fetal head for Ob/gyn surgeons, nursing staff, and surgical technicians at Regions Hospital.
