Choice of Anaesthetic Technique for Delivery of Pregnancy Complicated by Placenta Previa in Ibadan
نویسنده
چکیده
Placenta previa is a complication of pregnancy in which the placenta lies in the lower part of the uterus or partially or completely covers the cervix. This leads to painless vaginal bleeding and in some leading to haemorrhage [1]. The haemorrhage may be major enough to threaten the life of the mother and the fetus making the delivery imminent either on elective or emergency basis [1]. Controversy exists on the best choice of anaesthetic technique for Caesarean section for delivery complicated by placenta previa [2]. The study aimed at reviewing the factors influencing the choice of anaesthetic technique for pregnancy complicated by placenta previa in our centre as well as the maternal and fetal outcome.

Effect of Primary Elective Cesarean Delivery on Placenta Accreta: A Case-Control Study
Background Cesarean section (CS) is an independent risk factor for placenta accreta. Some researchers think that the timing of primary cesarean delivery is associated with placenta accreta in subsequent pregnancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of placenta accreta following primary CS without labor, also called primary elective CS, in a pregnancy complicated with placenta p...

متن کاملDiagnosis of placenta previa during the third trimester: role of transperineal sonography.
Placenta previa can be difficult to diagnose with transabdominal sonography during the third trimester of pregnancy, because of difficulties in imaging the cervix late in pregnancy. Although transperineal sonography offers an additional view of the cervix, its value in the diagnosis of placenta previa has not been studied. Accordingly, we performed transperineal sonography on 164 patients who h...
متن کاملA Case Report and Literature Review of Midtrimester Termination of Pregnancy Complicated by Placenta Previa and Placenta Accreta
Objective Concurrent placenta previa and placenta accreta increase the risk of massive obstetric hemorrhage. Despite extensive research on the management of placenta previa (including placenta accreta, increta, and percreta), the number and quality of previous studies are limited. We present a case of placenta accreta requiring an induced second-trimester abortion because of premature rupture o...

BACKGROUND We examined the clinical significance of pregnancies complicated by velamentous cord insertion (VCI) associated with other umbilical cord/placental abnormalities. METHODS Data were collected from 168 deliveries complicated by VCI and from 16,797 unaffected controls. All placentae were screened identically by trained staff.
