Measuring Post-Partum Hemorrhage In Low-Resource Settings: The Diagnostic Validity Of Weighted Blood Loss Versus Quantitative Changes In Hemoglobin.
BACKGROUND Accurate estimation of blood loss is central to prompt diagnosis and management of post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), which remains a leading cause of maternal mortality in low-resource countries. In such settings, blood loss is often estimated visually and subjectively by attending health workers, due to inconsistent availability of laboratory infrastructure. We evaluated the diagnostic ...
متن کاملTreatment of post-partum haemorrhage with sublingual misoprostol versus oxytocin in women not exposed to oxytocin during labour: a double-blind, randomised, non-inferiority trial.
BACKGROUND Oxytocin, the standard of care for treatment of post-partum haemorrhage, is not available in all settings because of refrigeration requirements and the need for intravenous administration. Misoprostol, an effective uterotonic agent with several advantages for resource-poor settings, has been investigated as an alternative. This trial established whether sublingual misoprostol was sim...
متن کاملA Study on the Effect of Education by Using Simulation on Post partum Visual Blood Loss Estimation
Background: Post partum hemorrhage is one of the common causes in maternal morbidity and mortality and its outcome depends on accurate estimation of blood loss which needs acquiring skills. In this study, we decided to evaluate the effect of education on visual blood volume estimation by using simulation. Method: This prospective study was done in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences and 40 o...
متن کاملMaternal mortality: one death every 7 min.
99% of all deaths in childbirth are in the least developed countries. Annually, 45 million women deliver without a skilled birth attendant, a situation in which the greatest number of maternal deaths occur. In many low-resource settings, having enough skilled birth attendants remains a distant goal. The commonest single cause of maternal death is from post-partum haemorrhage, from which one wom...
متن کاملHow valid is the tallquist method in screening pregnant women with anemia in poor rural settings of southwestern Nigeria?
Background: Diagnosis of anemia is challenging in resource-poor settings due to inadequate laboratory resources. This study assessed the validity of the Tallquist haemoglobinometer in assessing anemia among pregnant women in Osogbo, Southwestern Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross - sectional study, in which 200 pregnant women of reproductive age were selected using multist...
