Amniotic Fluid Embolism

Venous thrombosis forms in response to inflammation in the vein wall as a result of venous stasis. Factors contributing to the development of deep vein thrombosis in the postpartum client include increased amounts of certain blood clotting factors, obesity, increased maternal age, high parity, prolonged inactivity, anemia, heart disease, and varicosities. Marie's history does not indicate any risk factors for deep vein thrombosis.

A new born baby died after doctors at a Bristol hospital placed a catheter in her body part in a wrong place.

DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot that develops in the leg, thigh or pelvis. Although it is not common during pregnancy (only 1-2 pregnant women out of 1,000 experience it), pregnant women are 5 times more likely to have DVT than non-pregnant women.

There are 3 (three) architectural orders in a classical building of the ancient Greece, they are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. As suggested by Dietsch and Stern (2002) that Doric is a common style in 7th century B.C; Ionic style is first developed in the Ionian islands around the 6th century B.C or 100 year after Doric style; and then, Corinthian style was originally from the city of Corinth around 5th century B.C., not so popular like Doric.

Amniotic Band Syndrome occurs when the unborn baby (fetus) becomes entangled in fibrous string-like amniotic bands in the womb, restricting blood flow and affecting the baby’s development.

Nowadays, there are many possibilities.  New advances in science may cover almost any complication in pregnancy, without having to choose to kill the mother or the baby.

A pulmonary embolism is a blockage that is located in the lung artery. The cause is more than likely to come from a blood clot in the leg called a deep vein thrombosis. When that happen it breaks loose and travels throughout the blood stream and into the lung which cases the pulmonary embolism. When that happens is causes permanent damage to the lung that was affected, low oxygen levels in your blood and damage to any other organ in your body that isn’t getting the sufficient amount of oxygen it needs to run properly. In some cases if the clot is large enough the pulmonary embolism may cause death. Some people who have these embolisms have no symptoms. Those who do have symptoms would include of having shortness of breath, coughing up blood or chest pain. Symptoms of the blood clot portion would include warmth, pain, swelling, tenderness and redness of the leg it is occurring in. the main goal of treatment is to disperse of the blood clot an prevent new ones from forming. The risk factors for a pulmonary embolism are the same as the risk factors for deep vein thrombosis. These are referred to as

A postpartum hemorrhage is the loss of blood after having a baby. The problem is that the uterus is supposed to continue contracting after birth because the placenta needs to be delivered. Once the placenta is delivered contractions need to continue to constrict the blood vessels to stop the bleeding; and if the blood vessels don’t constrict, blood keeps pouring out causing a possible hemorrhage. The average amount of blood loss during a vaginal birth is approximately 500 milliliters; and for a cesarean section about 1,000 milliliters.

All visible placental anastomoses were coagulated as well as the placental tissue between the coagulated vessels. Pre-Laser ultrasound data including Doppler assessment, surgical data, one-week post-Laser ultrasound data, and postnatal survival at hospital discharge were recorded and analyzed.

Pulmonary embolus is when solid, liquid or air particles collects in the lungs and cause a blockage. This blockage obstruct blood flow to the lungs depriving the tissue in the lungs of adequate oxygen which leads to tissue death if not corrected. Pulmonary embolus is often cause by blood clot from venous thromboembolism (VTE), mostly a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and is frequent among hospitalized patients, with many death few minutes of the onset of symptoms. When a patient has DVT in pelvic or legs, blood clot from the vein might detached and travel to the right side of the settling in the pulmonary artery which then become a site for platelets to collect. The collections of platelets on the blood clot triggers a substance release that

Once you have an epidural catheter injected you can't get out of bed, you will be able to move your legs and push, but the numbing is so bad that you will not be able to stand up and if you need to use the restroom you will be given a bedpan. You also will be less able to push. Because sometimes you get to numb and are unable to feel contractions or push ineffectively. This happens in about 38 percent cases. Having low blood pressure is a big one in this case. Because if the mother's blood pressure drops too low this can slow the baby's heart rate down and complicate the delivery process. Usually giving IV fluids can reverse this issue but in rare circumstances it may lead to a C

pregnancy. This serious complication results in a miscarriage and can cause death of the mother.

A prolapsed umbilical cord can be a life-threatening situation for the baby. The compression of the cord causes oxygen deprivation which can cause death of the fetus. It often occurs when the membranes rupture during delivery. A few emergent interventions that the nurse should take include administering oxygen via nasal cannula, call for help and prepare the mom for an emergency cesarean section. The nurse may also insert a sterile glove inside the vagina to relieve pressure on the umbilical cord and help restore blood flow to the fetus. Possible complications that the mother may experience include birth canal trauma if forceps are used rapidly during vaginal birth and blood loss or infection during a cesarean birth. Possible complications

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is an uncommon condition occurring in about 1/600 to 1/2000 pregnancies

The sign and symptoms of PPH include; the apparent excessive bleeding, hematocrit-reduction of the number of red blood cells, reduced blood pressure, development of symptoms of shock and anaemia, and severe pain and swelling of tissues and muscles of the vagina, vulva, pelvic and perineum (Simpson & Creehan, 2008). Besides, Ricci & Kyle (2009) avow that there are different factors that place a mother at risk for PPH, and they comprise; prolonged first, second or third stage of labour, previous history of PPH, foetal macrosomia, uterine infection, arrest of descent and multiple gestation. Other risk factors may include; mediolateral episiotomy, coagulation abnormalities, maternal hypertension, maternal exhaustion, malnutrition or anaemia, preeclampsia, precipitous birth, polyhydramnios and previous placenta previa (Ricci & Kyle, 2009).
