ASSESSMENT OF BLOOD LOSS
AFTER DELIVERY
• Difficult
• Mostly Visual estimation (So,
Subjective & Inaccurate)
• Underestimation is likely
• Clinical picture -Misleading
• Our Mothers-Malnourished, Anaemic,
Small built, Less blood volume
SYMPTOMS & SIGNS

(% B Vol) ( mm of Hg)
10-15 Normal postural hypotension
15-30 slight fall ↑PR, thirst, weakness
30-40 60-80 pallor,oliguria,
confusion
40+ 40-60 anuria, air hunger,
coma, death
• Mental response
• Pulse rate
• Systolic BP
• Respiratory rate
• Temperature
Modified Early Warning Scoring
System
(MEWS)
The senior nurse would call the doctor for
three or more of the
following criteria:
• Respiratory rate of ≥25 or <10 breaths per minut
• Arterial systolic blood pressure of <90mmHg.
• Heart rate of ≥110 or <55 beats per minute.
• Not fully alert and orientated.
• Oxygen saturation of <90 per cent.
• Urine output over the last four hours of <100ml.
• Respiratory rate ≥35 breaths per minute or a hea
rate ≥140 beats per minute.
Vigilance is great, but you have
to remember that studies show
the half-life of vigilance is
about 15 minutes.

DVT: Key Facts
• 40%
of asymptomatic patients with
DVT have radiographically
documented pulmonary embolism
Traditional interpretation
Score >6.0 - High
Score 2.0 to 6.0 - Moderate
Score <2.0 - Low
Alternate interpretation
Score > 4 - PE likely. Consider diagnostic imaging.
Score 4 or less - PE unlikely. Consider D-dimer to rule out PE.
Diagnosis of Pulmonary
Embolism
• D-dimer (0-300 ng/ml as normal)
• Chest X-ray
• ECG
• Arterial blood gas
• Ventilation-perfusion scintography
• Angiography
• Thoracic enhanced CT (64 slices MDCT)
• Extremity Doppler
Chest X-Ray Findings in
PE:
• Hampton’s Hump:
pleural based density at CPJ
• Westermark’s Sign:
peripheral aligemia with
proximal vessel dilatation
• Most common finding is
normal X-Ray (30%)!
ECG Changes in PE:
• S1 Q3 T3 classic signs
-large S wave in lead I
-a large Q wave in lead III and
-an inverted T wave in lead III
• Anticoagulation is mainstay of
pharmacotherapy
“Anaphylactoid syndrome of

Amniotic Fluid Embolism
AFE is an - unpredictable
- unpreventable and
-an untreatable
(for the most part)
obstetric emergency
Amniotic Fluid Embolism
of Wales
She died, presumably from an
undetected post-partum haemorrhage
Condemnation and grief Croft
in medical history as
“the triple obstetrical tragedy”.
Pathophysiology- Animal
Data:
• Amniotic fluid thought to be composed of some
abnormal factor or mediator
• Factor is heat stable
• Factor is soluble?
• Possible relationship with anaphylactoid
phenomenon
• Abnormal components such as meconium may play
a role
• Normal labor!!??
(Clark, 1997)
Amniotic Fluid
Embolism
Mechanis m
Clinical presentation
The classic clinical presentation of
the syndrome has been described
by five signs that often occur in
the following sequence:
(1) Respiratory distress
(2) Cyanosis
(3) Cardiovascular collapse
cardiogenic shock
(4) Hemorrhage
(5) Seizure & Coma.
Diagnosis
The presence of squamous cells in the pulmonary
arterial blood obtained from a Swan-Ganz catheter
once considered pathognomonic for AFE is
neither sensitive nor specific
• Pulmonary Embolism
• Venous Air Embolism
• Myocardial Infarction
• Eclampsia
• Anaphylaxis
• Local Anesthetic Toxicity
Management of AFE
IMMEDIATE MEASURES :
- Set up IV Infusion,
-O2 administration.
- Airway control endotracheal
intubation
maximal ventilation and
oxygenation.
Management of AFE
Treat hypotension, increase the
circulating volume and cardiac output
with crystalloids.
After correction of hypotension, restrict
fluid therapy to maintenance levels since
ARDS follows in up to 40% to 70% of
cases.
Steroids may be indicated
(recommended but no evidence as to
their value)
Dopamine infusion if patient remains
hypotensive (myocardial support).
Other investigators have used
vasopressor therapy such as ephedrine
or levarterenol with success (reduced

Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary

Care
An international evidence and science-based consensus:
What’s new or different?
Anticipatory treatment of cardiac arrest
Emphasis on Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs)
Competent bag-mask ventilation - may be better than
intubation attempts
Use of amiodarone 300 mg IV (in place of lidocaine*)
Vasopressin 40 mg x 1 (alternative to repeated doses
epinephrine 1 mg IV every 3-5 min*)
Family presence during resuscitation
*Insufficient evidence to support efficacy
-Oxygenation improved
