A 39-year-old primigravida was admitted to the hospital in the 33rd week of pregnancy due to fetal retardation and placental insufficiency, malnutrition, decreased cutaneous turgor, and cardiotocographic (CTG) fetal distress. Body weight had increased subnormally through the 29th week of gestation
We present a case of a primiparous patient at 35 weeks' gestation who had had laparoscopic gastric banding, and who presented to labor and delivery with protracted vomiting followed by an acute abdomen and fetal distress. An emergency surgery revealed acute gastric ulcer perforation. This
Colonic atresia (CA) is an unusual cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction where a section of the colon has failed to form, leading to blockage or absence. A premature baby was delivered at 32 weeks of gestation via caesarian section following fetal distress. She was grossly oedematous and
Spontaneous rupture of a splenic artery aneurysm in the third trimester of pregnancy is a catastrophic event associated with a very high fetal and maternal mortality rate. Review of the literature reveals nine reported cases of combined maternal and fetus survival. None were diagnosed prior to
OBJECTIVE
This case report describes the use of a Laryngeal Mask Airway in a morbidly obese parturient with the H.E.L.L.P. syndrome. An urgent Caesarean section was required because of vaginal bleeding and fetal distress.
METHODS
The patient was a 32 year old G3, T1, P1, L1 who presented with
A primigravid woman at 35 weeks' gestation was admitted with abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. Forceful contractions and signs of fetal distress suggested abruptio placentae. During caesarean section, seropurulent exudate and a perforated appendix were found; an appendectomy was performed. A
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) during pregnancy carries significant risk of intrauterine fetal demise, but little is known about its postnatal sequelae in surviving neonates. We report here the case of an infant who was born to a mother with White's class C diabetes mellitus during an episode of DKA.
Duodenal atresia can be fatal unless promptly diagnosed and treated surgically. Death occurs in the newborn secondary to emesis, aspiration, and electrolyte imbalance. Serial ultrasound scans were obtained for 2 patients, but duodenal atresia was not detected until 29 and 32 weeks' gestation,
OBJECTIVE
To compare the incidence of feeding problems at the first feed between neonates born with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) and those born without MSAF.
METHODS
A prospective observational study conducted over a one-year period.
METHODS
A level 2 neonatal unit.
METHODS
A total of 2828
A study was performed to evaluate the effects of three regimens of intrapartum analgesia upon fetal heart rate characteristics. Either meperidine 50 mg (M50), meperidine 50 mg plus propiomazine 20 mg (M50/P20), or meperidine 25 mg plus propiomazine 10 mg (M25/P10) was given intravenously for
OBJECTIVE
To provide a framework for the clinical presentation, evolution, treatment, and outcome of the unusual association between primary adrenal insufficiency (AI) during pregnancy and life-threatening complications for the mother and fetus.
METHODS
Case reports.
METHODS
Pregnant women with AI
A comparative study of labor induction has been performed on 471 consecutive patients. Primary amniotomy was performed in 227 cases, and 103 of these patients were stimulated, 57 patients with PGE2 tablets and 46 with oxytocin. In the remaining 124 cases labor was induced within 4 hours without
A randomized comparative study of 387 consecutive patients admitted for induction of labor was carried out using two orally administered oxytocics (prostaglandin E2 tablets (Prostin) or Demoxytocin resoriblets for buccal administration (Sandopart)), the results of which are reported here.
Prostaglandin E (PGE2) was administered orally for induction of labor to 100 patients. Active labor and progression occurred in 92 per cent of these cases. The dosage regimen used was 0.5 to 1.5 mg. hourly. Amniotomy was performed in most cases once active labor and progression were noted. There
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was given to 60 patients to induce labor at term. Two dosage schedules were used: 30 patients were given 0.5 mg hourly and 30 patients were given 1.0 mg hourly. Membranes were ruptured when active labor had occurred. The Bishop score was used for inducibility quotient. In
