uterine inertia/obesity

The prevalence of morbid obesity has been grown at a very heart rate in developed countries during the last decades. Over-weight pregnant women make up a group of risk of such serious complications as gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, increased frequency of Cesarean

BACKGROUND Use of the lowest effective dose of oxytocin may reduce side effects. This study was designed to determine the effective dose (ED)(90) of oxytocin infusion for an elective Cesarean delivery (CD) to prevent uterine atony. METHODS The participants were ASA I and II, non-obese, non-labouring

Obese women are at increased risk for multiple labor abnormalities, including postdates pregnancy, failed induction of labor, prolonged labor, cesarean delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Prolonged labor among obese women is confined to the first stage of labor. In the setting of reassuring

In a primipara, 28 years of age and with a BMI of 44 kg/m2, a Zavanelli manoeuvre was performed. Due to uterine atony she had to undergo a hysterectomy. A multipara, 39 years of age and with a BMI of 66 kg/m2, experienced that her weight exceeded the limits of the beds and that local anaesthesia was

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between obesity (body mass index [BMI] 30 or higher) and dilation and evacuation (D&E) complications. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women who underwent D&E abortion from February 2009 to April 2013 at a hospital-based abortion practice in

OBJECTIVE Prolonged exposure to oxytocin during augmentation of labour is associated with uterine atony and an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) due to oxytocin receptor desensitization. Cessation of oxytocin infusion during labour may facilitate recovery of oxytocin receptor function,

OBJECTIVE To review the impact of the changes that have occurred in the standard of care in obstetrics and in the trend of cesarean delivery rates in recent times and factors associated with peripartum hysterectomy procedure. METHODS A retrospective analysis of all cases of peripartum hysterectomies

To elucidate the specific courses of the course of pregnancy and labor in patients with obesity and inadequate body mass. 280 women (pregnant females aged 17-38) clinically followed up for pregnancy and labor. The nutritional status was estimated by the Quetle index (QI). Complications of pregnancy

Most cases of postpartum haemorrhage are caused by uterine atony, maternal soft-tissue trauma, retained placenta or its parts, and obstetric coagulopathy. The factors most significantly associated with haemorrhage include advanced maternal age, prolonged labour, pre-eclampsia, obesity of mother,
