Uterine Haemorrhage

SummaryIn the introduction it is stressed that in cases with normal blood coagulation and even in cases with a limited decrease of some of the coagulation factors, the contraction of the uterus after the passage of the placenta closes the vessel endings, thereby providing the conditions necessary for haemostasis through the clotting of the blood. In contrast to this, fibrinolytic uterine bleeding is a condition in which the clotting factor and clot are consumed despite adequate postpartum contraction of the uterus.The literature on obstetrical coagulopathies is briefly summarized.The incongruence in the clotting power of blood samples drawn simultaneously from a cubital vein and from the uterus in cases of severe uterine haemorrhage is pointed out.With the aid of a plasma-dilution technique (Schneider) for the estimation of fibrinogen and fibrinolysis it was shown that in 6 out of 8 investigated cases of premature separation of the placenta, in 4 out of 5 observed cases of longstanding intrauterine foetal death and in 2 cases of pitocin drip induced labor considerable fibrinolytic activity was present in the blood from the uterus, whereas only slight activity if any, could be observed in blood samples drawn simultaneously from a cubital vein. These observations are found to be in conformity with the finding of considerable amounts of fibrinolytic activators in myométrial, placental and decidual tissue reported by other authors.Figures for obstetrical cases (19,808 deliveries) and uterine haemorrhage during the 5-year period 1955—1959 at the 1st Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, are presented. The main principles of obstetrical management at this hospital are outlined, with special reference to uterine coagulopathic haemorrhage.

The incidence of breech presentation is approximately 3,97%. Breech presentation is considered as being “borderline eutocic” and it requires carefully monitoring both the foetus and the mother. The aim of the current paper is to evaluate the preffered method of delivery in case of breech presentation. The paper presents a retrospective study performed in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Departments of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital “Sf. Apostol Andrei” in Constanta, during a period of 5 years (2010-2014). The methods of birth were analyzed for a lot of 1104 patients with breech presentation with ages ranging between 16 and 44 years old. The total number of patients who gave birth through vaginal delivery was of 139 patients, amounting to 12.59% of the total population sample. The number of patients that gave birth through C-section was 965, which amounts to 87.4% of the total population sample. Birth through C-section is preferred by both obstetricians and patients alike, due to the fact that vaginal delivery is associated with a higher foetal risk in breech presentation.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the reading habits levels and making the correct decision styles of basketball, handball, volleyball, and football coaches and referees in terms of some variables, the research was carried out with the general survey model, one of the quantitative research designs, the active coaches and referees of basketball, football, volleyball, and handball in İzmir, Denizli and Uşak provinces constituted the universe of the study, the sample of the study, on the other hand, consisted of 98 participants, 52 of whom were coaches and 46 were referees, determined by the simple random sampling method, one sample t-test at a 0.05 significance level was conducted to determine whether the sample represented the universe equally and homogeneously. Melbourne decision making scale I-II, and book reading habits scale were used to collect data in the study. Since the data are suitable for normal distribution, the t-test in comparing the pairwise means; parametric tests such as one-way ANOVA tests were used at 0.05 significance level in comparing the mean scores of more than two groups. In terms of education levels, it has been observed that female coaches and referees studying at faculties of sports sciences have higher levels of reading habit, love of reading, and being influenced by books. In addition, it was determined that individuals who trust and respect the decisions of their families have higher reading habits and correct decision-making styles and do not panic during the decision-making process.
