Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains a significant contributor to maternal morbility and mortality and accounts for 31% of maternal death in Vietnam. The most common cause of PPH is uterine atony. Recently, uterine tamponade using intrauterine condom appears to be an effective tool in the management of intractable PPH. Objectives: To evaluate the success of condom as a tamponade to arrest intractable PPH due to uterine atony in patients not responding to medical management. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a cross-sectional and descriptive, included 32 patients who underwent condom balloon tamponade at Kontum Provincial Hospital from 1/2012 to 8/2016. Results: 32 women (mean age 25.71 ± 6.45 years range, 16 - 39) underwent condom balloon tamponade for PPH controls. 29 patients (90.62%) successfully responded the tamponade therapy by the use of condom catheter. Three patients (9.37%) required hysterectomy. Conclusions: Condom catheter balloon effectively controls the intractable PPH due to uterine atony.

Background: In low-resource countries, Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality. The intrauterine balloon tamponade was recently incorporated into the strategy to manage uterine atony. There are many types of tamponades. Among them, the condom catheter seems to be an efficient and economic intervention for the treatment of PPH in low-resource countries. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the condom catheter balloon in treating postpartum hemorrhage refractory to medical treatment.Methods: The retrospective analysis of 22 cases of PPH, treated with a condom catheter as a conservative therapeutic option, was done in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India.Results: The condom catheter was successful in controlling PPH in 90.9% cases. It was effective in 94.44% women with uterine atony, who did not respond to uterotonic drugs. It was also effective in one case of placental implantation site bleeding and two cases of deranged coagulation function. In 2 cases it failed to control PPH and peripartum hysterectomy was done. The volume of saline solution used to fill the balloon was from 150 -350 ml and the time for which the balloon remained inflated was 36-48 hours. No case of febrile morbidity and wound sepsis was noted. There was no maternal death.Conclusions: Its ease of use and high effectiveness make condom catheter a useful approach for the conservative management of PPH. This device reduces bleeding, shortens the hospital stay and avoids the need for more aggressive procedures.

BackgroundThere is no consensus on the effects that low birth weight, premature birth and intrauterine growth have on later depression.AimsTo review systematically the evidence on the relationship of low birth weight, smallness for gestational age (SGA) and premature birth with adult depression.MethodWe searched the literature for original studies assessing the effect of low birth weight, premature birth and SGA on adult depression. Separate meta-analyses were carried out for each exposure using random and fixed effects models. We evaluated the contribution of methodological covariates to heterogeneity using meta-regression.ResultsWe identified 14 studies evaluating low birth weight, 9 premature birth and 4 SGA. Low birth weight increased the odds of depression (OR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.21–1.60). Premature birth and SGA were not associated with depression, but publication bias might have underestimated the effect of the former and only four studies evaluated SGA.ConclusionsLow birth weight was associated with depression. Future studies evaluating premature birth and SGA are needed.

Postpartum hemorrhage is bleeding that occurs after the birth of the baby, placenta, and 2 hours after the placenta is born. One of the causes is anemia. Research in 2015, 60% of 100 mothers giving birth at RSIA Kirana Taman Sidoarjo experienced postpartum hemorrhage. The aim of the study was to determine the relationship of anemia in pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. The study design used an analytical survey with a retrospective method. The population of 206 maternity mothers was taken with simple random sampling technique as many as 136 samples in August 2017. Data were analyzed by Chi Square statistical test with 0.05. The results showed that postpartum hemorrhage was more experienced by mothers with anemia (66.7%) than  those without anemia (26.2%). While those who did not experience postpartum hemorrhage were more experienced by mothers who were not anemic (73.8%) than those who were anemic (33.3%). Chi square test results  (p=0.000  <0.05),  which means there is a relationship  of anemia in pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. Conclusions of the study were the relationship of anemia in pregnancy with the  incidence  of postpartum hemorrhage in labor mothers. It is expected that midwives and doctors conduct early detection of anemia so that appropriate care can be carried out.

Introduction: Based on the Health Profile of East Java Province it was noted that the maternal mortality rate is still high, with the highest cause of maternal death being preeclampsia/eclampsia which is 28.92%, and hemorrhage by 26.28%. Mothers with anemia have a higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage. This is caused by the lack of oxygen and nutrients in the uterine organs, resulting in a decrease in myometrium muscle contraction that causes hemorrhage. Objective: To determine the relationship between anemia in pregnancy and postpartum hemorrhage in Jombang Regional Hospital 2016-2019. Method: Researchers use analytic research with a case-control approach. The study population of women who experienced hemorrhage at Jombang Regional Hospital in 2016-2019 (as a case group population). And women who did not experience hemorrhage at Jombang Regional Hospital in 2016-2019 (as a control group population). The sample of each study was 36 respondents for the case and control groups with a non-probability sampling technique consecutive sampling, and a matching process was carried out. Results: The significance value in the Mann Whitney test was 0.000 (p<0.05), which means that H0 was rejected, there was a significant relationship between anemia in pregnancy and postpartum hemorrhage in Jombang Regional Hospital. As well as the strength of the relationship between anemia and postpartum hemorrhage which was calculated using the Contingency Coefficient test. shows a figure of 0.582, which shows a positive correlation with sufficient strength correlation. Conclusion: Based on the results of research that has been done shows that there is a relationship between anemia in pregnancy with postpartum hemorrhage in Jombang Regional Hospital 2016-2019.

Background: Knowledge of gestational age (GA) is important because it affects clinical management in many ways. Ultrasonography has provided a safe and noninvasive means of dating a pregnancy. The purpose of the present study is to assess the relationship of placental thickness with gestational age and to compare it with other sonographic parameters used to estimate gestational age. Subjects and Methods: The study included 242 normal pregnant women who knew their last menstrual period (LMP). After taking consent, all the women underwent an ultrasound examination. During the scan, besides measuring routine biometric parameters, Placental thickness at the cord insertion was also measured. A retrospective study was designated to test the hypothesis that placental thickness in an age dependant variable and hence can predict gestational age. In the end, the predicted gestational age by placental thickness was compared with gestational age as determined by other sonographic parameters. Results: Placental thickness showed a linear progression in relation to the menstrual age. The correlation coefficient was found to be 0.86(p<0.001). The regression equation was formulated by regressing gestational age on the measured placental thickness. The correlation coefficient between GA-LMP and GA-USG was 0.92 as compared to 0.86 between GA-LMP and GA-PT. The standard error for other USG parameters was +2.32 compared to +2.96 for placental thickness. Conclusion: Placental thickness being a fusion of menstrual age, can be used to predict the gestational age by using the regression formula. Gestational age calculated by other USG parameters is closer to menstrual age as compared to that by placental thickness. The prediction interval was slightly more when the placental thickness was used instead of other USG parameters. Placental thickness is a good alternative parameter for predicting gestational age in the second and third trimester.

Background: Fetal age actually begins at conception and an equivalent term is conceptional age. Uncertain gestational age (GA) has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes independent of maternal characteristics. The objective was to evaluate the accuracy of fetal foot length (FFL) in estimation of gestational age.Methods: It was a cross sectional study. Trans abdominal ultrasound on 150 pregnant women with normal singleton pregnancies between 16 to 40 weeks was done to measure FFL. The relationship between GA and FFL was analysed by simple linear regression.Results: A linear relationship was demonstrated between FFL and GA. (GA (in weeks)=7.490+0.393×FFL (in mm)) with significant correlation (r=0.985, p<0.001).Conclusions: Ultrasonographic measurement of FFL is a reliable indicator of gestational age and can be a useful alternative to estimate GA when other routine biometric parameters are not conclusive.
