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 minute.
• 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 heart 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.

Management of Major Obstetric
Haemorrhage
Recombinant factor VIIa
(rFVIIa)
1.
rFVIIa works at the site of
vascular injury, where
tissue factor (TF) is
expressed and activated
platelets aggregate.
rFVIIa
The fibrin clots formed in
the presence of of a high
thrombin concentration
have a different architecture
that is stronger and more
resistant to degradation by
fibrinolytic enzymes.
Fibrin
Fibrinogen
Thrombin
Va
rFVIIa
In pharmacological doses
rFVIIa binds directly to
the activated platelet
surface.
Xa
X
Prothrombin
Here it enhances localized
thrombin generation and
the formation of a stable
fibrin-based clot.
Recombinant factor VIIa
• It is not licensed for use in obstetric haemorrhage and
there have been no randomised contolled trials for its
use in this situation
• The dose is approximately 90μg/kg.
• Its efficiacy is dependent on
-normothermia,
-non-acidotic milieu
-adequate levels of fibrinogen (> 1.0-1.5gr)
-platelets (> 50,000)
• A relatively early itervention to control PPH
appears to be crucial for the success of rVIIa
Management of Major Obstetric
Haemorrhage - rFVIIa
1. rFVIIa will not replace ligatures in controlling bleeding
from damaged or torn vessels.
2. To be effective there must be adequate circulation
delivering platelets and fibrinogen to the site of
bleeding.
3. You should make your best efforts to correct acidosis
and hypothermia.

Treatment of PPH: Hysterectomy

A conservative option should be quickly efficacious
 The addition of successive conservative approaches is
hazardous
- Risk of delaying radical treatment
Early Decision
 Placenta accreta is a frequent cause of failure of
conservative Treatments
 Hysterectomy may be a life-saving procedure in case of
- Failure of conservative approach
- Uterine rupture
- Placenta accreta
Selective Angiographic Embolization
(SAE)
Strategically difficult in many
centers
Pulmonary
Embolism
Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism, along with amniotic fluid
embolism, accounts for the leading cause of maternal
mortality in the United States
(Koonin, et al; MMWR)
DVT: Key Facts
•
40% of asymptomatic patients with DVT have
radiographically documented pulmonary embolism
• DVT of pelvic venous system is often an asymptomatic
condition until clinical pulmonary embolism develops
• Untreated pulmonary embolism mortality is up to
30%. Treated mortality is 3%
(Moser et al, 1994; Cunningham et al, 1997; Toglia & Weg, 1996)

Treatment- Pulmonary
Embolism in Pregnancy
• Anticoagulation is mainstay of
pharmacotherapy
• Supportive care should not be
forgotten during the rush to diagnose
and treat
Venous Air Embolism
 During
the repair of hysterotomy wound
 Exteriorization of the uterus and traction on
the wound edges increases the risk
 Trendelenburg position to be avoided
 Abdominal and Uterine incision always below
heart
 CVP, High Uterine wound

Amniotic Fluid
Embolism
“Anaphylactoid syndrome of
pregnancy"
Amniotic Fluid Embolism
AFE is an
- unpredictable
- unpreventable and
-an untreatable
(for the most part)
obstetric emergency
Amniotic Fluid Embolism
• Frequency- 1/15,000 - 1/20,000
Pregnancies
• Catastrophic Consequences
• Multisystem Collapse
• Mortality Quoted as High as 80%
(Probably Lower Now)
First Victim of AFE
1817 an obstetrician named
Sir Richard Croft
 The patient was Princess Charlotte
of Wales
 She died, presumably from an
undetected post-partum haemorrhage
 Condemnation and grief Croft
experienced led him to
commit suicide
 Charlotte's pregnancy is known
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
(Hankins, 1995; Hankins, et al, 1993; Clark, 1995)
Situations Related or NOT
Related to AFE:
• Uterine Hyperstimulation- AFE registry suggests
that hyperstimulation is EFFECT rather than
cause of AFE
• Oxytocin use- NOT RELATED
• Drug Allergy and/or Atopy- RELATED, with
41% of patients in AFE registry with allergies
• Normal labor!!??
(Clark, 1997)
Amniotic Fluid Embolism
Mechanism
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

The monoclonal antibody TKAH-2 may eventually
prove more useful in the rapid diagnosis of AFE.

Management of AFE
RECOGNITION
FIRST STEP
IMMEDIATE MEASURES :
- Set up IV Infusion,
-O2 administration.
- Airway control  endotracheal intubation
maximal ventilation and oxygenation.
 LABS : CBC,ABG,PT,PTT,fibrinogen,FDP.

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 systemic
vascular resistance)
 Treat Coagulopathy

RESUSITATION
OF
CARDIAC ARREST
Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation in Pregnancy
 If you think that this will never happen to you,
you are wrong!
 Being an Obstetrics provider is no excuse not to be
CPR literate.
 Non-Obstetrics providers may know more than you
do about CPR, but they may know little or nothing
about pregnancy, fetal evaluation, etc.
Possible Outcomes
• Mother and babies die or brain-damaged
• Mother and babies intact
• Mother intact, babies die or impaired
• Mother brain damaged, babies intact
• Family takes legal action against hospital,
anesthesiologist, obstetrician
Cardiac Arrest in Pregnancy
What happens next depends on:

Maternal diagnosis

Fetal condition and maturity

How rapidly and appropriately medical and
nursing personnel respond

Resources available in hospital
Cardiac Arrest in Pregnancy:
Complicated by Physiologic
Changes

Rapid development of hypoxia,
hypercapnia, acidosis

Risk of pulmonary aspiration

Difficult intubation

AORTO-CAVAL COMPRESSION by
pregnant uterus when mother supine

Changes greater in multiple pregnancy,
obesity
Cardiac Arrest in Pregnancy:
Special Problems
•
Cardiac output during closed chest massage
in CPR is only ~ 30% normal
•
Cardiac output in the supine pregnant
woman is decreased 30-50% due to
aortocaval compression
•
Combined effect of above: There may be
NO cardiac output!
MRI Scan
• NORMAL
•
Aortocaval Compression- occurs
during second 1/2 of pregnancy
Cardiff Resusitation Wedge
Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac 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
American Heart Association, 2000
Why is Urgent Delivery
Indicated?

Maternal brain damage may start at ~ 4-6 min

What is good for mother is usually good for baby

Most intact newborns delivered within 5 min

Closed chest massage is less effective with time

CPR may be totally ineffective before delivery:
Many reports of mother “coming back to life”
after delivery
Advantages of Early
Delivery

Aortocaval compression relieved:
Venous return , Cardiac output 

Ventilation improved:
-Functional Residual Capacity 
-Oxygenation improved

Oxygen consumption , CO2 production 

Improved maternal and newborn survival
The Cesarean Delivery
Decision - Not an Easy One!
• Has 3-4 min passed since cardiac arrest?
• Has the mother responded to
resuscitation?
• Was resuscitation optimal - can it be
improved?
“Perimortem” Cesarean
Section

Start by 4 minutes, deliver by 5
minutes (From the time of Arrest)

Perform operation in patient’s room:
Can move to OT after delivery

Don’t worry about sterility

Vertical abdominal incision quickest

Prepare for uterine hypotonia and
bleeding
Optimal Outcome
Immediate CPR 
ACLS
IS THIS REALISTIC
OUTSIDE THE OR?
Early intubation
Left Uterine displacement
Start Cesarean by 4 min
Delivery by 5 min
Essential Equipment (Should be
available in Labour ward)

Pulse oximeter

Cardiac arrest cart; defibrillator

Automatic Electric Defibrillator (AED)?

Cesarean section instruments

Difficult intubation equipment (including LMA, jet
ventilator, fiberoptic laryngoscope)

Thoracotomy instruments

Blood warmer and rapid fluid infuser

Central venous and arterial line equipment
Common Problems in
Obstetrics

Denial of problem  delay in response

Communication errors

Obstetric staff not prepared for catastrophes

Inadequate response from transfusion or labs

No specialty in-house surgeons (e.g., for airway,
vascular, cardiac problems)

No OB-ICU facilities
Family Support
 When
the mother and infant are gravely ill,
keep their family members well informed.
 Be cool and calm while communicating with the
family members
 Allow as much access to the loved ones as
possible.
 Get informed consent at each stage.
