• Accounts for ¾ of gynaecological
  admissions
• Important cause of maternal morbidity
  and mortality
Causes of early pregnancy bleeding

•   Spontaneous miscarriage

Gynaecological complications

  • Cervical cancer
  • Infections
  • Cervical polyp
The normal pregnancy

Symptomatology
•   Classical trial
•   Amenorrhoea
•   Pelvic or low abdominal pain
•   Vaginal bleeding
First test is to demonstrate the
    presence of HCG - HCG

  •   Glycoprotein
  •   2 subunits
  •   Half life 6 to 24 hours
  •   Peak level at 9 to 13 weeks
Urine test
• Sensitivity is around 25 IU/Ltr
• Positive results around 14 days after
  ovulation

Plasma HCG
• 0.1 to 0.3 iu/L is able to detect a
  pregnancy 6 to 7 days after ovulation
Definition

• The expulsion of the concepts before
  24 weeks of pregnancy

Different types of abortion

1.Threaten abortion is characterised by
    • Bleeding aft amenorrhoea
    • No uterine contraction and pain
    • The cervix is closed
    • Uterus size is similar to date
2.Inevitable abortion
    • There will be – more bleeding
    • Uterine contraction and pain
    • The cervix is dilated
3. Complete abortion
    • The whole conceptus is expelled
    • Uterus contracts to normal size
    • Bleeding stops
    • The cervix is closed
4. Incomplete abortion
    • There will be products of conception
    • Bleeding continue and severe
      accompanied by shock
    • There will be pain
    • Infection may supervene
5. Missed abortion
    • Dead fetus retained in the uterus
    • Size of uterus is smaller than dates
    • Signs + symptoms of pregnancy reduced
    • Brownish discharges per vaginum
    • The os is closed
    • In ultrasound there is no fetal heart
      movement
6. Septic abortion
    • Caused by incomplete abortion
      complicated by infection
    • There will be pyrexia
    • Abdominal pain + pelvic tenderness
    • Foul smelling purulent discharge per vagina
7. Habitual abortion
    • Three or more consecutive abortion
      (spontaneous)
Management of different types of
          abortion
• Threatened abortion
    • Reassurance
    • Bed rest
    • Sedation
    • Uterine relaxants
    • Hormone (progestogen)
    • USS to check viability
    • All pads + everything passed may be saved
      for examination
    • Modern approach – no treatment has
      proved the value
Management of different types of
         abortion
•   Inevitable abortion
•   Incomplete abortion
•   Missed abortion
•   Complete abortion
    – No treatment required
    – Habitual abortion
       • Treat the cause if cause is found
       • Treat general disease if present
Management of septic abortion

• General
    • Nursing care
    • Nutrition
    • Fluid and electrolytes balance
    • Correct anaemia
    • To note urine out put
Specific
   • Cervical swab
   • High vaginal swab for C & S
   • Blood culture
   • IV Antibiotics
   • C Pen & ampicillin – gm(+)
   • Gentamycin – gm (-)
   • Metronidazole – anaerobes
   • Antitetanus toxoid
   • Remove the septic focus
•   Management of septic abortion
•   Evacuation and curettage for RPOC
•   POD puncture and drainage
•   Laparotomy and drainage
•   TAH if perforation detected
Septicaemic shock
 • Keep is ICU
 • O2
 • Correct acidosis
 • Blood transfusion if require
 • Antibiotics intravenously
 • Blood and heparin for DIC
Renal failure (Urine output < 30 ml/hr)
    increased urea and electrolytes
•   Restrict fluid
•   High carbohydrate, low protein
•   Restriction of sodium and potassium
•   Dialysis if blood urea more than 25 mmol/l
•   Manitol
•   frusemide
