This document discusses amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), a rare but life-threatening complication of pregnancy and delivery. It was once associated with an 85% maternal mortality rate, but modern intensive care has reduced the mortality rate to around 35%. AFE is caused by an anaphylactoid reaction when amniotic fluid enters the mother's bloodstream, causing widespread vasoconstriction and cardiac issues. Risk factors include multiparity, abruption, intrauterine fetal death, and certain labor/delivery complications. Diagnosis is clinical but tests like blood gases, ECG, and lung CT can help. Aggressive management focuses on airway control, fluid resuscitation, controlling hemorrhage,
When fetal head is delivered, but shoulders are stuck and cannot be delivered it is known as shoulder dystocia.
The anterior shoulder becomes trapped behind on the symphysis pubis, whilst the posterior shoulder may be in the hollow of the sacrum or high above the sacral promontory.

Retained placenta can be defined as lack of placental expulsion within 30 minutes of delivery of an infant. it is more common in preterm. Retained Placenta can lead to massive PPH and increase maternal morbidity and mortality.
Uterine Rupture
Deepa Mishra
Assistant Professor (OBG)
Introduction
Uterine rupture is when the muscular wall of the uterus tears during pregnancy or childbirth
Symptoms while classically including increased pain, vaginal bleeding, or a change in contractions are not always present.
Disability or death of the mother or baby may result.
Definition
Uterine rupture is giving way of gravid uterus or dissolution in the continuity of uterine wall anytime after 28 weeks of gestation with or without expulsion of the fetus.
Incidence
Rates of uterine rupture during vaginal birth following one previous C-section, done by the typical technique, are estimated at 0.9%
Rates are greater among those who have had multiple prior C-sections or an atypical type of C-section.
In those who do have uterine scarring, the risk during a vaginal birth is about 1 per 12,000
Risk of death of the baby is about 6%
Etiology
Risk Factors
Previous cesarean section
Myomectomy
Dysfunctional labor
Labor augmentation by oxytocin or prostaglandins
High parity
First pregnancy- very rare
Types of uterine rupture
Complete Rupture
All the layers including peritoneum are torn and the uterine contents escape into the peritoneal cavity.
Usually results in death
Incomplete Rupture
Visceral peritoneum is intact and usually the fetus remains in the uterine cavity
Sign & Symptoms
Uterine dehiscence and abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding
Deterioration of fetal heart rate
Loss of fetal station on manual vaginal exam
Hypovolemic shock due to intrabdominal bleeding
Chest pain between the scapulae, pain during inspiration due to irritation of blood below the perineum
Cessation of uterine contractions
Palpation of fetus outside the uterus
Signs of abdominal pregnancy
Post term pregnancy
Diagnosis
Signs of obstructed labor with dehydration, exhaustion, tachycardia raised temperature tonic contraction , pathological retraction ring
Absent fetal heart sound
On PV hot, dry vagina with a large caput over the presenting part
Prevention
Early diagnosis and management of CPD mal presentation and obstructed labor
Proper selection of cases for vaginal delivery
Carefull monitoring of oxytocin infusion specially in multipara
Avoid intra uterine manipulation no version in single fetus
Instrumental delivery after cervical dilatation
Immediate CS in obstructed labor
Hospital delivery for high risk cases
ECV should be avoided during general anaesthesia
Careful manual removal of placenta
Treatment
Resuscitation with adequate hydration and blood transfusion
Laprotomy
Hysterectomy
Repair
Complication

Amniotic fluid embolism: Pathophysiology from the
perspective of pathology
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is recognized as a type of syndrome characterized by the abrupt onset of hypoxia,
hypotension, seizures, or disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC), occurring during labor, delivery, or
immediately postpartum, caused by the inflow of amniotic components into the maternal circulation.
} AFE is a
rare condition but one of the most serious obstetrical complications, resulting in a high mortality rate among
pregnant women. Despite earlier recognition and intensive critical management, we often encounter patients
who unfortunately do not recover from the exacerbation of AFE-related conditions. A major concern is that there
are no effective evidence-based therapies for AFE, because its pathophysiology is still not well understood. This
article reviewed AFE, focusing on the pathology and currently proposed pathophysiology

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

2. Amniotic Fluid Embolism
A rare event – 3.3 per 100,000 deliveries in an
Australian study based on ICD10
Was once associated with an 85% maternal
mortality - 50% within the first hour
35% maternal mortality with modern intensive
care and 32% perinatal mortality if it occurs before
delivery
3. AFE – Risk Factors
Multiparity
Abruption
Intrauterine Fetal Death
Tumultuous labour
Oxytocin or Prostaglandin hyperstimulation
Caesarean section
Manual removal of the placenta
4. AFE - Pathophysiology
Probably an anaphylactoid-type reaction to the
intravascular ingress of amniotic fluid
This causes widespread vasoconstriction
including pulmonary and cardiac vessels
There is ↓myocardial contractility and acute left
heart failure
If the mother survives the initial cardiorespiratory
failure then DIC and haemorrhage is inevitable
Survivors may suffer stroke due to cerebral
infarction
The presence of fetal amniotic squames in the
maternal lung at autopsy is said to be “diagnostic”
5. AFE – Clinical Presentations
Acute fetal distress followed quickly by maternal
collapse with hypotension, dyspnoea and cyanosis
Sudden loss of consciousness or seizure
Often proceeds or occurs immediately after
delivery
Maternal collapse during Caesarean section
Followed by profuse post partum haemorrhage
6. AFE – Diagnosis
The diagnosis is a clinical one
Exclude alternatives (if possible)
Placental abruption
Uterine rupture
Eclampsia
Thromboembolism
Cardiogenic causes of acute CCF
Drug toxicity e.g. Local anaesthetics
Anaphylaxis
Transfusion reaction
Massive aspiration of gastric contents
Useful Tests
Blood gases
ECG
Blood Coagulation tests
Lung CT to look for signs of thromboembolism
Serum zinc coproporphyrin >35 nmol/L
7. AFE - Management
Remember A, B, C
Endotracheal intubation and IPPV with
100% O2 ASAP
Aggressive fluid replacement preferably
with CVP monitoring
Aggressive use of oxytocic agents plus
whatever to control PPH
Pressor agents eg Dopamine usually
required
Multidisciplinary Intensive Care (including a
haematologist)
FFP and Platelets for DIC
