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
Rupture uterus with haemorrhage, shock and sepsis
Fetal loss is high in spontaneous and traumatic rupture
Mortality is low in LSCS scar rupture
Adherent placenta occurs when there is a defect in the decidua basalis, Resulting in an abnormal invasion of the placenta directly into the substance of the uterus

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

ASA GUIDELINE
NYSORA Guideline
2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
4. In case of unruptured pregnancies.
Methotrexate
Antineoplastic drug
Acts as a Folic acid antagonist
ADVANTAGES:
Avoids surgery and anaesthesia
Less expense
Less tubal damage
More chance of future fertlity
5. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
Haemodynamically stable
No intrauterine pregnancy on ultrasound
No tubal rupture
Size of ectopic < 4cm
If there is fetal cardiac activity use with caution
βhCG level preferably < 3000 IU/L
6. Investigations : Full blood count, LFT and
RFT
Exposure to sun should be avoided
Folic acid tablets should not be given
‘Seperation pain’
If medical management fails surgery is
indicated and it becomes necessary in
about 10% women
After methotrexate administration, βhCG is
better for monitoring and ultrasound is not
used
7. SINGLE DOSE REGIMEN
Single dose of methotrexate
MULTIPLE DOSE REGIMEN
Methotrexate & Leucovorin on alternate days to a
maximum of 4 doses
TWO DOSE REGIMEN
Second dose of methotrexate on day 4
8.
9. Both conservative surgery & salpingectomy can
be performed at laparoscopy and laparotomy.
Laparoscopy is preferable.
But the laparoscopic experience of the surgeon
and the haemodynamic stability of the patient
matters.
Conservative measures are indicated when the
woman has not completed her family.But in 5%
cases, persistent ectopic has been noted and
hence serial serum βhCG is indicated.
10. LINEAR SALPINGOSTOMY
In ampullary ectopic
A linear incision is made on the antimesenteric border of
the tube immediately over the ectopic and the products
will extrude out.
SEGMENTAL RESECTION
When the ectopic is at the isthmus
Segmental resection is followed by isthmoampullary
anastomosis, if necessary.
11. SALPINGECTOMY
The safest and complete method ,provided the other tube is
normal. Ipsilateral ovary should be conserved.
INDICATIONS:
When the tube is not salvageable
Uncontrolled bleeding from the tube
Recurrent ectopic occurs in the same tube
Childbearing is complete
Previous sterilisation
PERSISTENT ECTOPIC
Diagnosed by plateauing or rising serum βhCG values
following salpingostomy.
12. Under ultrasound guidance, direct injection of
a drug is given into the ectopic.
Methotrexate, patassium chloride,
hyperosmolar glucose and PGF2α can be used.
Direct injection of KCl into the sac can be
combined with medical management , in case
of a live ectopic otherwise suited for medical
management.
This is not much employed today.
13. Option for clinically stable asymptomatic
women with an ultrasound diagnosis of ectopic
pregnancy and initial serum βhCG below the
discriminatory zone (preferably <1000 IU/L) and
subsequent falling levels.
These women should be counselled properly and
should be within easy reach of the hospital.
Monitoring should be with serial serum βhCG twice
weekly.
17. An ectopic pregnancy coexists with an
intraabdominal pregnancy.
Incidence has increased from 1 in
30,000 pregnancies in the past to 1 in
100 pregnancies.
Serial monitoring of serum βhCG is not
helpful.
Management : Surgical
18. Interstitial : In the proximal intramural part of the
tube
Cornual : In the upper and lateral uterine cavity
Involves myometrium and advance to a
later
stage (even upto 16 weeks).
USG shows a bulge in the cornual area, with an
extremely thin myometrial mantle surrounding
gestational sac. The sac should be located more
than 1cm from the endometrial echo.
The pregnancy can also be in a rudimentary horn of
a bicornuate uterus, usually the horn is non
communicating. If diagnosed earlier, excision of
the rudimentary horn and the tube of the affected
side can be done.
19. Within the broad ligament
Rare; due to penetration of the tubal wall
by the trophoblast and its advancement
between the two layers of the broad
ligament.
20. Usually secondary; after early tubal
rupture or abortion. The fertilised ovum
implants on the peritoneum and continues
to grow.
A primary abdominal pregnancy is
extremely rare.
STUDIFORD CRITERIA
Both tubes and ovaries should be normal
Uteroperitoneal fistula should not be seen
The pregnancy is related exclusively to the peritoneal
surface.
21. In abdominal pregnancy,
Nausea and abdominal pain
Malpresentations and superficial fetal parts
Braxton-Hicks contractions not felt
USG : Absence of uterine outline over the fetus
Management : Laparotomy and removal of fetus
Complications : Torrential haemorrhage due to lack of
constriction of open vessels after placental seperation
Unless placenta is implanted over vital structures or
major blood vessels it should be removed. Or else
left in situ and autolysis awaited.
Monitored by serial ultrasound and serum βhCG
levels.
Methotrexate can be given.
22. Implantation in the endocervical canal below
the internal os.
Predisposing factors
Previous dilatation and curettage
Previous caesarean section
Most common symptom – Painless vaginal
bleeding
Usually diagnosed incidentally during a
routine scan or during evacuation of a
suspected abortion.
Blood flow around the sac is more suggestive
of a true cervical pregnancy.
Colour doppler can be used to differentiate
between a true cervical pregnancy and an
intact gestational sac passing through cervix.
23. Rubin Criteria:
There should be cervical glands opposite the placental
attachment.
Attachment of placenta to cervix should be below the
entrance of the uterine vessels or below the peritoneal
reflection.
Fetal elements should not be present in the corpus uteri.
Ultrasound Criteria:
Empty uterus
Hourglass shape of uterus
Ballooned out cervical canal
Gestational sac and placental tissue
in the cervical canal
Closed internal os
24. First choice : Medical treatment with
multiple dose methotrexate.
Radiological uterine artery embolisation
followed by evacuation. Bilateral internal
iliac artery ligature has also been tried.
Hysterectomy
25. Implantation in the ovary
Very rare
Usual consequence : Rupture at an early
stage
Management : Surgery; ovariotomy
Methotrexate if
diagnosed earlier
Spiegelberg Criteria:
The tube on the affected side should be intact.
Fetal sac should occupy the position of the ovary.
Ovary should be connected to the uterus by the
ovarian ligament.
Definite ovarian tissue should be found in the sac
wall.
26. In women with a previous caesarean section.
Diagnostic criteria:
An empty uterine cavity
A gestational sac located anteriorly at the level of
the internal os covering the visible or presumed
site of the previous lower uterine segment
caesarean section scar
Evidence of functional trophoblastic /placental
circulation on Doppler examination
An absent “sliding sign” (inability to displace the
gestational sac from its position at the level of
internal os using gentle pressure applied by the
transvaginal probe)
