Tuberculosis in pregnancy can be safely diagnosed and treated. While historically tuberculosis was thought to be harmful during pregnancy, modern treatments with drug combinations like rifampicin, isoniazid and ethambutol have shown no increased risk of malformations or damage when used during pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment leads to outcomes similar to non-pregnant women, while late diagnosis increases morbidity. Breastfeeding can also be done safely while the mother receives standard tuberculosis treatment. Screening for HIV is also recommended for pregnant women diagnosed with active tuberculosis.

Tb and pregnancy
This document discusses tuberculosis (TB) and its management in pregnancy. It notes that TB and pregnancy present physical and mental stresses. Diagnosis of TB in pregnancy can be challenging and requires careful management. Standard first-line drug regimens for TB treatment are considered safe in pregnancy with close monitoring, as untreated TB poses risks to both mother and fetus. Prompt treatment is recommended, as the same regimens are used during pregnancy as for non-pregnant patients. Breastfeeding is still encouraged during TB treatment.
Tuberculosis in pregnancy
Pulmonary tuberculosis is an infectious lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. It is characterized by fever, weight loss, and chronic cough. The bacteria spreads through airborne droplets from infected individuals. Tuberculosis during pregnancy can increase risks for the mother like preeclampsia and risks for the baby like low birth weight. Treatment involves a combination of oral antibiotic drugs for 9-12 months. Anti-tuberculosis treatment is generally safe in pregnancy but certain drugs require adjustments. Close monitoring of the mother and baby during and after pregnancy is important.

Prevention of Tuberculosis
The BCG vaccine has been incorporated into the National immunization policy of many countries, especially the high burden countries, thereby conferring active immunity from childhood. Nonimmune women travelling to tuberculosis endemic countries should also be vaccinated. It must, however, be noted that the vaccine is contraindicated in pregnancy [72].
The prevention, however, goes beyond this as it is essentially a disease of poverty. Improved living condition is, therefore, encouraged with good ventilation, while overcrowding should be avoided. Improvement in nutritional status is another important aspect of the prevention.
Pregnant women living with HIV are at higher risk for TB, which can adversely influence maternal and perinatal outcomes [73]. As much as 1.1 million people were diagnosed with the co-infection in 2009 alone [2]. Primary prevention of HIV/AIDS is, therefore, another major step in the prevention of tuberculosis in pregnancy. Screening of all pregnant women living with HIV for active tuberculosis is recommended even in the absence of overt clinical signs of the disease.
Isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) is another innovation of the World Health Organisation that is aimed at reducing the infection in HIV positive pregnant women based on evidence and experience and it has been concluded that pregnancy should not be a contraindication to receiving IPT. However, patient's individualisation and rational clinical judgement is required for decisions such as the best time to provide IPT to pregnant women
Fetal distress
This document discusses fetal distress, also known as nonreassuring fetal status. It can be defined as hypoxia that may result in permanent brain damage or death for the fetus if the cause is not addressed immediately. Some potential causes of fetal distress include maternal hypoxia, placental issues, obstetric complications, and prolonged compression of the fetal head. Effects on the fetus can include growth issues, decreased movement, low amniotic fluid, stillbirth, and effects on the infant like brain injury and meconium aspiration. Assessment methods discussed include monitoring fetal movement, ultrasounds, amniocentesis, biophysical profile testing, and electronic fetal monitoring during labor.
Hepatitis and pregnancy warda
This document discusses liver disease in pregnancy, specifically chronic hepatitis B and C. It notes that pregnancy is generally well-tolerated by women with chronic hepatitis B or C. The main concern is risk of transmission to the infant during childbirth. Screening pregnant women for hepatitis B and universal vaccination of newborns can interrupt transmission in over 90% of cases. Continuing lamivudine treatment during pregnancy may further reduce risk of transmission to 100%. Close monitoring is recommended for women with cirrhosis or portal hypertension due to risk of complications.
Syphilis in pregnancy-final_version
The document discusses three case scenarios involving pregnant women with reactive syphilis serology. It provides details on interpreting syphilis serology, the stages of syphilis infection, and recommendations for treatment and follow up after treatment. The key points are: syphilis should be suspected in pregnant women who are sexually active or have partners with risk factors; reactive nontreponemal and treponemal tests indicate current or past untreated syphilis; and pregnant women with reactive tests should be treated with penicillin to prevent transmission to the fetus.
Anaemia in pregnancy ICOG guidelines
This document provides guidelines on the prevention and management of iron deficiency anaemia during pregnancy. It defines anaemia levels and discusses the high prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in India. The causes of iron deficiency anaemia include inadequate iron intake, poor absorption, and increased requirements during pregnancy. Left untreated, it can lead to maternal and infant complications. The guidelines recommend dietary changes, iron supplementation, investigation and treatment based on anaemia severity. It also covers vitamin B12 and folate deficiency anaemias, including symptoms, investigations and management.
Malaria in pregnancy lec
Malaria is a major public health problem that disproportionately affects pregnant women and their babies. During pregnancy, a woman's risk of malaria infection increases due to immunosuppression. Malaria can cause severe complications for both mother and baby like abortion, stillbirth, low birth weight, maternal mortality. It is important to differentiate between uncomplicated and complicated malaria to ensure proper treatment. Management of malaria in pregnancy involves treatment, prevention of recurrence through intermittent preventive treatment and insecticide treated bed nets. Preventing malaria helps support healthy fetal growth and development.
Prolonged labour...
This presentation discusses prolonged labor, which occurs when labor lasts over 20 hours for first-time mothers or 14 hours for women who have given birth before. Prolonged labor can happen in the latent or active phases of the first stage, or the second stage. Causes include problems with uterine contractions, the birth canal, or the baby. Prolonged labor can endanger the baby through hypoxia or infection and endanger the mother through hemorrhage, trauma, or infection. Management involves identifying the cause, monitoring for effects, and treating any issues through techniques like amniotomy, oxytocin infusion, pain relief, or cesarean delivery if needed to deliver the baby safely.
Physiological changes of pregnancy
Changes occur in several body systems during pregnancy, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary systems. The cardiovascular system experiences an increased cardiac output of around 40% due to higher stroke volume and heart rate. Respiration increases through a 40% rise in tidal volume without changing breath frequency. The gastrointestinal system exhibits nausea, increased appetite, and constipation. The urinary system shows an enlarged kidney and dilated ureters along with higher glomerular filtration rate and decreased serum creatinine.
Hyperemesis gravidarum
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a severe form of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that results in dehydration, weight loss and electrolyte imbalance. It affects 0.3-3% of pregnancies. Risk factors include multiple gestation, family history and nulliparity. Nausea is caused by hormonal changes that relax the gastrointestinal tract. Treatment ranges from dietary changes for mild cases to intravenous hydration and antiemetics for severe cases. Corticosteroids may help refractory nausea and vomiting.
Physiological changes during third stage of labor
The document discusses the physiological changes that occur during the third stage of labor. It defines the third stage as beginning with the birth of the baby and ending with delivery of the placenta and membranes. It describes the two main methods of placental separation - the Schultze method where separation begins centrally, and the Matthew's Duncan method where separation occurs at the margins. The key events of the third stage include placental separation facilitated by uterine contractions, formation of a retroplacental clot, descent and expulsion of the placenta, and control of bleeding through uterine retraction.
Physiology of pregnancy. cardiovascular, respiratory and hematology
The document discusses the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy across multiple body systems. Key changes include an increase in cardiac output and blood volume to support the developing fetus. This leads to displacement of the heart and enlargement of the cardiac silhouette on chest x-rays. Shortness of breath is normal due to respiratory changes. Increased iron needs occur due to a rise in red blood cell and plasma volume. The document also provides guidance on diagnosing and managing anemia during pregnancy.
Amniotic fluid disorders
This document discusses disorders of amniotic fluid volume, including oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios. It begins by describing the origin, circulation, physical features and components of normal amniotic fluid. It then defines oligohydramnios and polyhydramnios, discusses their causes, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation and management. Complications are also outlined. The document provides detailed information on the etiology, investigations and treatment of the two conditions. It emphasizes that oligohydramnios is associated with high rates of pulmonary hypoplasia, growth restriction and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Hepatitis and pregnangy
The document discusses various types of hepatobiliary diseases that can occur during pregnancy including viral hepatitis, drug-induced hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, ischemic hepatitis, and viral hepatitis A-E. It notes physiological changes in liver enzymes and function during pregnancy. It provides details on symptoms, transmission, management, and risks for mother and baby associated with each condition.
Intrauterine growth restriction
1. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to fetuses that are small for gestational age and display signs of chronic hypoxia or failure to thrive. It occurs in approximately 3-5% of pregnancies.
2. IUGR can be classified as symmetrical/intrinsic or asymmetrical based on whether growth restriction affects all parameters equally or causes brain sparing. The causes include placental insufficiency, infections, genetic and structural fetal anomalies, and various maternal medical conditions and lifestyle factors.
3. Complications of IUGR include perinatal mortality and morbidity as well as long term risks of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis involves identifying high risk mothers, accurate dating by ultrasound,
Intrauterine death
Intrauterine fetal death refers to babies with no signs of life in utero after 24 completed weeks of gestation or weighing over 500g. The document discusses the definition, incidence, impacts, causes, diagnosis, investigations, labour and birth process, complications, lactation, postmortem examination, legal issues, psychological aspects, and follow up considerations for intrauterine fetal death. The overall goal is to provide compassionate care for the health of the mother and support for her and her partner during this difficult time.
Shoulder dystocia
Shoulder dystocia occurs when the baby's shoulders become stuck after delivery of the head. It has a low incidence rate of 0.2-1% and risk factors include fetal macrosomia, obesity, diabetes and others. Diagnosis is made when normal maneuvers by the midwife fail to deliver the baby. Management involves calling for help, clearing the baby's airways, and performing maneuvers like McRoberts and Rubin's to rotate the shoulders and decrease their diameter in order to allow delivery. More invasive maneuvers like cleidotomy may be needed if these fail to deliver the anterior shoulder.
Pain relief in labor

EPILEPSY AND PREGNANCY
This document discusses epilepsy and pregnancy. Some key points:
- Epilepsy affects 0.5% of women of childbearing age and is the most common neurological disorder complicating pregnancy.
- Seizure frequency may increase, decrease or remain unchanged during pregnancy, depending on the individual. The risk of seizures is highest around delivery.
- Antiepileptic medications used to treat epilepsy can cause birth defects, especially sodium valproate which has been linked to neural tube defects. The risk increases with multiple medications and higher valproate doses.
- Women with epilepsy need folic acid, careful monitoring of seizure frequency and medication levels during pregnancy, and fetal screening for birth defects. Managing epilepsy treatment aims to control
Tuberculosis and its effect in pregnancy.
The document discusses pulmonary tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria and spreads through airborne droplets. Symptoms include cough, fever, weight loss, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves tests of sputum and chest x-rays. Tuberculosis can affect the lungs and other organs. While pregnancy increases risks for both mother and baby, treatment aims to cure the mother's infection to prevent spread. Management involves multidrug therapy, monitoring for side effects, and ensuring treatment adherence and compliance.
Interferons dr. varun
Interferons are naturally occurring proteins that are secreted in response to viral infections and tumors. They have powerful immunomodulatory properties. There are two main classes of interferons - type I (alpha, beta, etc.) and type II (gamma). Interferons bind to specific cell surface receptors and induce hundreds of genes involved in antiviral, antitumor, and immunoregulatory responses. High-dose interferon has been shown to improve relapse-free and overall survival rates in high-risk melanoma patients when used as an adjuvant therapy. Interferons are also used to treat cancers like hairy cell leukemia, renal cell carcinoma, and some forms of lymphoma.

It outlines NACO's four-pronged strategy for PPTCT, which includes primary prevention of HIV among women, preventing unintended pregnancies in HIV+ women, preventing transmission from mother to child, and treatment/care for women and children living with HIV. It then discusses factors influencing transmission risk and interventions to reduce risk during pregnancy, delivery, and infancy including antiretroviral prophylaxis and therapy.
Tubeculosis in pregnancy copy
This document discusses pulmonary tuberculosis in pregnant women. It notes that 30% of global TB cases are in India, and 5% of pregnant women have active TB disease. It outlines symptoms of TB in pregnancy like fatigue, fever, and cough. It discusses evaluating and treating TB in pregnancy, including using directly observed therapy. Side effects on the fetus are considered minimal. Vaginal delivery is generally safe while avoiding certain drugs. Breastfeeding is also generally recommended while taking precautions if the mother has active TB.
Oral manifestation of AIDS
The document summarizes early signs and symptoms of AIDS, oral manifestations of HIV, and concludes with the importance of early testing. Early signs may include brief flu-like symptoms appearing 2-4 weeks after infection. As the virus destroys immune cells over years, mild infections and chronic symptoms develop, including swollen lymph nodes, diarrhea, weight loss and fever. Late-stage AIDS is marked by opportunistic infections causing symptoms like night sweats, cough, diarrhea and oral lesions. Oral manifestations include fungal, viral and bacterial lesions as well as neoplastic lesions like Kaposi's sarcoma. Early testing is key to stopping the spread of HIV and improving survival.
Oral manifestations in hiv disease
The document discusses oral manifestations of HIV infection at different stages. It begins by outlining methods of HIV transmission. In primary HIV infection, nonspecific flu-like symptoms occur within 6-12 weeks and resolve within a few weeks. Then follows a clinical latency period where HIV replicates slowly lowering CD4 counts. Oral opportunistic infections like candidiasis and hairy leukoplakia may occur as immunity declines. Advanced HIV is diagnosed when CD4 counts drop below 200, putting one at risk for serious infections. Kaposi's sarcoma lesions in the mouth may appear as well. Topical treatments are discussed for various oral conditions.
Interferon
This document discusses interferons and their role in treating viral infections. It notes that there are three main types of natural interferons - alpha, beta, and gamma - which are produced by cells in response to viral stimuli. Recombinant interferons developed for treatment include pegylated forms with longer half-lives than standard interferons. The document focuses on the use of interferons, particularly pegylated interferons, in treating hepatitis C virus infections. It reviews clinical trial results showing the superiority of combination therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin over monotherapy or standard interferon treatments. Common side effects are also discussed.

HIV IN PREGNANCY.pptx
HIV causes AIDS by weakening a person's immune system. It is transmitted through sexual contact, blood and from mother to child. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent mother-to-child transmission which occurs during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. With treatment, transmission can be reduced to less than 5%, but without around 15-30% of babies will be infected. Managing HIV in pregnancy requires antiretroviral treatment, nutritional support, monitoring for infections, and strategies to prevent transmission during delivery such as cesarean section instead of breastfeeding.
HIV In Pregnancy
This document discusses HIV infection in pregnancy and factors affecting mother-to-child transmission. It notes that over 600,000 children are infected with HIV annually through mother-to-child transmission. The transmission rate can be affected by viral load, stage of infection, use of antiretroviral therapy, and duration of rupture of membranes during delivery. Proper prenatal care, treatment of opportunistic infections, nutrition support, and antiretroviral therapy for the mother can help reduce transmission risk from mother to child.

It also outlines recommended testing, treatment and prevention strategies used in PMTCT programs.
Vaccination in pregnancy by dr alka & dr apurva mukherjee nagpur m.s. india
Maternal immunization provides important health benefits to both pregnant women and to their fetus. Vaccine-preventable diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality among maternal, neonatal, and young infant. Some infections are so serious even they can waste pregnancy, harm her baby during pregnancy or after delivery. These complications can be protected with vaccination. This is why vaccinations are so important for pregnant mothers. Vaccines strengthen the immune systems of body that can fight off serious infectious diseases. A vaccine can help in protection of the mother's body from infections and this immunity passes to her baby during pregnancy. This immunity keeps the child safe during the first few months of life until baby gets his own vaccination. Vaccination also protects mothers from getting a serious disease that could affect future pregnancies. Fetus getting any risk after vaccination of the mother during pregnancy primarily is theoretical. Globally, no scientific study exist which shows the risk of fetus after vaccination of pregnant women with inactivated vaccines or bacterial vaccines or toxoids. Even live vaccines causing risk to fetus is theoretical. Benefits of vaccinating pregnant women usually outweigh potential risks when the likelihood of disease exposure is high, when infection would pose a risk to the mother or fetus, and when the vaccine is unlikely to cause harm. Not all vaccinations are safe during pregnancy but some of inactivated vaccines are considered safe which can be give to pregnant women who might be at risk of infection.
ANTENATAL CARE
The document discusses antenatal care and advice for pregnant women. It provides definitions for different types of pregnancies and deliveries. It describes the objectives of antenatal care which include maintaining the health of the mother and fetus, screening for complications, and educating mothers. The process involves collecting patient information, examinations, investigations, and providing advice regarding diet, exercise, hygiene and minor disorders that may occur during pregnancy. The overall aim is to deliver a healthy baby and support the goals of the mother.

Pregnant women do not appear more likely to contract COVID-19 than the general population, but their immune systems are changed and they should take precautions. COVID-19 pneumonia in pregnancy is usually mild with good recovery. Pregnant women with heart disease have greater risk. The pandemic has increased perinatal anxiety and depression. Vertical transmission is probable but risk to neonates is still unknown. There is no evidence COVID-19 causes miscarriage or birth defects. Care should be tailored to essential visits while not delaying obstetric management.
Breastfeeding during covid 19
This document provides guidance for breastfeeding mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It recommends that mothers continue breastfeeding and take precautions like wearing a mask, washing hands, and cleaning surfaces. If a mother has COVID-19, she can express milk and have another caregiver feed the infant. The document provides tips for proper hygiene during formula feeding as well. It emphasizes the importance of breastfeeding for infant health and immunity.
Vaccination and pregnancy
This document discusses vaccination during pregnancy. It begins by outlining the success of maternal immunization and different types of vaccines. It then covers immunization before, during, and after pregnancy. Vaccines recommended during pregnancy include tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap), and inactivated influenza vaccines. Live attenuated vaccines are generally contraindicated due to theoretical risk to the fetus. Postpartum, women should receive any recommended vaccines not administered during pregnancy. Vaccines are an effective way to prevent infectious diseases posing risks to mothers and newborns.
Prevention of parent to child transmission programme
Mother to child transmission of HIV can occur during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. The risk is higher if the mother's HIV infection is in an advanced stage, if she is malnourished, has other STDs, or her membranes rupture early. Antiretroviral therapy and cesarean delivery before labor can reduce transmission risk. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months poses a lower risk than mixed feeding. India's PMTCT program provides counseling, testing, antiretroviral prophylaxis to pregnant women and newborns to prevent transmission and aims to reduce transmission by 50% by 2010.

Management of newborn infant born to mother suffering from
Indian J Med Res 140, July 2014, pp 32-39 reviews current recommendations for managing newborn infants born to mothers with tuberculosis. There is no uniform consensus across different countries. Congenital tuberculosis is diagnosed using Cantwell criteria and treated with a 3-4 drug regimen for 9-12 months. Prophylaxis with isoniazid for 3-6 months is recommended for infants born to infectious mothers. Breastfeeding is recommended and isolation is only needed if the mother has multidrug resistant TB or is non-adherent to treatment. The BCG vaccine is given at birth or after prophylaxis completion. Guidelines vary on prophylaxis duration and dose, and timing of diagnostic tests.
Tropical disease PPT Use for OBG presentation

The guidelines cover antenatal care, immunization, labor and delivery recommendations depending on viral load, and neonatal and postpartum management of HIV-positive mothers and exposed infants. The overall aim is to optimize care and reduce risk of HIV transmission through comprehensive antenatal and delivery protocols.
Prolonged Rupture Of Membranes
The document discusses neonatal infection risks associated with prolonged rupture of membranes and strategies for prevention and management. Key points:
- Rupture of membranes for longer than 18 hours increases the risk of chorioamnionitis and neonatal infection due to ascending bacterial infection from the birth canal.
- Preterm infants have higher infection risks due to immune dysfunction and invasive procedures.
- Guidelines recommend screening all pregnant women for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) at 35-37 weeks and administering intrapartum antibiotics (IAP) for those who test positive or have other risk factors.
- Management of infants involves observation and/or limited evaluation and empiric antibiotics depending on gestational age,

Key diagnostic criteria include gestational sac location, presence of healthy myometrium tissue, and Doppler flow characteristics. The document provides diagrams and descriptions to illustrate differences between pseudosacs, normal intrauterine pregnancies, and ectopic pregnancies located in fallopian tubes, ovaries, and other abnormal locations. Careful ultrasound examination is important for accurately identifying ectopic pregnancies.
Induction of labour
The document discusses guidelines for induction of labor including:
1) Common reasons for induction of labor and risks/benefits that should be discussed with patients. Patients should be informed of alternative options if they decline induction.
2) What to discuss at the 38 week visit including membrane sweeps and the timing of induction between 41-42 weeks or for other reasons like preterm rupture of membranes.
3) Methods of induction including membrane sweeps, pharmacological agents like prostaglandins, amniotomy, and Foley catheter placement. Risks of induction like uterine hyperstimulation and failed induction are also addressed.
Management of tubal ectopic pregnancy
This document discusses the management of ectopic pregnancies. It outlines the treatment options of expectant, medical, and surgical management. For ruptured ectopic pregnancies, immediate resuscitation and laparotomy are needed. Surgical management typically involves salpingectomy, though salpingotomy may be considered to preserve fertility. Medical management uses methotrexate and has a success rate of 90% with one dose. Expectant management can be considered for select stable patients. Proper follow-up with serial hCG and ultrasound exams is important for all management approaches.
Management of tubal ectopic pregnancy
Management of ectopic pregnancy involves expectant, medical, or surgical treatment options. Ruptured ectopic pregnancies require emergency laparotomy for salpingectomy and resuscitation. Medical management with methotrexate is appropriate for stable patients with HCG <3,000 and no fetal pole. Follow up HCG levels are needed to monitor resolution and detect persistent trophoblast requiring further treatment. Expectant management can be considered for asymptomatic patients with HCG <1,000 and adnexal mass <5cm if HCG decreases by 50% within a week.
HIV and pregnancy
The document discusses HIV in pregnancy and strategies to prevent mother-to-child transmission. It recommends screening all pregnant women for HIV early in pregnancy and managing positive cases with a multidisciplinary team. Antiretroviral therapy is recommended for HIV-positive mothers during pregnancy and delivery to reduce transmission risk below 2%. Mode of delivery depends on the mother's viral load and treatment, with elective c-section beneficial for untreated or high viral load women.
Thromboprophylaxis During Pregnancy, Labour And
This document provides guidelines for thromboprophylaxis during pregnancy, labor, and after vaginal delivery. It outlines various risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) including pre-existing conditions like previous DVT or thrombophilia, as well as transient risks from procedures, immobilization, or medical complications. It recommends individual assessment and management based on risk factor profile, including consideration of antenatal low molecular weight heparin for high risk groups like those with previous VTE or inherited thrombophilia. Postpartum prophylaxis for at least 6 weeks is also advised for many groups based on their VTE risk.
Multiple Pterygium
Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) is characterized by webbing of the neck, joints, and digits along with short stature and facial anomalies. It can be caused by mutations in the CHRNG gene encoding the gamma subunit of the acetylcholine receptor. A related but distinct condition is popliteal pterygium syndrome, which is dominant and limited to knee contractures. MPS is heterogeneous and can be autosomal recessive, dominant, or sporadic. Escobar syndrome is a nonlethal form of MPS caused by CHRNG mutations, presenting with joint contractures, respiratory distress, and facial dysmorphism.
Cardio pulmonary resuscitation
The document discusses cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and key aspects of the chain of survival:
1) Early recognition and calling for help, such as using early warning scores to identify at-risk patients.
2) Early CPR and defibrillation if needed. Defibrillation should be performed with minimal interruptions to chest compressions.
3) Post resuscitation care including treating any reversible causes like hypoxia, tension pneumothorax, hypothermia, etc.
Vault Proplapse Repair
This document summarizes guidelines for managing vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy. It discusses prevention techniques during hysterectomy like McCall culdoplasty and ligament fixation. Assessment involves the POPQ system. Conservative options include pessaries but have unclear roles. Surgical options include sacrospinous fixation, sacrocolpopexy, and colpocleisis for frail patients. Sacrospinous fixation has shorter recovery but higher recurrence risks than sacrocolpopexy. Laparoscopic techniques require more skill but have shorter recovery. Slings and mesh reconstruction require further research.
Still Birth Classification
The document discusses various classification systems for stillbirths and neonatal deaths. It describes the ReCoDe classification system which categorizes stillbirths into 9 groups based on the relevant condition at death, including groups for fetal conditions, umbilical cord issues, placental problems, amniotic fluid abnormalities, uterine factors, maternal health conditions, intrapartum complications, trauma, and unclassified cases. It then outlines several other classification approaches including the Wigglesworth, Nordic-Baltic, and Aberdeen systems which categorize stillbirths and neonatal deaths based on factors like congenital anomalies, gestational age, infection, maternal conditions, and unexplained cases.
Small For Gestational Age
This document discusses small for gestational age (SGA) babies, including the definition, implications, causes, diagnosis, and management. SGA refers to babies that fail to reach weight thresholds by certain gestational ages. Left undetected and unmonitored, SGA can lead to stillbirth, birth complications, and long-term health issues. Common causes include chromosomal abnormalities. Diagnosis involves ultrasound scans, fundal height measurements, and Doppler tests. Management includes determining causes, surveillance with Doppler ultrasound, and deciding on delivery timing and method based on test results.
