results hemoglobin level was 9.9 ± 5.1 in the control group six hours after hemorrhage while it was 8.10 ± 2.1 in the treatment group (p = 0.004). hemoglobin level was 5.8 ± 4.1 in the control who did not receive transfusion of blood products during the first 24 hours after hemorrhage, while this level was 7.9 ± 4.1 in the treatment group (p = 0.001). the amount of bleeding significantly declin...

background: uterine arteriovenous malformation is a rare but potential life-threatening source of bleeding. a high index of suspicion and accurate diagnosis of the condition in a timely manor are essential because instrumentation that is often used for other sources of uterine bleeding can be lead to massive hemorrhage. case: we describe here a case of uterine arteriovenous malformation. a 32-y...

uterine arteriovenous malformations (avms) are relatively rare disorders that can cause life-threatening vaginal bleeding. we describe three childbearing-age females, who had abdominal pain and heavy vaginal bleeding, and were diagnosed as uterine avm by color doppler and angiography. the patients received successful superselective transarterial embolization (tae) with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (nb...

OBJECTIVE To investigate dynamic changes in myometrial thickness during the third stage of labor. METHODS Myometrial thickness was measured using ultrasound at one-minute time intervals during the third stage of labor in the mid-region of the upper and lower uterine segments in 151 patients including: women with a long third stage of labor (n = 30), postpartum hemorrhage (n = 4), preterm deli...

PRECIS During the management of cesarean scar pregnancy, gestational mass size >6 cm, uterine scar thickness <0.2 cm, peak systolic velocity >70 cm/s, and resistance index <0.35 are independent risk factors for excessive hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with excessive hemorrhage during the management of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP)....

When we are confronted with a patient experiencing placenta previa with massive hemorrhage in cesarean delivery, hemostasis is first attempted using uterotonic drugs, uterine massage, and intrauterine packing. However, if these maneuvers fail, then uterine artery ligation, whole myometrial suture, and subendometrial vasopressin injection should be attempted. Perhaps these procedures alone or in...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to estimate the cumulative incidence, patient characteristics, and potential risk factors for secondary hemorrhage after total laparoscopic hysterectomy. METHODS All women who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy at Paul's Hospital between January 2004 and April 2012 were included in the study. Patients who had bleeding per vaginam b...

Uterine inversion is a state wherein the endometrial surface is inverted. Although this condition may be observed in nonpregnant women, it most commonly develops at the time of delivery. In the present case, a 37-year-old woman without any remarkable history developed acute puerperal uterine inversion after the successful induction of labor. Following the delivery, she complained twice of sever...

OBJECTIVE To determine safety and effectiveness of uterine packing to stop hemorrhage in postpartum and post abortal cases. METHODS Patients who delivered either vaginally or via Caesarian section who developed primary post partum haemorrhage and post abortal patients developing primary post partum haemorrhage refractory to conventional medical treatment, were included in the study. Packing w...
