Abstract:
Obstetrical emergencies are life threatening conditions that occur in pregnancy during labour and after delivery. It is common that approximately 15% of all pregnant women develop serious complication from conception to delivery. Obstetrical emergencies may turn catastrophic in women, so every little contribution to save maternal and neonatal life brings about reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Among all the emergency situations which may arise across the field of obstetrics, there are small numbers which call urgent practical steps to be taken in order to safeguard the life of the mother or the baby or both. Emergency obstetric care is a set of critical lifesaving functions commonly called signal functions provided by a health care facility throughout the day and week. Obstetric complications can neither be predicted nor be prevented but can be managed by timely provision of life saving services. When obstetric emergencies occur, effective and efficient care by the health care professionals is essential for good outcome and safety. Diagnosis of serious situation to delivery interval should be less than 30 minutes; however, it is expected to be lengthy then appropriate measure should be taken to manage the obstetric complications. Prompt diagnosis , timely performed intervention and positive impact of maternal and neonatal management have significantly improved the maternal and neonatal outcome.

Abstract:
This study explores the experiences of a group of midwives when caring for women who are having obstetric emergencies in labour. The study aimed to investigate the experiences of midwives to answer the research question 'What is the lived experience of caring for women during obstetric emergencies in labour, as perceived through the experiences of midwives?' The study utilised a descriptive phenomenological approach in which midwives were asked to recount their experiences during a non-directed interview. The data were analysed using a modified version of Colaizzi's (1978) framework. The study was conducted in two maternity units within National Health Service Trusts in the East of England. The participants comprised a convenience sample of eleven midwives with between six months and twenty-five years experience, all of whom had given care during obstetric emergencies in labour - in either acute or midwifery led units, or in the community setting. Four theme categories and twelve associated theme clusters were identified. The four theme categories were: learning to care; involvement; coping; and valuing and respecting. The study suggests that caring in obstetric emergencies is a demanding and, at times, exhausting reciprocal partnership between the midwife and the woman. The midwife-mother relationship is characterised by varying degrees of involvement. Caring is initiated in response to actual or perceived needs or wants, and is communicated through physical presence and an intense emotional connection. The woman and her family are valued and respected, which facilitates the connection. The ability to care and to cope in these difficult clinical situations is influenced by a number of factors, including the level of perceived support from colleagues and events in the midwife's' personal life. Caring is enhanced by an extended experiential knowledge base and can be ii ~~---------- extended beyond personally determined boundaries if either of these two factors is enhanced. The study offers insight into a previously unexplored aspect of midwifery practice, and has ramifications for both undergraduate preparation of student midwives, and the support and continuing professional development of qualified staff.

Full text
Abstract:
Study Setting: Two rural Indonesian districts served by the national midwife-in-the-village programme. Methods: Three critical incident audits of maternal mortality and severe morbidity: confidential enquiry, a verbal autopsy survey, and a participatory community-based review. Results: A range of inter-related factors contributed to poor quality and access. When delivery complications occurred, many women and families were un-informed, un-prepared, found care unavailable, unaffordable, and relied on traditional providers. Social health insurance was poorly promoted, inequitably distributed, complex, bureaucratic, and often led to lower quality care. Public midwives were scarce in remote areas and lacked incentives to provide care to the poor. Emergency transport was often unavailable and private transport incurred further expense. In facilities, there was reluctance to admit poor women, and ill-equipped, under-staffed wards for those accepted. Referrals between hospitals were also common. Examining adverse events from user and provider perspectives yielded multi-level causal explanations. These were used to develop a conceptual model relating structural arrangements (such as decentralisation, commodified care and reductions in public funding) to constrained service provision and adverse health consequences. Conclusions and recommendations: A policy shift towards healthcare as a public good may provide a route to reduce available maternal ill-health. Engaging with those who require and provide critical care in routine assessments can inform more robust health planning, and promote inclusion and participation in health.

Abstract:
This study examines global incentives to reduce maternal mortality, namely the fifth Millenium Developmnet Goal to reduce maternal mortality with 75% by 2015. More specifically it examines maternal mortality and obstetric care in situations of emergency. When exposed to extreme situations the risks of negative pregnancy- and delivey outcomes are increased. Data was collected from seconday sources and from interviews with health staff with experiences from humanitarian work in the field. The findings were analyzed using a theoretical framework explaining maternal mortality be referring to both direct and indirect causes. The two theoretical models used in the study are similar and reminds of each other when explaining maternal mortality. One is based on the assumption that an obstetric complication has occurred and differnt delays in recieving care is the main cause maternal mortality, whilst the other theory is more in depth and elaborates the underlying causes. The first theory is used a base tto analyze the data after which the other theory is applied in order to introdue a deeper dimension to the analysis. The findings suggest that direct causes accounts for 80 per cent of all maternal deaths, homorrhage being the largest, including in disasters. Further causes are infections, unsafe abortions, eclampsia and obstructed labor. Also, underlying socail factors such as gender inequality indirectly has a negative impact on maternal mortality. Moreover, findings suggest that obstetric care is prioritized in disaster relief response.

Abstract:
Aims: This study investigated perceived changes in knowledge and confidence to manage specific obstetric emergency situations following completion of an Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO) course in Australia. Methodology: A prospective repeated measures survey design was employed using three questionnaires. From a sampling frame of all course attendees from May to September 2010 throughout Australia (N = 242), 68% (n = 165) completed pre- and immediate post-course questionnaires, and 61% (n = 101) completed a six-week post-course questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were reported as median and interquartile range. Statistical data were analysed using a Friedman two way repeated measures analysis of variance and the Wilcoxon signed rank test. All p levels lower than .05 were considered significant. Results: There was a significant overall improvement in perceived knowledge and confidence of the recommended management of all 17 emergency situations immediately post-course (p < .001) and at six weeks post-course (p < .001) when compared to pre-course levels. However, a significant decrease in knowledge and confidence for many emergency situations from immediately post-course to six weeks post-course (p < .05) was also observed. The midwives believed the interprofessional aspects of the course had increased their ability to learn (p = .014) and practise new skills (p < .001), work as a team member (p = .002) and communicate effectively with different professional colleagues (p = .008), whereas the doctors experienced no significant changes in their beliefs regarding these variables. The midwives also significantly increased their confidence in all four aspects of interprofessional interaction measured at six weeks following the course (p < .001), whereas the doctors only perceived a significant increase in confidence that their clinical decisions were respected by the midwives with whom they worked (p = .016). Conclusions: These results indicate that completion of the ALSO course in Australia has a positive effect on the knowledge and confidence of doctors and midwives to manage obstetric emergencies. There was also evidence that the course influenced midwives‟ confidence when working and communicating within an interprofessional team.

Abstract:
Obstetric emergencies account for the majority of causes of maternal death. The major causes of death in obstetric emergencies include bleeding, pregnancy induced hypertension, cord prolapse, shoulder dystocia, poor progress, placenta abruptio, placenta praevia and amniotic fluid embolism. A qualitative, descriptive phenomelogical research design was used to explore and describe the lived experiences of the advanced midwives regarding the management of obstetric emergencies in the MOUs of Gauteng province, South Africa. Semi-structured individual interviews were used to collect data from thirteen (13) advanced midwives who were purposively selected and had been working in the MOUs for two years and more after obtaining their qualifications. The seven Collaizi’s procedural steps were utilized for data analysis. Measures to ensure the trustworthiness of the study was adhered to. The findings revealed that, advanced midwives experiences psychosocial stress because of unconducive working environment and higher expectations from the patience and their families. They demonstrated professionalism even when the midwives showed lack of professionalism. In conclusion, unfavorable working conditions experienced by midwives had a negative impact in the management of pregnant women during obstetric emergencies. Management should support advanced midwives with necessary resources that will enable them to perform their duties effectively.<br>Dissertation (MNurs)--University of Pretoria, 2021.<br>Nursing Science<br>MNurs<br>Restricted

Abstract:
Malgré de nombreuses initiatives entreprises par le gouvernement au cours des dernières années, la mortalité maternelle demeure un véritable fléau au Cameroun. Pour cette raison, une recherche a été conduite pour déterminer l'ampleur de la mortalité maternelle dans les 7 maternités de troisième niveau du Cameroun, décrire les différentes étapes d'une intervention visant à améliorer le système de référence et la prise en charge des urgences obstétricales et évaluer son effet sur la mortalité maternelle.La recherche a été menée en trois phases. Une revue rétrospective des données agrégées de la période 2004 à 2006 a été réalisée incluant tous les accouchements, les complications obstétricales, les césariennes et les décès maternels. Ensuite une intervention de 33 mois a été mise en place dans 22 maternités périphériques ainsi que dans 3 maternités de troisième niveau où la mortalité maternelle était importante. L'évaluation de l'intervention a été faite à travers la méthode quasi expérimentale combinant l'étude avant-Après à l'étude ici-Ailleurs. Deux ans après l'intervention, les décès maternels enregistrés dans les 3 maternités cibles avaient diminué de plus de la moitié (P=0,000001). Le taux de létalité des complications obstétricales observé dans les mêmes maternités est passé de 2,2 à 0,7% (P=0,000001). Par ailleurs, le nombre de décès observés chez les femmes référées avait diminué et le taux de létalité était inférieur à 1%. Les résultats de la recherche mettent en évidence les conséquences du renforcement des compétences des prestataires, de l'amélioration du système de référence et de la qualité des soins sur la mortalité maternelle<br>Despite numerous initiatives undertaken by health authorities in the past years, maternal mortality remains a major public health issue in Cameroon. Against this background, research was conducted (i) to determine the maternal mortality patterns in 7 tertiary maternity centers in Cameroon, (ii) to document various stages of an intervention for improving referral system and the management of obstetric emergencies and (ii) evaluate the effect of these measures on maternal mortality and propose future actions. The research was conducted in three phases. A retrospective review of the aggregate data for the period 2004-2006 was performed including all births, obstetric complications, caesarean sections and maternal deaths. Then 33 months intervention has been set up in 22 peripheral maternities and in three tertiary maternity centers where maternal mortality was very high. The evaluation of the intervention was made using the quasi-Experimental design. This method combined the pre- and post- intervention study as well as the study of the maternities where there was intervention compared to the control group. Two years after the intervention, maternal deaths recorded in the target tertiary maternity centers decreased by more than half (P = 0.000001). The case fatality rate decreased from 2.2 to 0.7% in the same group (P = 0.000001). Moreover, the number of deaths among referred women decreased significantly and the case fatality rate was less than 1%. The research findings highlight the impact of capacity building providers, improvement of the referral system and quality of care on maternal mortality

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents findings from a qualitative study of the emergence and early clinical translation of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) in the UK. Drawing from interviews with a range of experts and users I track the enrolment and translation of this new prenatal testing technology across a variety of clinical and social spaces. I show how encounters with NIPD prompt deep critical examination of the moral, social and political implications - not only of the technology - but of the established clinical practices (routine and specialised prenatal testing) and specific policy contexts (prenatal screening programmes) within which NIPD has begun to sediment. I explore how, as NIPD advances at a rapid pace and emerges within a culturally and politically complex context, the technology both aligns with and disrupts routine practices of prenatal screening and diagnosis. I show how, as the technology divides into two major strands - NIPD and NIPT - at an early stage of development, and before becoming naturalised/normalised within the clinic, scientists, clinicians and policy makers attempt to pin down, define and ‘fix’ the technology, drawing upon and engaging in substantive practices of division, categorisation and classification. I explore ambiguities present within such accounts, highlighting dissenting voices and moments of problematisation, and following this, I show how the ‘troubling’ of boundaries prompts much examination of ethical and social concerns. As a location within which interviewees explored more contentious issues, I show how abortion emerged as central to the discussion of NIPD. I proceed to show how institutionalised, professionalised bioethical debate dominates mainstream discourse, and I explain how a particular construction of the informed, individual choice-maker is mobilised in order to locate moral and political responsibility for testing in the hands of individuals, and to distance political/organisational structures from entanglement with problematic concerns. I explore how clinicians and patients respond to this positioning in multiple ways, both assimilating and questioning the mainstream discourse of ‘informed choice’. In conclusion, I highlight the broader (bio)political aspects of NIPD’s emergence and translation within prenatal screening and diagnosis.

Abstract:
In the realm of obstetric emergencies, perimortem hysterotomy stands as a rare but crucial intervention, employed in dire circumstances to salvage both maternal and fetal lives. This procedure, involving the surgical delivery of a fetus from a mother in cardiac arrest, presents a unique set of challenges and ethical considerations for healthcare providers. This case report delves into the intricate details surrounding a perimortem hysterotomy performed under emergent conditions, exploring the clinical decision-making process, procedural intricacies, and outcomes. Through this narrative, we aim to shed light on the complexities of managing obstetric emergencies, emphasizing the critical role of timely intervention and interdisciplinary collaboration in optimizing patient outcomes.

Abstract:
Obstetric caring demands a continuous process of information sharing between health professionals. However, the lack of communication between points of assistance has allowed for an accumulation of local data without the benefits of data interoperability. The study’s objective is to develop an information model with essential obstetric data to foster the continuity of information. An exploratory research involved discussions of fictitious cases of obstetric emergencies and ninety electronic medical records (EMR) were used to validate the model. The minimum antenatal dataset entries was structured into nine sections, and fifty-six data entries. The development of an information model, based on the standard of interoperability, has the potential to overcome the informality of EMR.

Abstract:
Nos ultimos anos, a emergencia e reemergencia de doencas infecciosas como a COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) tem sido alvo de grande preocupacao social em todo o mundo, nao apenas pela letalidade, mas pelo impacto social e economico. Em media, 30.055.710 da populacao mundial apresentou confirmacao para COVID-19. Segundo dados do Sistema Unico de Saude, o indice de casos no Brasil foi de 4.558.068, sendo 5% representados por gestantes e lactentes. Somente a regiao Centro-Oeste notificou 26,4%, dos casos detectados de COVID-19, e Goias 26,8% em gestantes e lactentes. A OMS preconiza que a assistencia ao nascimento deva ocorrer com o minimo possivel de intervencao. Assim, espera-se que a equipe de saude no momento do parto seja capaz de resgatar a fisiologia do parto, incentivar a relacao de harmonia entre os avancos tecnologicos e a qualidade das relacoes humanas, bem como destacar o respeito aos direitos de cidadania. Objetivo: revisar a literatura acerca da producao de conhecimento sobre violencia obstetrica em tempos de pandemia de COVID-19 e elucidar as contribuicoes para o enfrentamento dessa problematica. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo de revisao da literatura entre novembro de 2019 e 2020, nas bases de dados eletronicas da Biblioteca Virtual de Saude (BVS): Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciencias da Saude (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (Medline), e Base de Dados em Enfermagem (BDENF) e na SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). Resultado: Para a redacao final utilizou-se 07 artigos cientificos, que apos analise deram origem a 02 categorias tematicas a saber: COVID-19 e violencia obstetrica: silencio, bramido e medo, e COVID-19 e violencia obstetrica: um olhar para alem da pandemia. Consideracoes Finais: Observou-se que a producao cientifica relacionada a violencia obstetrica tem emergido gradativamente, e tomando proporcoes sombrias nesse periodo de pandemia de COVID-19. Assim, tornam-se prementes intervencoes assertivas que contribuam para garantia dos direitos humanos dessas vulneraveis, com foco na recuperacao da autonomia, prevencao de danos obstetricos, emocionais e fisicos. Almeja-se que os nossos achados contribuam para a universalizacao do cuidado a essas mulheres e sua familia de modo a fornecer condicoes capazes de oferecer os condicionantes para a construcao da possibilidade de superacao das vulnerabilidades que vao alem da COVID-19. Por fim, espera-se que os dados aqui suscitados possam contribuir para que o silencio, bramido e medo gerado pela violencia obstetrica e suas interfaces com a saude sexual e reprodutiva dessas mulheres nao sejam mais relatados.,

Abstract:
The problem of congenital and hereditary pathology continues to be relevant at the present time. Over the past decade, it has acquired serious social and medical significance. In the healthcare system of many countries of the world, including Belarus, the prevention of this pathology, based on modern achievements in medical genetics, obstetrics and perinatology, has become a priority. Congenital malformations belong to the group of eco-associated diseases, which are indicators of the state of the environment. One of the reasons for the emergence of teratogenic effects are environmental factors of anthropogenic origin: environmental pollution with mutagenic substances.

An observation checklist for facility-based normal labor and delivery practices: The Galaa study. Population Council, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2003.1000.

Abstract:
Globally, almost 515,000 women die every year from maternal causes related to pregnancy or childbirth. Most research focuses on identifying high-risk cases or managing obstetric emergencies, in an attempt to reduce women’s risk of dying of maternal causes. While facility practices for normal labor were extensively examined and revised in Europe and North America in the 1970s and 1980s, little is known about facility practices for normal labor in many parts of the developing world. It is important for practitioners and policymakers to know the nature and frequency of common facility practices for normal labor. Substandard care has been identified by the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population as the leading avoidable factor contributing to maternal deaths in Egypt. Much progress has been achieved regarding management of obstetric emergencies, however facility practices for normal labor are unexplored and undocumented in Egypt. With the support and collaboration of El Galaa hospital staff, a study was conducted in 2001 and yielded comprehensive data. This monograph presents one of the data collection tools—the observation checklist—and describes the process of developing the checklist and a critical analysis of its performance.
