Efficacy of carbetocin for preventing postpartum bleeding after cesarean section in twin pregnancy

AbstractUterine or hypogastric artery embolization is a useful alternative to hysterectomy in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.Puerpera requiring a bilateral hypogastric artery embolization for postpartum hemorrhage after cesarean section in a term twin pregnancy. Unexpected unilateral buttock necrosis appeared 5 days later. Treatment consisted of debridement, the use of vacuum-assisted closure therapy and skin grafting.Buttock necrosis is a rare complication after hypogastric artery embolization in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage.

Fetal Infection

Mirror syndrome is a rare but serious condition of pregnancy characterized by fetal hydrops of any cause and maternal edema that has severe maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In most cases, the pregnancy should be terminated to resolve the symptoms. Some cases with mirror syndrome resolve spontaneously due to the demise of the hydropic fetus or fetal infection with parvovirus. This case is a rare complicated mirror syndrome that managed conservatively up to 34 weeks and 3 days of gestation. This case was a unique Dichorionic Diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancy with mirror syndrome, that feticide of the hydropic fetus has resolved symptoms of mirror syndrome. Although the mother’s liver enzyme increased after 3 weeks of feticide, we managed to save pregnancy by conservative treatment until 34 weeks and 3 days of gestation. Finally, the mother had a cesarean section delivery. The baby is now 6 months old with normal neurodevelopmental parameters. This case suggests that preeclampsia can happen after feticide due to twin pregnancy and the retained placenta. If we consider this event, we can manage pregnancy conservatively as a preeclamptic patient.

Twin Pregnancies

Objective To investigate the effect of different methods of delivery on the outcome of twin pregnancies. Methods This is a retrospective cohort review of 627 twin pregnancies with delivery from January 2016 to December 2019. According to the clinical guidelines for cesarean section, the cesarean section and vaginal delivery groups were determined. Finally, the baseline information, delivery method, pregnancy outcome, and maternal and infant complications of the two groups were compared. Results For different delivery methods, the incidence of preeclampsia was significantly higher in the cesarean section group than in the vaginal delivery group (χ2 = 4.405, p < 0.05). There were 23 fetal growth ratios (FGR) in the cesarean section group, which were significantly higher than the vaginal delivery group (χ2 = 4.740, p < 0.05). However, the incidence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) in the vaginal delivery group was significantly higher than in the cesarean section group (χ2 = 5.235, p < 0.05). In addition, the volume of postpartum bleeding in the vaginal delivery group was significantly higher than in the cesarean section group (t = 4.723, p < 0.001). The neonatal weights and 5-minute Apgar scores of the vaginal delivery group were lower than the cesarean section group, and the difference was statistically significant. In the vaginal delivery group, 48 and 26 neonates were transferred to the intensive care and neonatal units, respectively, which were significantly higher than in the cesarean section group (χ2 = 5.001, p < 0.05). Conclusion The major complications of a twin pregnancy are gestational diabetes mellitus and PPROM. Cesarean section can reduce the rate of neonatal asphyxia in twins and improve the pregnancy outcome. Key Points

Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia

Abstract The study's objective was to identify HPA 1a–negative women and to offer them an intervention program aimed to reduce morbidity and mortality of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT). HPA 1 typing was performed in 100 448 pregnant women. The HPA 1a–negative women were screened for anti–HPA 1a. In immunized women, delivery was performed by Cesarean section 2 to 4 weeks prior to term, with platelets from HPA 1a–negative donors reserved for immediate transfusion if petechiae were present and/or if platelet count was less than 35 × 109/L. Of the women screened, 2.1% were HPA 1a negative, and anti–HPA 1a was detected in 10.6% of these. One hundred seventy pregnancies were managed according to the intervention program, resulting in 161 HPA 1a–positive children. Of these, 55 had severe thrombocytopenia (< 50 × 109/L), including 2 with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). One woman with a twin pregnancy missed the follow-up and had one stillborn and one severely thrombocytopenic live child. In 15 previous prospective studies (136 814 women) there were 51 cases of severe NAIT (3 intrauterine deaths and 7 with ICH). Acknowledging the limitation of comparing with historic controls, implementation of our screening and intervention program seemed to reduce the number of cases of severe NAIT-related complications from 10 of 51 to 3 of 57.

AbstractWe described a case of pregnancy, delivery and peurperium of 28 years old multipara with twins pregnancy in bicornuate, unicollis uterus. Each fetus was placed in separate horn of uterus. Biological mature pregnancy was delivered by cesarean section. During the peurperium the involution disturbances of one of the uterus horns were observed. The case was discussed in context of other similar anomalies.
