 Seven Ways to Control Postpartum Hemorrhage
Massive uncontrolled hemorrhage after childbirth is the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the United States and one of the most common causes of maternal death.
During her initial hemorrhage, the bleeding failed to respond to bilateral uterine artery embolization, so surgical ligation of the uterine and utero-ovarian arteries was performed and that stopped the bleeding.
Recombinant human erythropoietin is useful in: (1) the antepartum management of the severely anemic patient at risk for hemorrhage; (2) the antepartum management of the non-anemic patient at risk for hemorrhage to allow for autologous blood transfusion; and, (3) the postpartum augmentation of anemia due to hemorrhage.

A spontaneous abortion, infected abortion, hemorrhagic corpus luteum of pregnancy, and uterine incarceration are additional early pregnancy complications that frequently present to the emergency department (ED).
Rupture of the luteal cyst or hemorrhage into the corpus luteum may occur in early pregnancy and cause a clinical picture indistinguishable from that of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, in terms of the patient's menstrual history and physical examination.

Because marrow reserve is limited, anemia may result from massive hemorrhage associated with spontaneous or traumatic rupture or incision of a large blood vessel, erosion of an artery by lesions (eg, peptic ulcer, neoplasm), or failure of normal hemostasis.
The pace of the hemorrhage determines the degree of symptoms.
During and immediately after hemorrhage, the RBC count, Hb, and Hct may be deceptively high because of vasoconstriction.

 Severity of Genital Cutting Is Linked to Complications Experienced Later in Life
Compared with women who had undergone excision, women who had been infibulated were more likely to have gynecologic or obstetric complications later in life, and those who had undergone clitoridectomy were less likely to experience such difficulties.
In a logistic regression analysis, the likelihood that a woman had symptoms of a gynecologic complication was related to the type of cutting she had experienced.
Data collection on gynecologic complications was limited to women who had experienced genital cutting, which made it impossible to compare cut and uncut women.

Larger hemorrhages, as one would expect, cause a patient to have a much graver prognosis because of both the amount of brain tissue damaged and the tremendous increases in intracranial pressure caused by an extensive hemorrhage.
The putamenal or external capsular hemorrhage causes a syndrome that one would expect from pressure applied to the internal capsule fibers that traverse medially to the putamen.
In a classic putamenal hemorrhage the patient complains of a headache, the face begins to sag, and speech becomes slurred or aphasic.

RESULTS: Operative complication rates and ranges for total abdominal hysterectomy were infection 3.0% (3.0% to 20.0%), hemorrhage 2.0% (2.0% to 15.4%), and adjacent organ injury 1.0% (0.7% to 2.0%).
Those for subtotal hysterectomy were infection 1.4% (1.0% to 5.0%), hemorrhage 2.0% (0.7% to 4.0%), and adjacent organ injury 0.7% (0.6% to 1.0%).
IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nursing interventions to increase breast and gynecologic cancer screening should be ethnic-specific, with particular attention to the meaning of body awareness to American Indian women and trait anxiety and perceived risk to African American women.

Most of the laparoscopic surgeries were performed by a team consisting of gynecologic oncology attending with extensive laparoscopic experience, one fellow and one resident.
CONCLUSION: Compared with laparotomy, the laparoscopic approach for treatment of gynecologic malignancies requiring radical hysterectomy is associated with less blood loss and shorter hospital stay.
Total laparoscopic radical hysterectomy seems to be a safe alternative to the traditional open abdominal approach.  Prospective studies are needed to show equivalency of these two approaches in terms of progression free and overall survival.

 New Options Can Spare Women From Hysterectomy
March 28, 2000 (San Diego) -- Doctors at Stanford University are using established techniques in new ways to treat one of the most common gynecologic complaints as well as one of the most serious obstetrical conditions.
Researchers say these procedures can spare women from having hysterectomies, either to prevent problems from uterine fibroids or to spare their lives when they hemorrhage after delivering a baby.
Although thousands of gynecologic patients have now undergone uterine fibroid embolization, it still requires some training on the part of the interventional radiologist performing it, as does the procedure to stop hemorrhaging after childbirth.

 UpToDate Complications of gynecological surgery
— Extensive gynecologic surgery often entails meticulous dissection near the bladder, rectum, ureters, and great vessels of the pelvis.
Understandably, the more common complications from this surgery relate to injuries to these viscera and occur during extensive resections for the treatment of cancer or when anatomy is distorted due to infection or endometriosis.
When hemorrhage occurs, unless the site is obvious and accessible, it is best to stop the bleeding immediately with direct pressure, usually using a finger.

The effect of gynecologic radium- and x-ray-therapy on the thrombocyte count and the agglutination power of thrombocytes was studied continuously in a series of patients.
A considerable decrease of the thrombocytes in the third week of treatment was observed, close to the danger of hemorrhage, but being reversed spontaneously at the end of the irradiation.
The studies demonstrate that noxious effects of the gynecological irradiation may only occur on the thrombocytic system.

 Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Placental abruption
This condition is dangerous for the fetus because of oxygen deprivation, too, since the mother's blood is the fetus' only source of oxygen.
Because the abrupting placenta is attached to the umbilical cord, and the umbilical cord is an extension of the fetus' circulatory system, the fetus is also at risk of hemorrhaging.
The fetus may die from these stresses, or may be born with damage due to oxygen deprivation.

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is bleeding inside or around the ventricles, the spaces in the brain containing the cerebral spinal fluid.
Intraventricular hemorrhage is most common in premature babies, especially very low birthweight babies weighing less than 1,500 grams (3 pounds, 5 ounces).
Bleeding can occur because blood vessels in a premature baby's brain are very fragile and immature and easily rupture.
