Abstract
Objective:To study the perinatal and maternal outcome in cases of antepartum haemorrhage(APH) at Government general hospital, Guntur. Materials and methods:A retrospective study was undertaken on maternal and perinatal outcome in 100 women with antepartum haemorrhageafter 28 weeks of gestation admitted to Government General hospital, Gunturbetween October 2016and September 2017. Results :Abruptio placenta(AP) formed the largest group(55%) followed by placenta previa(PP). Caesarean section was the commonest mode of delivery(55%)in patients of APH. Maternal mortality was 1%. Perinatal mortality was 27%. Maternal and perinatal morbidity was quite high. Conclusion:Antepartum haemorrhage is an important cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, despite modern improvements in obstetric practice andtransfusion services. The initial management of antepartum haemorrhage shouldconcentrate on resuscitation and accurate diagnosis. Every unit should have a clear protocol for themanagement of massive haemorrhage, which should be regularly updated andrehearsed.
