Blood Pressure Variation During Different Stages of Normal Delivery
Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: Present study was carried out to determine the variation of Blood Pressure (BP) during different stages of normal delivery and the effect of Oxytocin on BP to help in establishing better perinatal care towards achieving the goal of healthy mother and baby. Materials and method: Hundred cases of normal delivery done at Nalanda Medical College Hospital, Patna were evaluated. BP was recorded at the time of admission, at onset of labour, after full dilatation of cervix, after delivery of baby, after oxytocin injection,and during puerperium. Results: Baseline mean Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were 117± 5.56 and 77.92 ± 5.63 mmHg respectively. There was significant rise in SBP and DBP at onset of labour (122.76.±4.82 & 82.20± 4.82 mmHg respectively, p <0.05). SBP and DBP falls significantly after Oxytocin injection (114.40±6.47 & 75.26±3.19 mmHg). Conclusion: There is wide variation in BP during normal delivery and it falls significantly after Oxytocin injection. Close monitoring of BP during normal delivery may result in better perinatal outcome.
