HOW TO REDUCE ACCEPTED ESTIMATED BLOOD LOSS (EBL) IN CAESAREAN DELIVERYCONVENTIONAL VS. WITH MODIFICATIONS
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 28
Abstract
BACKGROUND In every caesarean delivery, blood vessels are cut as the surgeon opens the wall of the uterus to gain access to the baby. By modifications in some steps (five steps of modification), we reduced accepted estimated blood loss (EBL) even below normal with minimal complications in caesarean section. The aim of this study is to compare the Estimated Blood Loss (EBL) in two methods of LSCS (Lower Segment Caesarean Section). MATERIALS AND METHODS In the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, IPGME and R/ SSKM Hospital, West Bengal, India, 340 women were assessed and planned for caesarean delivery. They were categorised into Group A (Modification) and Group B (Conventional) with allocation of equal numbers in each group. RESULTS The results of individual groups (Gr- A and Gr- B) were tabulated and analysed for statistical significance and it has been observed that with modifications (Gr- A) had minimised blood loss, even less than accepted (p-value < 0.005), without any adverse effects to the health of mother and the baby. CONCLUSION Modifications in some steps during caesarean delivery leads to less blood loss; so these modifications should be incorporated or practiced regularly if required. Health personnel should be trained about it.
