Overview of Puerperal Sepsis, Challenges & Management – Hit On The Nail
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Puerperal sepsis is one of the five leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Pueperal sepsis accounts for 8% of maternal mortality throughout the world. So, the basic understanding regarding pueperium will help us in dealing with pueperial sepsis more efficiently and effectively. The physiological changes of pregnancy and the puerperium can obscure the signs and symptoms of sepsis in the obstetric population. A high level of suspicion is, therefore, needed in the care for the sick pregnant patient. If sepsis is suspected, timely administration of antibiotics, sepsis care bundles, multidisciplinary discussion and early involvement of senior staff members are important to improve outcome.
