“…These risks could be due to an increased risk of earlier and heavier bleeding. Our study findings were also comparable with those of Olive et al [17], Frederiksen et al [18], and McShane et al [19], who re- ported a significant rise in maternal morbidity in patients with prior CS.…”

“…(28) We found the rate of transfusion to be much lower in private hospitals compared with public, which is consistent with lower risk women giving birth in appropriate settings. (30)(31)(32) In Australia, tertiary obstetric care is only available in public hospitals. Tertiary hospitals had the highest rates of transfusion of platelets and coagulation factors, which may reflect increased complexity of cases in these hospitals.…”

Precis: Obstetric blood transfusions continue to increase, with most of these occurring in the birth admission in association with hemorrhage.Objectives: To identify trends in transfusion rates across pregnancy and the postnatal period, and identify risk factors for transfusion. 81% of these transfusions were associated with a diagnosis of hemorrhage. Women with bleeding/platelet disorders(vaginal RR= 7.8, CI 7.1-8.5, cesarean RR 8.7, CI 7.9-9.5) and placenta previa(vaginal RR=4.6, CI 3.7-5.8, cesarean 5.7, CI 5.2-6.2), were at highest risk of transfusion. Among vaginal births, increased risk was evident for forceps (RR=2.8, CI 2.6-3.0) or vacuum births (RR=1.9, CI 1.7-2.0) compared with non-operative births. Methods Conclusions:Rates of obstetric blood product transfusion have increased by 33% since 2001, with the majority of this associated with hemorrhage. Women with bleeding/platelet disorders and placenta previa are at increased risk of transfusion, and should be managed accordingly.

“…The reported prevalence of placenta previa [14,15,16,17] varies from 0.4 to 0.6%. The incidence is increasing mainly due to the high CS rate [18,19], as well as the rising number of assisted reproductive technique procedures [20,21].…”

Aim: To assess the efficacy of a uterine compression suture technique in controlling hemorrhage after removal of complete placenta previa during cesarean section. Methods: This prospective study was performed in a tertiary referral hospital and included 18 patients with postpartum hemorrhage following removal of complete placenta previa during elective cesarean section. All 18 patients underwent bilateral anteroposterior compression suture of the lower uterine segment. All patients were followed postpartum for evaluation of uterine cavity and menstrual cycles. Results: Anteroposterior compressive suture of the lower uterine segment achieved immediate complete hemostasis in all 18 patients. No surgical complication was observed. All patients recovered normal menstrual cycles. Normal patency of the uterine cavity was documented with sonohysterography in all patients at the 6-month follow-up visit. Conclusions: This quick and simple suture technique seems to be effective in stopping hemorrhage following complete placenta previa removal during cesarean section. Normal patency of the uterine cavity seems not to be impaired at medium-term follow-up.

Placenta praevia: maternal morbidity and place of birth

Abstract: For women with placenta praevia, the risk of major morbidity is high, yet 39% deliver in hospitals without immediate access to a 24-h blood bank. Australian guidelines on the appropriate level of care for women with placenta praevia are needed.
