{"title":"Active management of third stage of labour: practice and associated factors among obstetric care providers’ at health facilities in Kambata-Tembaro Zone, Southern Ethiopia 2018","authors":"Abebe Alemu","doi":"10.15406/ipcb.2019.05.00154","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15406/ipcb.2019.05.00154","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Every year, more than half a million women die with complications related to child birth and pregnancy. Worldwide, bleeding after child birth is the leading direct cause of approximately one third of maternal death. Practicing good active management of third stage of labour prevents bleeding after child birth. But, it was estimated that annually 1.4 million deliveries didn’t get good active management of third stage of labour. Thus, this study was aimed to assess obstetric care providers practice and associated factors in Kembata-Tembaro Zone, Southern Ethiopia 2018. Methods: Institutional-based cross-sectional study design was used. One hundred seventy one study participants were enrolled using simple random sampling technique. To collect data, questionnaires and checklists were used. Descriptive statistic was used to describe study participants. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify associated factors with practice of active management of third stage of labour. Results: Magnitude of good practice of active management of third stage among respondents was 29.8% only. The factors that significantly associated were, knowledge respondents on active management of third stage of labour (AOR=4.88, 95%CI: 2.10-11.33), pre-service or in-service training (AOR=4.760, 95% CI: 1.89-11.96) and service year (AOR=2.51, 95%CI: 1.07-5.92). Conclusion: The magnitude of good practice of active management of third stage of labour among respondents’ was low. Thus, improving practice of active management of third stage of labour among obstetric care providers needs great attention by all stakeholders. Proving in-service training to obstetric care providers may improve practice towards active management of third stage labour. *Corresponding author: Abebe Alemu, Department of Midwifery, College of Health Sciences and Medicine, Wachamo University, Southern, Ethiopia, Tel: +251913672730; Fax: +2514665540110; E-mail: aalemu72@yahoo.com Received: January 24, 2019; Accepted: March 20, 2019; Published: March 27, 2019 Citation: Wudneh A, Dheresa M, Demena M, Alemu A (2019) Active Management of Third Stage of Labour: Practice and Associated Factors among Obstetric Care Providers’ at Health Facilities in Kembata-Tembaro Zone, Southern Ethiopia 2018.

Patients and methods: Pregnant women at early third trimester (28-32 weeks) attending for antenatal care unit were evaluated by history, examinations, and ultrasound for fetal assessment. Vaginal swabs were taken from posterior fornix for bacteriological and parasitological examination to determine nature and type of vaginitis. Patients either with evident vaginitis (Group I) or without vaginitis (Group II) were followed up till delivery. Neonatal problems were also assessed. Results: The incidence of vaginitis at Tanta University hospitals was 51.57%. The incidence is more in patients with low education, non-occupied and those from rural areas. Bacterial vaginitis was the most common type (30.63%). Preterm labour occurred in 33 (16.75%) in vaginitis group compared to 10 (11.76%) in no vaginitis group. PROM occurred 60 (30.46%) in vaginitis group while occurred in 15 (17.67%) in no vaginitis group. Conclusion: Vaginitis has a greater incidence in pregnant women attending antenatal care at Tanta University hospitals and is linked to some undesired outcomes. Treatment of vaginitis in pregnancy should be advice to reduce these poor outcomes.","PeriodicalId":300833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pregnancy & Child Birth","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123597739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meconium peritonitis is a rare prenatal disease with an increased rate of morbidity and mortality in the neonatal period. Neonatal studies suggest a prevalence of 1 in 35,000 live births.1 Meconium peritonitis (MP) can be diagnosed if a hyperecogenic area is found in the stomach of the fetus in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The etiology of MP is hought to be the result of a sterile chemical reaction resulting from bowel (ileum) perforation in utero. There is usually an intense inflammation from meconium peritonitis, which may incite calcification along the surface of bowel or peritoneum. In time the inflammatory response may seal the perforation or alternatively may form a pseudocyst or wall of meconium. This pseudocyst has a thin and often calcified wall. The other respons of inflamatory response are ascites and fibrosis. The end result of this process is three types of meconium peritonitis: fibroadhesif, cystic, diffuse and healing.","PeriodicalId":300833,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pregnancy & Child Birth","volume":"1220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116484750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So there is need of skilled assistance during labour is the very important and key service to reduce the rates of maternal mortality and morbidity rates. The partograph (sometimes known as partogram) is usually a pre-printed paper form on which labour observation are recorded. The aim of partograph is to provide a pictorial overview of labour, to alert midwives and obstetricians to deviations in maternal or fetal wellbeing and labour progress. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding partograph among staff nurses. Material & Methods: The study was conducted in tertiary care Medical institute of Amritsar. Total 40 Staff Nurses were selected by convenience sampling technique those were working in obstetric & gynaecological ward of SGRD hospital, vallah, Amritsar. A self structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of staff nurses regarding Partograph. The data was gathered and analysed by calculating the frequency, percentage, mean, mean percentage, standard deviation and chi square. Results: The study concluded that 57.5% of staff nurses having average knowledge, 25% staff nurses having good knowledge and remaining, 17.5 % staff nurses having poor knowledge regarding partograph.

Among those emergencies, hemorrhagic shock status was diagnosed in 61 female patients, i.e. a hospital-based frequency estimated at 3.1%. Patients’ mean age was 27.0 ± 6.3 years. 26.2% of those patients were between 20 and 24 years old. The mortality rate of hemorrhagic shock was 11.5%. All causes combined, if we consider the 16 deaths registered in the medical unit during the same time period, the share of mortality associated with hemorrhagic shock was 43.75%. After adjustment, the risk factors significantly associated with maternal death cases were uterine rupture (p=0.0000), coagulation disorders (p=0.0000) and Glasgow score below 9 (p=0.0285). \u0000Conclusion: Obstetrical hemorrhagic shock was common in ZAGAZIG maternity university hospital.
