Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of pelvic packing on the control of intractable postpartum hemorrhage after emergency perinatal hysterectomy (EPH). Methods: Eleven cases with complete clinical data of pelvic packing due to failure of hemostasis after EPH were collected to evaluate the outcome, complications, hospital stay of pregnant women, and to analyze the factors affecting the effect of pelvic packing. The cases included patients who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University after pelvic packing treatment in the other hospital due to continuous bleeding after EPH or who were referred to our hospital for pelvic packing treatment due to continuous bleeding after EPH from January 2014 to August 2021. Results: The median gestational week of 11 pregnant women was 38.3 weeks(38.0-39.9 weeks) , and the methods of termination of pregnancy were cesarean section in 7 cases (7/11) and vaginal delivery in 4 cases (4/11). The median time between postpartum hemorrhage and pelvic tamponade was 10 hours (5-57 hours), the median amount of bleeding was 8 500 ml(4 800-15 600 ml) , the median number of pelvic tamponade was 3 pieces (2-7 pieces), and the median retention time of gauze pad was 6.0 days (3.0-6.0 days). The median frequency of laparotomy in this pregnancy was 3 times (2-3 times), with a maximum of 4 among the 11 cases, the first pelvic packing was successful in hemostasis in 9 cases, and the final successful treatment in all of the 11 cases. All parturients had hemorrhagic shock (11/11) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (11/11) before pelvic packing. Other common complications were multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (9/11), cardiac arrest (4/11), deep vein thrombosis (3/11), septic shock (3/11), and intestinal obstruction (1/11). All parturients took out the gauze after the coagulation function returned to normal and there was no active bleeding. The recovery time of coagulation function in 11 cases was 3 days (3-5 days), the retention time of gauze pad was 6 days (3-6 days), the median length of stay in intensive care unit was 14 days (11-26 days), and the median total length of stay was 22 days (16-49 days). Conclusions: Pelvic packing could be used as a temporary strategy for intractable postpartum hemorrhage after EPH, which provides a key time for injury control resuscitation for patients with unstable vital signs. This technology provides an opportunity for referral to superior medical institutions and further treatment.

目的: 探讨围产期紧急子宫切除术(EPH)后盆腔填纱控制难治性产后出血的疗效。 方法: 回顾性分析2014年1月至2021年8月收治的EPH后因手术创面持续出血于外院行盆腔填纱治疗后转诊至广州医科大学附属第三医院,或因EPH后手术创面持续出血转诊至本院后行盆腔填纱治疗,有完整病历资料的11例产妇的临床资料,评估产妇的结局、并发症、住院时间,并分析影响盆腔填纱效果的因素。 结果: 11例产妇的中位分娩孕周为38.3周(38.0~39.9周),终止妊娠方式为剖宫产术分娩7例(7/11),阴道分娩4例(4/11)。产后出血距盆腔填纱的中位时间为10 h(5~57 h),中位出血量为8 500 ml(4 800~15 600 ml),中位盆腔填纱数量为3块(2~7块),中位纱垫留置时间为6.0 d(3.0~6.0 d)。本次妊娠中位开腹次数为3次(2~3次),最多开腹4次。11例产妇中首次填纱成功止血9例(9/11),最终救治成功11例(11/11)。所有产妇均在实施盆腔填纱前发生失血性休克(11/11)及弥漫性血管内凝血(11/11),其他常见并发症为多器官功能障碍综合征(9/11)、心脏骤停(4/11)、深静脉血栓形成(3/11)、感染性休克(3/11)和肠梗阻(1/11)。所有产妇均于凝血功能恢复且无活动性出血后取出填塞纱垫。11例产妇的中位凝血功能恢复时间为3 d(3~5 d),中位纱垫留置时间6 d(3~6 d),中位重症监护病房住院时间为14 d(11~26 d),中位总住院时间为22 d(16~49 d)。 结论: 盆腔填纱可以作为EPH后治疗难治性产后出血的临时措施,为生命体征不稳定者争取了损伤控制性复苏的关键时间,为转诊至上一级医疗机构及进一步治疗提供了机会。.
