Objective To explore maternal health services utilization in rural areas in Rongchang County, and to analyze the influencing factors. Methods Seven hundred pregnant women were enrolled by stratified cluster sampling. The data was analyzed in SAS 8.2. Results Ninety-five percent of pregnant women had an antenatal examination, 69.3% had it for 5 times or more, and 75.4% received checking in the earlier stage of pregnancy; 98.3% were delivered in hospital, 26.3% had postpartum visit 3 times or more, and 16.7% had been systematically managed. The main influencing factors of systematic management rate were family yearly income before pregnancy whether or not the patient participated in the new rural cooperative medical scheme, and the number of pregnancies. Conclusion The maternal systematic management rate in the county has yet to be improved. Health education to improve prenatal care and postnatal visit status should be strengthened, and women should be guided to participate in the new rural cooperative medical scheme.
Objective To evaluate the evidence-based prevention and treatment of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) for parturient women. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2006), Medline (Jan. 1980 to Oct. 2006) and CBM-disc (Jan. 1980 to Oct. 2006) to identify current best evidence on the prevention and treatment of PDPH for parturient women. The quality of available evidence was critically appraised.Results We identified 2 Cochrane systematic reviews, 2 meta-analyses and 9 randomized controlled trials. Evidence indicated that posture, fluid, and pharmacological managements had no significant effect on PDPH except epidural blood patch. The selection of appropriate spinal needle and the technique of needle insertion may reduce the incidence of PDPH, whereas the effect of intrathecal saline infusion and catheter insertion need further clinical validation. Conclusions Epidural blood patch has definite therapeutic effect on PDPH. Appropriate spinal needle and insertion technique may effectively prevent PDPH for parturient women.
目的 探讨高龄初产妇临产前的心理状态，了解其负性心理原因，及时给予护理干预，使其顺利渡过围生期。 方法 2010年6月－2011年9月，将在待产且年龄≥35岁的60例初产妇归为高龄组，随机选取同期住院的适龄初产妇60例作为对照组，应用焦虑自评量表（SAS）、抑郁自评量表（SDS）及症状自评量表（SCL-90），对高龄初产妇进行产前心理评估及检测血中肾上腺素（E）和去甲肾上腺素（NE）水平。 结果 高龄初产妇产前的SAS和SDS评分及E和NE水平，SCL-90量表中总分及躯体化、强迫、焦虑、抑郁因子分与适龄组比较，差异有统计学意义（P＜0.01）；SAS评分与E、NE水平，SDS评分与E、NE水平均呈正相关，相关系数分别为：0.378、0.402、0.384、0.369（P＜0.01）。 结论 高龄初产妇分娩前多数存在不同程度的负性心理，应根据其不同情况给予相应的心理干预以促进产妇顺利渡过围生期。

Methods We retrospectively analyzed 46 cases of maternal death with medical disputes which were collected by West China Center of Forensic Medicine Service in Sichuan between January 1999 and December 2008. Results Most maternal deaths occurred over 30 years old. They most frequently happened during the peri-natal period (87.0%). The causes of death included obstetric hemorrhagic shock in 21 cases (45.7%), embolism-like diseases in 8 cases (17.4%), infectious diseases in 5 cases (10.8%) and other reasons in 12 cases (26.1%). Among all the 46 cases of medical disputes, 8 (17.4%) were not due to medical malpractices, while the other 38 cases (82.6%) had something to do with such medical malpractices as delayed or inappropriate treatment, misdiagnosis and so on. Most of the malpractices in these cases involved medical institutions at a county level (54.3%). Conclusion Forensic judicatory appraisal is important to resolve medical disputes of maternal death by finding out the cause of death, clarifying the medical responsibility and clearing the cause of medical disputes.
Objective To analyze the relation between the mode of delivery and postpartum lower extremity deep venous thrombosis （DVT）， and discuss the therapy methods. Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with postpartum lower extremity DVT from 2006 to 2012 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were 15 897 patients with the delivery， of whom were 10 097 cases of cesarean section and 5 800 cases of spontaneous delivery， the incidence rate of lower extremity DVT in the patients with cesarean section was significantly higher than that in the patients with spontaneous delivery〔0.41% （41/10 097） versus 0.12% （7/5 800）， χ2=9.94，P＜0.005〕. The higher incidence rate of cesarean section， the higher incidence rate of lower extremity DVT， which was a positive correlation between them （rs=0.87，P＜0.05）. Forty-three cases were only treated by drug therapy， 2 cases were performed operation combined with drug therapy， and 5 cases were placed the inferior vena cava filter. Forty-eight cases were cured and discharged. Conclusions The incidence rate of lower extremity DVT of cesarean section is higher as compared with the spontaneous delivery. The thrombolysis and （or） anticoagulation therapy is an effective way in the treatment for DVT. Controlling indications of cesarean section and early postpartum out-of-bed can decrease the DVT.
ObjectiveTo discuss clinical characteristics and nursing countermeasure of pregnant/delivery women with tuberculosis. MethodsFrom January 2012 to December 2013, 52 cases of pregnant women complicated with tuberculosis were included. We offered specific nursing according to the psychological counseling, reasonable administration, diet nursing, fever and prevention of hospital infection on the base of their clinical features, and then analyzed the effect. ResultsIn 52 patients who had undergone the tuberculosis and obsterrics and gynecology treatment, 4 puerperal patients died of severe pneumonia and multiple organ failure; in 48 gestational patients with tuberculosis, 23 early-middle term patients accept termination of pregnancy, and in 25 middle-late term patients, 3 had full-term natural labor, 4 underwent full-term cesarean section, 5 had premature labor, and 13 continued the pregnacy. Sixteen neonatus (including 4 given at the other hospitals) had normal results of physical examination without any deformity, in whom 5 had low body weight (body weight less than 2500 g), with negative results of tuberculin test and the result of 3-moth follow-up was normal. Three months after the anti-tuberculosis treatment, the lesion was obviously absorbed in 25 patients and in 23 patients within half of a year. No patients had hospital infection. ConclusionNursing care of pregnant patients with tuberculosis should strengthen the guidance on the patients health education, improve their compliance and self-protection knowledge. Also should strengthen the basic level medical personnel training and improve the ability of early diagnosis of tuberculosis and early treatment to reduce maternal mortality.
ObjectiveTo explore the corresponding intervention measures to reduce maternal mortality rate by analyzing the causes and problems of maternal deaths. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze all cases of maternal mortality from January 2005 to June 2013 in West China Second University Hospital. ResultsAmong the 14 cases of maternal deaths, the main diseases of the patients were pregnancy complicated with heart disease, hypertensive disorders, obstetric hemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism and ectopic pregnancy. Four cases got prescriptive prenatal care during pregnancy, accounting for 28.6% (4/14), while 10 cases did not, accounting for 71.4% (10/14). Six patients died in prenatal period which accounted for 42.9% (6/14), while 8 died in postnatal period which accounted for 57.1% (6/14) and 5 died within 24 hours which accounted for 62.5% (5/8). Seven underwent cesarean section and 6 fetuses survived. Two went through trial of labor and no fetus survived. There was no ordered postmortem. ConclusionIntensifying education of prenatal care during pregnancy, improving quality of obstetrical service and diathesis of healthcare professionals, strengthening the supervision of high-risk pregnancy and timely choosing the time and manner of delivery are the main measures to decrease the maternal mortality.
Wearable devices are used in the new design of the maternal health care system to detect electrocardiogram and oxygen saturation signal while smart terminals are used to achieve assessments and input maternal clinical information. All the results combined with biochemical analysis from hospital are uploaded to cloud server by mobile Internet. Machine learning algorithms are used for data mining of all information of subjects. This system can achieve the assessment and care of maternal physical health as well as mental health. Moreover, the system can send the results and health guidance to smart terminals.
