Amniotic fluid embolism can be completely prevented. Do you do this?

Amniotic fluid embolism is extremely dangerous and may result in two deaths. Expectant mothers must pay attention. Women over 30 years old, those who have given birth prematurely or after-term, and multiparous women, especially those with premature rupture of membranes, hypoplastic uterine body or cervix, are prone to amniotic fluid embolism, so they need to actively cooperate with the doctor's correct treatment.

1. Mothers must have regular prenatal check-ups, because 90% of placenta previa can be diagnosed through ultrasound examinations, and placental abruption can be detected early using delivery monitoring devices. Discover gestational hypertension early. Once symptoms of hypertension, edema and proteinuria appear, seek active treatment to avoid the occurrence of severe gestational hypertension.

2. Mothers over 30 years old, premature or post-term mothers, and multiparous women, especially those with premature rupture of membranes, hypoplastic uterine body or cervix, are prone to amniotic fluid embolism, so they must actively cooperate with the doctor's correct treatment.

3. During the delivery process, if you experience any discomfort such as chest tightness, irritability, chills, etc., you should tell your doctor immediately so that the doctor can do his best to deal with it as soon as possible.

4. Strictly grasp the indications for the use of oxytocin, use oxytocin rationally, and conduct necessary observations. During labor, if uterine contractions are too strong, the mother should cooperate with the doctor to use sedatives to weaken uterine contractions to prevent uterine rupture.

5. If amniotic fluid embolism occurs in the first stage of labor, the fetus cannot be delivered immediately. Although the condition improves after rescue, it may still worsen because the cause has not been eliminated. If necessary, cooperate with the doctor to perform a cesarean section and end the delivery as soon as possible to avoid the dangerous situation of uterine rupture.

6. Strictly follow the indications for artificial rupture of membranes, do not perform stripping of membranes, and do not rupture membranes during uterine contractions.

7. Strictly follow the indications for cesarean section and use gauze pads to protect the edges of the incision when water breaks.

8. If uterine contractions are too strong during labor, contraction inhibitors such as magnesium sulfate and bricanyl can be used to weaken them. Calm and peaceful.

9. During the mid-term labor induction with clamps, the membranes are ruptured first and the amniotic fluid is allowed to drain out before clamping and using oxytocin.

10. Pregnant women with inducing factors should be more vigilant about the occurrence of amniotic fluid embolism.

11. Observe the fourth stage of labor carefully to detect shock that is inconsistent with bleeding in a timely manner.
