Abstract
OMAPRISON OF INTRA OPERATIVE HEMORRHAGE BY BLUNT AND SHARP EXPANSION OF UTERINE INCISION AT CESAREAN SECTION

ABSTRACT:

Background and Objective: the rate of cesarean section has increased over past many years. different techniques are used to reduce blood loss at cesarean section. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of blunt and sharp uterine incision at cesarean section on mean maternal blood loss.

Methodology: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in department of Gynecology/obstetrics, POF Hospital, Wah Cantt from 14th Jan to 13th July 2014. Eighty women scheduled for lower segment cesarean section were randomized to either blunt uterine incision (n=40) or sharp uterine incision (n=40). Outcomes were noted in terms of Peri-operative hematocrit fall and Hemoglobin fall were noted in two groups and analyzed with help of SPSS version 10.

Results: There was significant decrease in mean perioperative hematocrit and hemoglobin in sharp uterine incision as compared to blunt uterine incision and the difference between the two is found to be statistically significant. Perioperative hematocrit fall in group A was (mean 3.21±SD 1.3) and perioperative hematocrit fall was (mean 4.2 ± SD2.17) in group B. The difference between two groups was statistically significant p-value=0.015(<0.05). More fall was seen in group B as compared to group A. Perioperative hemoglobin fall (mean ±SD) was (1.47±1.08) in group A versus (mean1.95 ± SD0.85) in group B. The difference was statistically significant among two groups with p value =0.031(<0.05)

Conclusion: Blunt expansion of uterine incision during lower segment cesarean section is better as it is associated with less hemoglobin and hematocrit fall than sharp uterine incision.

Key words: Caesarean section, blunt uterine incision, sharp uterine incision.

Interventions

Intervention(s)
Study was conducted at department of Gynecology, Pakistan Ordinance Factory Hospital, Wah Cantt from 14th Jan to 13th July 2012. 80 women scheduled for lower segment cesarean section through Pfannensteil incision were randomized to either blunt uterine incision (n=40) or sharp uterine incision (n=40). Peri-operative complications like hematocrit fall and Hemoglobin fall were noted in two groups and analyzed with help of SPSS version 10.
