Obstetric Examination

General Examination

On examination, she was alert, conscious and lying comfortably on one pillow. Her
weight is 52kg.
Her vital signs were as recorded:
Blood pressure: 128/70 mmHg
Pulse rate: 82 beat per minute, regular rhythm and good volume
Temperature: 37C
FHR: 136

She does not appear to be anaemic or jaundice and oedema of the lower limbs were
absent. Oral hydration and hygiene was good. No goitre was noted.

Systemic Examination

All the system were found to be normal, the thyroid was not palpable, there is present of
normal 1st and 2nd heart sound, there is also no murmur and any additional sound detected.
Both lungs are clear, there is present of normal vesicular breath sound, no rhonchi, no
crepitation and no added sound detected.

Obstetric Abdominal Examination

Examination of the abdomen revealed a distended abdomen by a gravid uterus as evident

by linea nigra and striae gravidarum. Striae albicans were noted as well consistent with
the fact that this is her fourth pregnancy. No other abnormalities were observed such as
distended vein, shiny and tense abdomen. The abdomen was soft and non tender. Her
uterus was of 42th week size and the symphysial-fundal height measured 42 cm which
corresponded to her date and imply that amniotic fluid is adequate. Two foetal poles were
felt indicating singleton pregnancy in a longitudinal lie, cephalic presentation with foetal
back on maternal right and the foetal head is 5/5 th palpable. There is no contraction felt in
10 minute.

Vaginal Examination

Vagina: No abnormality
Cervix: position is posterior, consistency is firm and length is 2cm
OS: 1cm
Station: -1
Liquor: not seen
Caput and moulding: not felt

Summary

Madam Murni, 41 years old malay housewife, Gravida 4 Para 3 currently at term, presented with
GDM on diet control, estimated big baby and history of 2 previous big baby.

Investigation

1. Full blood count (FBC)

Reason of doing:
The main reason is to look at the haemoglobin, white cell and platelet levels. This is to
ensure she is stable haemodynamically and there is no ongoing infection. Anaemic
patients have poor tolerance for potential blood loss during delivery. However in this case
I failed to trace the FBC result.

2. GSH

3. TAS
The ultrasound examination of the fetus was done by medical officer doctor Siti Wira, the
result was as the follow: all the parameters corresponded to the date which was at term,
the lie of the fetus was longitudinal, singleton and the presentation of fetus was cephalic.
Amniotic fluid index (AFI) was 21.2 and was normal and the placenta was in posterior
upper segment.

Management Plan

On admission, Madam Murni was examined, the temperature and pulse rate was taken as
a baseline and both were 37°C and 82 beat per minute, the size of uterus, the lie and the
presentation were examined. The daily monitoring to both patient and fetal was carried
out until labor such as 4 times record of vital signs, timed contractions, pad charts, CTG,
for TAS, fetal heart rate and FKC monitoring and review by medical officer for start
induction of labor (IOL).

After ultrasound examination was done, they found out the size of baby was big and
explanation was given to patient about mode of delivery, for spontaneous vaginal
delivery (SVD), the risk is injury to the baby, nerve injury and asphyxia, risk for the
mother was extended tear up to 3° and 4° degree of tear. Other than SVD was LCSC, the
risk was injury to adjacent organ and excessive bleeding. The patient was understood
upon explanation.

Patient’s progress

Post Operation Review

Post EMLSCS for one and half hour at 1109H + BTL

1. Acute fetal distress

2. Estimated big baby (complicated with primary postpartum hemorrhage secondary
to transient uterine atony)

After EMLSCS, the patient was delivered 4.1 kg baby, estimated blood lost was 2300cc
and placenta was complete.

Intra-operatively

Bleeding profusely from left angle, during that time the blood lost was 800cc and
bleeding secured. For the bleeding from bladder, sutured with multiple figure and
estimated blood lost was 1900cc, uterine not well contracted and uterine massage was
done approximately in 20 minutes. IV pitocin 10mg is given twice, IM Hemabate 250mg
was injected and surgical applied.

Currently patient was comfortable, no shortness of breath and no palpitation. On

examination patient was alert, conscious and slightly pallor, the blood pressure was
115/70 mmHg, heart rate is 92 beat per minute and temperature is 37°C. On abdominal
palpation, uterus was in 20 weeks, abdomen is soft and non tender.

Investigation

1. Blood Urea Serum Electrolyte (BUSE)

Objective: To access the renal function and electrolyte imbalance

2. PT/APTT
Objective: To determine any coagulative problem in this patient and to monitor the
normal level coagulative factors

3. FBC
Objective: The main reason is to look at the haemoglobin, white cell and platelet levels.
This is to ensure she is stable haemodynamically and there is no ongoing infection.

Review by Dr Aziz

Day 2 post EMLSCS under spinal anesthesia for acute fetal distress. Currently patient is
comfortable, alert and conscious. The blood pressure was 123/75, pulse rate is 119 and
temperature is 37°C.

Medication

1. T. augmentin 625mg bd
2. SC heparin 5000Ü bd
3. IM nubain 10mg PRN

Comment
The patient claimed no more bleeding and felt comfortable, no headache or dizziness. If
there are no bleeding or other complications, this patient can be discharge after day 3 of
EMLSCS.
