Rupture of the uterus, although uncommon, is an obstetric emergency that poses a significant threat to both maternal and fetal life.
For these reasons, the midwife must be able to recognise the women in her care, who may be at risk of uterine rupture, the signs and symptoms of a uterine rupture and the immediate and ongoing interventions that may be required.
Uterine rupture occurs in 0.05 % to 0.086 % of all pregnancies.
Dehiscence of a caesarean section scar is the most common cause of uterine rupture and the incidence varies according to type and location of the uterine incision.
Prolonged fetal bradycardia is the first sign in 70% of all uterine ruptures.
There are many factors that are known to increase the risk for uterine rupture but even in high risk groups the overall incidence of uterine rupture is low.
However, with the increasing trend for women to achieve a vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC), the risk of a midwife encountering this emergency increases.
The aim of this emergency nursing course module is to refresh midwives’ knowledge in the event that this obstetric emergency is encountered and to serve as a tool for collegial discussion, reflection and evidence based practice review.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
