Preterm Labor Lin Qi de
Definition Preterm Labor :Labor occurring prior to the completion of 37 weeks’ of gestation(≥28 weeks’), or 196-258 days from the last menstrual period (LMP).
Etiology Maternal factors: (1) Clinical complication:cardiovascular, liver,renal dieases,PIH , severe anemia et al (2) Uterine distortion: Leiomyoma,uterus didelphys , uterus septus, Incompetent cervix and other abnomalities
Fetal and placental factors: (1) Hydramnios (2) Multiple pregnancy (3) PROM (4) Placental abruption (5) Placenta praevia (6) Urinary , intra- amniotics infection
Symptoms and Signs Uterine contraction, (irregulation regulation) Increase or change in vaginal discharge (mucous,watery,light bloody discharge) “Taking up “ of the cervix Progressive dilatation of the os
Preventation • Antenatal care • Treat clinical complication • (3) Operation for the os
Management of PTL The purpose of treating PTL : delay delivery, if possible, until fetal maturity fetal alive no fetal distress no PROM (1) Rest in the bed, lie on left side (2) Prevent RDS:dexamethasone 5mg im 3days to enhance pulmonary maturity
(3) Tocolysis therapy : -adrenergic agents: increase cAMP in cell which decreases free calciun(2-receptors predominate in the uterus ,lung and blood vessels) Prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors: decrease prostaglandin(PG) production Calciun channel blockers: prevent calcium entry into muscle cells
Magnesium sulfate:competes with calcium for entry in to cells • 25%MySO4 + 5%GS 500ml 80-100ml/h(first hour) pay attention to : • The respiratory: more than 16 /min • The knee reflection must be exist • The urine volume must be more than 600ml/24h (25ml/h) • Calcium resistance must be prepared
