PREFACE
Health service in Karnataka is being delivered at three'levels - Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary. But access to health facilities and effective quality care in these facilities has been a dire

need which has not been addressed for a long time.

An effective mechanism which affords

accessibility to the entire population as well as quality care at each level of health facility is
lacking. The result is that the bulk of the health facilities like PHCs / PHUs at primary level are

underutilized with the population depending on the more credible secondary and tertiary level

health facilities such as district hospitals for all their health needs. The levels of health care are
working independent of one another with no linkage between them.

One of the major objectives of the KHSDP Project is to build an effective referral
mechanism which removes these anamolies and establishes an appropriate and well-linked
multi-tier health care delivery system with improved service quality, access and effectiveness.
Such a referral mechanism needs adequately spaced, well equipped health facilities manned ably

by well-qualified and trained staff. All these needs are being addressed under the project.

This Referral System Manual has been developed to provide a strategy for implementation
of a credible referral and linkage mechanism involving all health facilities from PHCs to tertiary

hospitals. The Referral System envisaged in this manual emphasizes the quality service rendered
by PHCs and First Referral units so that the patients develop confidence in these lower level

1

health facilities.

The Referral guidelines and protocols discussed here should be clearly

understood by all doctors and nurses and followed meticulously at all times. Consistency is the
catch word for a successful referral system.

This is a relatively new concept and needs good publicity not only among health
professionals but also among the community members. Coordination and support between health

facilities of different levels is essential to ensure an effective implementation of the Referral
System.

REFERRAL SYSTEM
Dr. G.V. Vijayalakshmi, Consultant, KHSDP

Karnataka Health system and services has evolved over years from an amalgamation of
the different geographical areas and their services. The state has 70% population living in rural

areas. Only one-third of the rural areas are well connected by fair weather roads. About 40% of
the population is below poverty line. Although the average literacy rate of the state is 67%, some

districts of northern Karnataka have as low a literacy rate as 50%.

The state has four

administrative divisions and 27 districts.

The health care delivery system of the state consists of three tiers - Primary, Secondary
and Tertiary. The lowest tier of Primary Health Care comprising 1357 Primary Health Centres

(PHCs) and 621 Primary Health Units (PHUs), offers basic curative and preventive services in

health as well as some promotive services in Maternal & Child Health and Family Welfare areas
and implement all national and locally introduced health programmes.

Secondary level health delivery is implemented through hospitals, with bed strength

varying from 30 to 800, such as Community Health Centres (CHCs) with 30 beds, Taluka level

hospitals with 50 - 100 beds and Sub-district and District Hospitals with 250 - 800 beds. The
186 CHCs in the state are designed to be the First Referred Units (FRUs) offering curative
services including minor operations and implement national programmes in health and family
welfare. There are 45 taluka level hospitals with bed strength 50 - 100 where advanced curative

services in the four major specialities of medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology and
paediatrics along with dental services are offered. The sub-district and district hospitals which

have all the specialities and improved diagnostic laboratory facilities are expected to provide high

level inpatient and outpatient care.

PRESENT SITUATION :
In such a multi-tier health care system, health facilities at lower echelons are expected to
hold and manage all patients needing basic curative and preventive services and refer only those
with more complex problems to appropriate higher health facilities.. In Karnataka, this referral
system is not functioning effectively. Out-patients in secondary and tertiary level hospitals are
over burdened with patients suffering from simple ailments who could have been managed at a
2

refsys

lower level health facility which remains under-utilised. Such patients make up one third of the

out-patient in these hospitals. The reasons for this are:-

1

Self referrals by patients to higher level hospitals

2. Lack of confidence in lower level facilities due to perceived low quality of care.

3. Lack of proper linkage between different levels of health care.

4. Absence of guidelines or procedures that govern health facilities at different levels in a
referral chain.

5. Non-availability of written conventions guiding what conditions should be treated
where and when.

6. No triage or prioritisation of referred patients in health institutions.
7.

Lack of basic space, equipment and staff facilities at lower level facilities, and
mismatch in the availability of different specialists in lower tier hospitals.

8. There is duplication of investigations and treatment due to absence of an ideal referral

system.

Need and Objectives of the Referral System :

There is, thus a need to develop a well functioning referral system through which patients
with complex health problems are identified in a timely and systematic manner and examined,

investigated and / or treated promptly at an appropriate health care facility.

Main Objectives :
1. Increasing community accessibility to the primary care level which provides bulk of
preventive care services as well as the first contact for treating common diseases.
2. Developing a linkage through a referral system between different tiers of the health

delivery system.

3. Ensuring that each successive level provide technically more complex services, and
the higher tier provides technical leadership and support to the lower levels.

Detailed Objectives :

Every health facility in the state will achieve the following objectives when a referral
system under this project is implemented:1

Timely identification and triage of different categories of patients for referral.
3

refsys

2. Referring only needy patients to higher facilities of management through a credible
referral protocol.

3. Ensuring that the community develops confidence in. the facilities at all levels.
4. Creating awareness in health workers and the community about the service

availability.
5. Appraising the patients about the incentives for participating in the referral system.
Such a system ensures that the community develops confidence in the quality of care

provided and patients understand that they will be referred according to their health needs. A

The

credible referral system will minimise by-passing of lower level of health facilities.
requirements of such a referral system are as follows:1. Clearly defined services at primary, secondary and tertiary levels.

2. Quality service at each level which promotes confidence among patients.
3. Confidence in patients and community that they will be properly referred and

promptly transferred to higher facilities as needed.
4. Awareness in the community as to types of services available at each level of
care.
5. Procedures to be implemented to ensure that patients do not by-pass lower level
facilities.

Under the project, the referral system will be developed and strengthened through a

number of activities :
1. Renovating and upgrading hospital buildings to provide adequate space for services.
2. Provisioning equipment and support service at each level of health facility.

3. Upgrading and updating clinical skills of medical and paramedical staff through in
service training programmes.

4. Providing ambulances for transporting all referred patients and,
5. Installing communication network through phone, fax and/or radio.

Some of the activities are already being implemented in a number of secondary level

hospitals under the project. These hospitals will serve as focal referral points for the primary
health care level. The project would also ensure that proper linkage is established between the
primary and secondary level facilities so that most of the patients coming to first referral units

have been seen at PHCs.
4

refsys

Strengthening Measures :

A number of measures would be implemented to strengthen the referral system :

1. Introducing the use of Referral and Feedback cards.
2. Implementing Referral Guidelines.

3. Establishing an incentive system.
4. Establishing linkages and communication between FRUs, PHCs through regular
training and out-reach visits.

5. Developing intensive Information, Education and Communication (EEC) strategies
for both health service providers and community.

6. Bringing referral system under the perview of District Level Health System
Committees.

PREPARATION FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF REFERRAL SYSTEM :
A good preparation to ensure that all pre-requisites for strengthening the referral system
are met, is necessary for a successful implementation. The preparation will include the following

aspects:-

1. Referral cum Feedback card (which will be referred to as Referral Card only in
the text further):
New Referral cum Feedback card will be introduced. Once a decision is made to refer a

patient to a higher facility, a referral card for the patient is initiated by the medical officer
referring the patient. The referral card provides the patient direct access to the Referral Hospital.

This pink referred card contains:
a. General information about the patient - name, age, sex, address etc..

b. Medical information such as clinical findings and diagnosis, investigations done,
treatment given and condition of the patient at the time of referral, and

c. Purpose of referral. The referred patient gains direct access to the department to
which he has been referred in the Referral Hospital without following the general

queue. Referral Hospitals may provide a special counter to receive referred patients
to avoid delays. Under ‘yellow card scheme’, an annual health check scheme for

SC/ST population in the state, these referral cards and special dispensations are

already available.

5

refeys

Once the patient has been managed at the Referral Hospital, he will be given the same

Referral card which includes general information about the patient, final diagnosis, procedures
and treatment given, investigations done and follow-up advice.. Specimens of the card are given
in annexure. All health facilities from PHCs / PHUs to district hospitals will make available the

Referral card.

2. Referral Guidelines :
In order to ensure that an effective and acceptable Referral System is implemented, this

manual of Referral Guidelines that will specify procedures will be issued to all health facilities. It
includes (a) Administrative guidelines and (b) Referral protocols. Every health unit in the state is
expected to strictly follow these guidelines and protocols all the time.

a) Administrative guidelines :
Under the project, directives providing guidelines will be issued for all health institutions

covered by the project. These guidelines may be grouped as follows :

i) Administrative guidelines for the Referring Health Facility :
• Patients will be referred to the nearest, higher, properly equipped referral unit as

provided in the Referral flow chart of this Manual.
• Patients will be referred from the lower health facility to the designated referral
hospital strictly following the Zonal system in the Referral flow chart.
I

I

• A critically ill patient will be referred to the appropriate higher health facility for
admission without any delay but only after s/he is stabilized with appropriate care

and treatment.

• Before referring any patient, the referring medical officer will ensure:
• That the Referral Card is duly filled arid signed with the Feedback portion /

component attached for Reverse Referral.


The patient’s details are filled in the IP/OP Referral Register maintained to
facilitate monitoring.



The patient is informed as to his destination and purpose of Referral.

• The referring medical officer and/or the staff nurse I/C will ensure that adequate

I

supply of needy drugs are available for the referred patient both before referral and

6

refsys

enroute to the Referred Hospital. A trained nurse shall always accompany critically
ill patient who is being referred.



:

Transport

The Referring Hospital will provide suitable transport to the

referred patient to reach the higher hospital using the following guidelines :


The ambulance transferring the referred patient shall have necessary patient
care equipment such as oxygen cylinder, resuscitation kits, TV. fluids and

emergency life saving medicines.


In the event ambulance is not available the Referring hospital may hire a

suitable private transport to refer the patient.


Very poor critically ill and poor patients will always be provided with
transport free of cost. The discretion whether to charge or not rests with the
referring Medical Officer.



Other referred patients will pay a stipulated fee which is equivalent to the

actual cost of fuel used by the transport.


Payment will be collected by a designated person of the referring hospital

who will issue a receipt to the patient or attendant accompanying the patient.

The amount thus collected will be deposited into the hospital user charge
account.


If the ambulance transports the referred patient, beyond the Referral hospital
to the next higher hospital, on the advice of the medical officer receiving the
patient, the driver of the ambulance will be authorised to collect money and

issue receipt.

ii) Administrative guidelines for the Referral Hospital :


The Referral Hospital will promptly receive the referred patient without any delay
and guide him/her to appropriate consultation / investigation / treatment area.



The Referred patient need not follow the queue at the OPD nor does he need to
procure any outpatient ticket or slip. He will produce the referral card to the
receiving staff



The appropriate specialist/medical officer/technician/nurse will attend to the

referred patient promptly without any delay.


Critically ill referred patients will be given top priority and admitted and managed
diligently.

Women and children should be given immediate attention and
7

refsys

managed, as their conditions often deteriorate following prolonged travel that the

referral entails.



Referred patients managed as an out-patient x>nly, will be. referred back to the
Referring Institution along with the duly filled feedback card for follow up

preferably on the same day.



A Referal Register may be kept at an accessible Referral Counter.



It is the responsibility of the Administrative medical officer of the Referral

Hospital to provide diet for the referred patient - when admitted. Dormitory

accommodation for Attendants to be made by Medical Officer, if feasible.



Where fax/telephone facilities are available, the Administrative medical officer of

the Referring Institution will communicate advance information about the patient
being referred, especially in emergencies to the Referral Hospital to alert them to

receive the patient.

The communication may be used both ways to convey

information.



Every health facility in the Referred chain shall fix operational hours during which
all patient care services are rendered, particularly hours for specialist

consultation, investigations like X-ray, laboratory tests and visiting hours for
attendants.

These hours should not only be prominently displayed at the

Reception

of the Hospital but also be communicated in writing to all the

Referring units in the Referral Zone


All Referral health facilities shall develop procedures for handling referred
emergency patients through 24 hours and fix rolls for staff.



All health facilities from CHCs to District Hospitals will have a Referral Task

Force with the Administrative head of the institution as Chairman. CHCs will
include the Administrative Medical Officers of all PHCs in their Referral Task

Force.



The Referral Health Facilities from CHCs to District Hospitals will receive
patients referred from non-governmental health institutions including private
clinics present in their Zonal areas of referral and manage them as per the same

guidelines given above.

b. Referral Protocols :
Referral protocols are written conventions as to what clinical entities should be treated
where and when. The whole referral exercise depends on how meticulously these protocols are

observed in all the three tier health facilities. These protocols will specify:
1.

Types of conditions that should be referred for investigation and/or treatment to higher
health facilities. A working group consisting of specialists in various specialities of

medical care has prepared a clinical management protocol which provides guidelines
and standards of management and procedures for stabilisation for common conditions
by doctors with basic medical qualification who work without supervision in Primary
Health Centres/Units and Community Health Centres. These protocols are given in

annexure 2.

When and how to refer : Procedures that should be followed before referring a patient

to a higher health facility are essential and sufficient information should accompany the

patient who is being referred. A referral card has been developed for this purpose.
3.

Advising the patient and his attendants before referral on :

a) Purpose and benefits of referral
b) Location and time and mode of reaching the Referral Hospital

c) Precautions / preparations prior to transfer and
d) Likely events at the Referral Hospital

4. Emergency protocol services. Guide lines for Immunisation, management and referral.

Organisation

Taluka Level:

At the level of talukas, all health facilities which form the first level referral chain, viz., the

Taluka level hospitals, the CHCs and PHCs/PHUs will form a Referral Subcommittee which will
have the following constitution :

1. The Administrative Medical Officer of the Taluka Hospital: Chairman

2. Administrative Medical Officers of all CHCs
3. Administrative Medical Officers of all PHCs/PHUs

: Members
: Members

4. Medical Superintendent of all Private Health Facilities
5. One representative Private Practitioner
The Taluka Referral Subcommittee meets once a month and discusses implementation of

referral system at PHC/PHU, CHC and taluka hospital level. The subcommittee is responsible
for the following :

1. Implementation, monitoring and servicing of Referral System.
2. Technical support to primary and first referral units from Taluka Hospitals.

3. Training of health personnel at lower level institution.
4. EEC strategies at community level.

Incentives for Referred Patients :
Referral System is a new concept and needs a lot of motivational effort to operate

effectively and consistently. Besides creating awareness about the benefits of the system in the

patients, efforts are necessary to encourage them to follow proper referral procedures by
providing incentives which may be listed as under :

1. At the Referral Hospital, referred patients,
a) can report directly to the referred unit/department without going through the

out patient queue and other formalities.
b) don’t have to make separate outpatient slips.

The referral cards serve as

outpatient slips.

2. The Referral Hospital will provide food for the referred patient who may be managed

inpatients only.

3. The Referring Hospital will provide an ambulance or any other suitable transport to
the referred patient who will pay only the actual cost of fuel used in the transfer.
13

ref-sys

Technical Support to Primary Level:

Success of the referral system much depends on the linkage established between primary

health care facilities, FRUs, CHCs and Taluka Hospitals on the one hand and the Sub-district /
District Hospitals on the other. In each Referral Zone, a sub-district / district hospital will be

assigned to provide technical support to all the lower level health facilities in the Zone by:
1. Their consultants/specialists accepting wider role

to strengthen Primary care

programmes like safe motherhood, child survival, FP, immunisation, nutrition, disease
surveillance etc,.

2. Coordinating by providing periodic consultant services, on-the-job training and
inservice training to staff at PHCs and CHCs.

3. Training of doctors and other paramedics through
i) Out reach visits to PHCs and CHCs by specialists from sub-district and district

hospitals to
a) provide on the spot consultation for selected cases and
b) to enhance skills in selected treatment techniques by demonstration.

ii) Providing clinical attachments for PHC and CHC and Taluka Hospital staff for

training in special clinical skills with emphasis on management of emergencies
including trauma care.
iii) Periodic clinical meetings at PHCs & CHCs and taluka hospitals to discuss

problems in clinical management.
iv) Provision of updates and other medical literature to staff at lower levels.
v) disseminating clinical protocol manuals to PHCs & CHCs and briefing the staff
on its use.

The District Surgeon who will coordinate all activities on technical support will make
necessary arrangements such as providing transport, stationary, teaching aids etc., to the
consultants after obtaining approval from the Referral Subcommittee.

The strategies for referral system including the details of the technical support plans, will
be included in the teaching syllabus in State Training Institutes by the Directorate of Health &

Family Welfare Services.

Information, Education and Communication (IEC)
Referral system is an EEC - intensive scheme. Wide Dissemination of information on

referral system to different target groups is the key to its success. The target groups are :

a) the health care providers at primary and first referral levels viz., the health workers of

PHCs, CHCs and Taluka level hospitals, who are actively concerned with referrals.
b) Government workers at grass root levels eg: anganwadis, M.S.S., school teachers,
who can disseminate information regarding availability of different health care types

and facilities at different levels and are considered as opinion leaders.

c) Patients who use the health facilites (priority target), as their first hand experience
carries weight.

d) Private Health facilities, practitioners and NGOs who also refer patients and therefore
should be aware of the available facilities in referral hospitals.

e) The SC/ST population in rural areas who are beneficiaries of referral under Yellow

Card scheme, should be aware of the improved primary health care services available
to them.
The strategy of EEC for Referral System focuses on dissemination of information

regarding service availability in all levels of health care in Karnataka. The various media that will
be adopted are : -

1.

Health workers in health institution who produce vast impact on patients by the way
they handle them, will be used as educators by providing training on communication
& education and visitor handling .

2.

Door to Door Campaign or interpersonal communication has been the EEC strategy in

yellow card Scheme. The same suits well for enhancing community awareness on
Referral System.

Junior and Senior Health Assistants, Block health educators &

grass root level workers will be trained to do these campaigns.
3.

Pamphlets and good sign posting within hospitals and maps showing referral chains
will provide information about services, hours of working etc..

The District Health Education Officer will be responsible for implementing an effective
EEC Campaign on Referral System.

15

Training :
Training the hospital personnel is an essential prerequisite for the successful and sustained
implementation of Referral System in health care settings. Proper training alters mindset and
makes operationalisation a lot easier.

Creating referral awareness, motivating and educating

hospital workers is the first step.
Goals of Training Programme are :

1. Defining the problem in general and in particular reference to the hospital referral

system.

2. Bringing out effective referral chain.
3. Obtaining feed back and support by active participation.
4. Initiating co-ordination between various staff.

5. Establishing the organizational role of each health unit.

The medical officer is responsible for the training, dissemination of information &
education of all workers. The target group for training should be broad & should include both
the hospital and extra-hospital personnel who directly or indirectly use the health facility.

1. Hospital

- Doctors nurses & para medicals.

2. Non-Hospital staff

- General workers

3. Patients and visitors.
4. Socially active groups

- eg : women groups, NGOs.

5. Administrators of key institutions, Heads
of schools.

- eg : Zilla/Taluka parishat members

Trainer:

Trainer is the Medical Officer of health care who is already trained at district/state level

and will be equipped with information on referral system through a manual prepared for the
purpose.
Activities :

The training methodology may be divided into the following segments :

1. Teaching.
2. Discussion.
3. Feedback.
16

ref-sys

Teaching and discussion will be parts of the initial training activity. Feedback from
personnel should be a continuous process, which helps monitoring and evaluation of the Referral

System in course of time.

5. Information, Education & Communication :
Being an EEC - intensive scheme. Referral System requires good input for EEC activities.
Activities such as preparing audiovisual aids for health workers, pamphlets, signposts & maps in

health facilities, conducting street dramas etc., will need funds. Rupees 1.0 Million has been

estimated as the annual requirement.

The total budget requirements for implementing the Referral System in the state is
estimated to be Rs. 5.2 Million for the year 1998 - 99.

OBSTETRIC EMERGENCIES
IDENTIFICATION, MANAGEMENT AND REFERRAL
INTRODUCTION :

In Obstetrics there is an extensive list of potential sudden and unexpected situations
which demand prompt action. Non Obstetricians callously characterise obstetrics as ‘hours of
boredom punctuated by moments of terror’. However, jokingly this has been stated, as
Obstetricians we always dread there moments of terror.
In modem Obstetrics, except for a few situations viz., amniotic fluid embolism, we can
forearm ourselves by anticipating there complications by early identification of certain warning
signals in each and every catastrophe.
Most of the emergencies can be prevented in a PHC set up by early reference of
patients with the high risk factors during the antenatal period to a major institution.

However, certain emergencies arise even in a low risk pregnancy. The PHC
obstetricians should be competent enough to identify and manage these emergencies to
prevent fatal sequelae.
A Partogram has been inserted under this topic for the use of all categories of hospitals
to record the details of Management of Labour of every delivery conducted. This helps to
review the outcome and assess the quality and reasons for any mishaps in the procedures
besides helping post-graduate and research studies.

ANTEPARTUM HAEMORRHAGE
PLACENTAL ABRUPTION (ACCIDENTAL HAEMORRHAGE)
Identification :
Painful bleeding per vaginum, sudden pain with sensation of fetal movements clinical
picture may be out of proportion to the amount of blood lost and patient may be in a state of
shock. If early treatment is not instituted the patient may succumb to shock, coagulation
failure and renal failure.
Placenta Praevia :
Painless bleeding per vaginum after 24 weeks and before delivery of the foetus.

Identification :
By ultrasound depending on condition of mother and foetus, expectant time of
management. No vaginal examination in outpatient or labour room.

Preferable to terminate at 38 weeks by LSCS in II, HI & IV degrees.

ECLAMPSIA
Identification by first occurrence of convulsions with hypertension and proteinum in a
pregnant patient.

It has been proved beyond doubt that the Magnesium sulphate regime is superior to
other modalities of treatment. Initial 4G loading dose (diluted and later drip at rate of IG/hr
would be ideal.
Prompt delivery should be done. Strict monitoring of fluid balance, urine output
(30ml/hr) patella reflex and respiratory rate are mandatory.
1. Admit & Resuscitate
2. Confirm diagnosis

RETAINED AND ADHERENT PLACENTA
Manual removal of placenta should be done if placenta is not expelled within 30
minutes. Adherent placenta can be treated conservatively, or surgically by hysterectomy
depending on clinical findings.

INVERSION OF UTERUS
Occur when there is uterine atony or mismanagement of third stage of labour.
Immediate reposition should be done. In case of failure, surgery at District Major Institute.

OBSTETRIC SEPTIC SHOCK
Definition :

Infection resulting in peripheral circulatory failure with inadequate tissue perfussion
leading to cell disfunction or death. A variety of gram negative anaerobes and gram positive
aerobes and anaerobes are implicated. As multiorgan involvement is common, Broad
Spectrum antibiotics are mandatory. Gentamycin, ampicillin and metrogyl could be a safe
regime. In a few cases mechanical ventilation may be needed. In uncontrolled cases surgical
modality of treatment may be necessary. Prompt delivery is a must.

OBSTRUCTED LABOUR
Shoulder Dystocia (Obstetricians Night Mare!):

Anticipate shoulder dystocia in a DOPE patient.
large baby and excessive weight gain.

Diabetes, obesity post-term/prior

Suspect and anticipate when there is prolonged second stage of labour. Oxytocin use
and midpelvic delivery.

Management:
Assess whesther bilateral, if unilateral perform Me Robert’s maneuver. If it fails
perform woods maneuver. If this also fails deliver the posterior arm final resort is Zavaelli
restitution Alert personel and deliver within 5 minutes.

When shoulder dystocia in anticipated, the obstetrician should mentally rehearse the
sequence of steps necessary to treat this problem and be ready to act in a logical step by step
fashion. Identify dope i.e,f (Diabetes, OBESE, Post-term, Excessive weight gain).
Step I: Note the time and have the minutes counted off.
1. Call anaesthesia and alert the operating room and call for help.
2. Do not pull the baby’s head.
3. Do not apply fundal pressure.

Step II:
1. Enlarge the episiotomy
2. Feel for posterior shoulder in the hollow of the sacrum.
3. If posterior shoulder is not found, it is bilateral shoulder dystocia and replace the head into
the vagina and perform caesarean section . Restitute the head to original position, flex and
apply upward pressure. (Zavanelli restitution)

Step III: Me Robert’s maneuver
1.
2.
3.
4.

Remove the mother’s legs from stirrups.
Abduct her legs and sharply flex them against her abdomen.
Ask your assistant to apply suprapubic pressure directed laterally and inferiorly.
Apply moderate traction on the fetal head to a count of 30.

Step IV: Oblique diameter :
1. Move shoulder from anter
posterior to oblique diameter of the inlet.
2. If there is no descent rotate posterior shoulder to anterior under the symphysis pubis and
simultaneously apply suprapubic pressure in the opposite direction.

47

ref-obs-emrgn

Step V:
If no progress extract the posterior arm. Sweep the posterior arm of the fetus across
the chest keeping the arm flexed at the elbow. Grasp the fetal hand and pull the hand of the
arm along the fetal head delivering the posterior arm. If unsuccessful proceed to step 6.

Step VI:
Zavanelli restitution and Caesarean section.

Meconium aspiration syndrome:

1. Amnio infusion before delivery (500ml of warm normal saline).
2. Nasopharyngeal aspiration before the first breath.
3. Endotracheal aspiration immediately after birth.

RUPTURE UTERUS
Identification : Scan rupture

Foetal distress, pain and tenderness over
uterine scan. Bleeding per vagina.

Rupture due to Obstructed labour

Identification of Bandl’s ring stretched lower
segment recersion of presenting part after
uterine rupture.

In complete rupture foetal parts will be felt superficial, uterus conton will be lost and
patient would be in a state of shock.
Definition :

Dissolution of continuity of uterine wall any time beyond 28 wks. Of pregnancy.
1) Complete - Laceration extends into peritoneal cavity common in upper segment.
2) Incomplete- Peritoneum is intact common in lower segment.
Causes:

1. During Pregnancy :











Multipara (because of increased fibrosis)
Previous C/S sear, Hysterotomy
Pregnancy in rudimentary bom
Previous H/o curettage of puerperial ut.
Manual removal of placenta (MRP)
Myomectomy
Fall / Blow
Adenomyosis
Perforating mole
48

ref-obs-emrgn

2. During Ordinary labour :





In addition to above causes
Acquired cervical stenosis
Misuse of oxytocic drugs

3. During Protracted Labour :










Bandl’s ring
Pelvic deformity
Malpresentations: Brow
Shoulder
Hydrocephalus
Iatrogenic trauma in delivering foetus
Internal version / failed forces/ destructive operation
MRP

4. Rupture uterus:



During Pregnancy
- Spontaneous
- Scar rupture



During Labour
- Scar rupture
- Obstructed labour

Clinicalfeatures:







H/o giving way of uterus
Severe abdominal pain, supra pubic pain.
Shock / collapse
H/o Blood stained urine.
Bladder tenesumus - in silent rupture.

On Examination :






Foetal parts palpable superficially, uterine contour absent.
Localised fullness + Tenderness over uterine scar, broad ligament
Vaginal Hemorrhage
Features of shock

Silent rupture can also occur without any symptoms, especially in previous caesareans.

Management:




Resuscitation and Laparotomy should be done simultaneously
On Laparotomy
1) Closure of the rent with deep sutures + Tubectomy
2) Hysterectomy - to stop hemorrhage if uncontrolled by other
means.
49

ref-obs-emrgn

Prophylaxis :



Rupture during protracted labour can be avoided by early recognition of problem
and use of proper method of delivery.
In case of anticipated rupture - C/S done at 38 weeks.

AMNIOTIC AND THROMBOEBOLISM
Sudden and mostly fatal (80%) catastrophe in Obstetrics.
Treat respiratory distress and DIG which accompany this condition.

DVT (DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS)
Can be diagnosed clinically and confirmed by Doppler ultrasound and venography.

Pulmonary embolus can be suspected by a VQ scan mismatch ad confirmed by
arteriography.
Treatment: • Heparin
• Oxygen
• Maintenance of cardiac output
• Blood pressure
• Correction of coagulopathy.

CONCLUSION
Thus, most of the Obstetric emergencies are concerned with massive haemorrhage, be
it during pregnancy or Labour, Professional Knowledge and Skill with prompt action can save
almost all the lives.
Occasionally encountered emergencies like shoulder dystocia is an Obstetrician’s
nightmare. Rehearse ad practice the steps again and again. Display the protocol in the Labour
room. Identify the patients at risk and refer for early Caesarean section.

Emergencies like eclampsia and medical complications should be thoroughly mastered
by every PHC medical officer.

HEAD INJURIES
1. Maintain airway patency by keeping the patient in the lateral position to prevent the
tongue from falling back. Clear the mouth and oropharynx., of secretions by means of suction.
Introduce an oro-pharyngeal or naso-pharyngeal airway. Perform endotracheal intubation if
necessary.
2. Ensure adequate gaseous exchange by providing oxygen,
ventilation using the Ambu bag if necessary.

Give positive pressure

3. Check the vital signs. The presence of hypo-tension is more likely to be due to injuries
other than head injury. These may be external or internal injuries. Therefore it is essential to do full
physical examination.
4. Evaluate the severity of the head injury using the Glasgow Coma Scale.

5. The presence of pupillary asymmetry denotes incipient herniation. This requires urgent
management with anti edema measures. In such a case rule out direct optic nerve or III cranial
nerve injury.
6. Start an IV line. Anti edema measures and anticonvulsants may be given in consultation with the
neurosurgeon.
7. Raise the head end of the cot by 30 degrees.
8. In case of local scalp injury - shave the area liberally, wash thoroughly with saline and probe the
area gently with a gloved finger. Do not use any sharp instruments or probes for this purpose.
Do not try to dislodge fractured fragments of skull. Suture the wound after lavaging with
hydrogen peroxide and povidone iodine (Betadine / Wokadine).
9. In paraplegic / quadriplegic patients - do not try to extend or move the neck eg., during
intubation. Put the patient on a flat board with sand bags on either side of the head to prevent
movement. Put a cervical collar before shifting the patient anywhere.
10. Before doing any investigations - Eg. X-ray, CT Scan, consult the Resident on duty in
Neurosurgery or the Neurosurgeon, if available or refer the patient to neurosurgeon unit.
