|
Predisposing factors for pp hemorrhage include ? of the uterus, multi-?, use of tocolytic drugs such as ?, or overuse of oxytotic meds such as ?, ? labor, ? labor, use of ? during delivery.
|
overdistension,
parity, MgSO4, Pitocin, Precipitate, Prolonged, forceps |
|
Why would MgSO4 be a cause of pp hemorrhage?
|
MgSO4 is a vasodilator, it will cause veins to remain unconstricted, the opposite of what we need in the uterus after delivery.
|
|
Why would the overuse of oxytotic meds such as pitocin cause pp hemorrhage?
|
excessive use of Pitocin during labor sets a woman up for immediate postpartum uterine atony—with sometimes unacceptable amounts of blood loss in accompaniment.
|
|
Nursing management for pp hemorrhage: The RN can ? the uterus, have pt empty her ?, rapid infusion of ?, parenteral administration of the meds ? or ?, IV replacement of ?/?, ? compression of the uterus.
