Postpartum complications Preexisting maternal health problems contribute to many postpartum complications. Overall nursing objectives for high risk post partum clients include: a-Promote diagnosis and treatment of post partum complications to minimize risk morbidity and mortality. b- Promote comfort. c- Explore emotional aspects. d- Minimize separation of the mother and infant. e- assist the client and family to deal with anger, anxiety and fear.

1-Postpartum hemorrhage -Postpartum hemorrhage is blood loss of more than 500 ml following the birth of a newborn. -Early post partum hemorrhage which is usually due to uterine atony, laceration or retained placenta fragments, occurs in the first 24 hours after delivery. -Late postpartum hemorrhage occurs after 24 hours after delivery and is generally caused by retained placental fragments or bleeding disorder. -Delayed uterine atony or placental fragments prevent the uterus from contracting effectively. The uterus is unable to form an effective clot structure and bleeding continues.

-Nursing management includes -prevent excessive blood loss and resulting complications. -assist the client and family to deal with physical emotional stress of postpartum complications.

2- subinvolution -It is delayed return of the enlarged uterus to normal size and function. -It results from retained placental fragments and membranes, endometritis, or uterine fibroid tumor. -Uterine atony or placental fragments prevent the contracting effectively. -Clinical manifestations – prolonged lochial discharges. -irregular or excessive bleeding. -larger than normal uterus.

-Nursing management 1-prevent excessive blood loss, infection, and other complications. 2-assist the client and family to deal with physical and emotional stresses of postpartum complications.

3-Puerperal infection - It is an infection developing in the birth structures after delivery. -It is a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. -The most common site of post partum infection is the pelvic cavity. -It can be caused by poor sterile technique, cesarean birth. -clinical manifestations: -Fever. -pain, redness, tenderness and firmness.

4- Mastitis -It is inflammation of the breast tissue that is usually caused by infection or by stasis of milk in the ducts.

5-Thrombophlebitis and thrombosis -Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of the vascular endothelium with clot formation on the vessels wall. -A thrombus forms when blood components (platelets and fibrin) combine to form an aggregate body (clot). -Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clot traveling through the venous system lodges within the pulmonary circulation system, causing occlusion or infarction.

6- Urinary tract infection -It is indicated by more than 100 thousands bacterial colonies /ml of urine in two consecutive clean, voided, midstream specimens. -Two common types of UTIs are cystitis, inflammation of the urinary bladder, and pyelonephritis, inflammation of the renal pelvis. -Another cause of UTIs is retention and residual urine due to over distention and incomplete emptying of the bladder. - E-coli, (the most common causative organism).

-Clinical manifestation -cystitis manifestations include frequency,urgency, dysuria, hematuria, temperature elevation, and suprapubic pain. -Pyelonephritis manifestations include high fever, chills, flank pain, nausea and vomiting. -Nursing management – -recognize signs of infection and prevent the development of further complications.

7-Postartum mood disorder -The disorders are- 1 -Postpartum blues.-include fatigue, anxiety, mood instability, with onset 1 to 10 days postpartum and lasting 2 weeks or less. 2 -Postpartum depression without psychotic features. includes confusion, fatigue, feeling of hopelessness and shame, and alteration in mood. 3 -Postpartum depression with psychotic features (postpartum psychosis)-includes symptoms of postpartum depression plus delusion, auditory hallucinations, and hyperactivity.
