Abstract:
Objective To investigate the appropriate timing of B-lynch suture in the treatment of atonic postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section.Methods A total of 90 patients with atonic postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section from January 2012 to December 2014 in our hospital were included in the study.They were divided into two groups, early suture group (applying B-lynch suture when the amount of postpartum hemorrhage reaching 500 ml, n=66 cases) and late suture group (applying B-lynch suture when the amount of postpartum hemorrhage reaching 1000 ml, n=24 cases).The hemostatic effect, amount of bleeding, blood transfusion rate, incidence of DIC, duration of hospitalization, and the puerperal morbidity were compared between the two groups.Results All the 90 patients were successfully treated and were discharged after comprehensive treatment.The amount of postpartum hemorrhage of the early suture group was (656±118) ml, which was significantly less than that of the late suture group [(1550±432) ml, t=-10.003, P=0.001].The rate of blood transfusion of the early suture group was 3.0% (2/66), which was significantly lower than that of the late suture group [(50.0%, 12/24), x2=26.092, P=0.000].There was no case of DIC in the early suture group, and the incidence of DIC in the late suture group was 16.7% (4/24), with the difference statistically significant (Fisher''s exact test, P=0.004).The puerperal morbidity in the early suture group was 3.0% (2/66) and that of the late suture group was 25.0% (6/24), with statistically significant difference (x2=7.952, P=0.005).There was no statistically significant difference in the hospitalization stay between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions B-Lynch suture is an effective method in the treatment of atonic postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section, and early use of it can get better curative effect, such as less bleeding amount and lower rates of blood transfusion, DIC and complications like puerperal morbidity.In case the bleeding volume reaches 500 ml and the general conservative hemostatic methods are ineffective, B-Lynch suture is recommended immediately.
