All women who suffered from severe obstetric haemorrhage were managed with the anti\u2010shock garment as the first intervention. The data for this report were collected from hospital chart review.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Setting<\/jats:bold> Sialkot is a city of about three million and Memorial Christian Hospital is one of two major obstetric hospitals. There is no blood bank at Memorial Christian Hospital or elsewhere in Sialkot. The Memorial Christian Hospital laboratory is able to draw donor blood, type and cross match blood, and process it for transfusion 24 hours per day.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Population<\/jats:bold> During the six weeks of this study, in June and July 2001, there were 764 deliveries and 34 other admissions within a week following deliveries outside the hospital. Seven women with obstetric haemorrhage who developed severe shock were managed with the anti\u2010shock garment. One woman, who was later found to have mitral stenosis, developed dyspnea upon placement of the anti\u2010shock garment and therefore it was removed within 5 minutes. This report concerns the six women who were able to tolerate the anti\u2010shock garment without untoward symptoms.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods<\/jats:bold> As soon as severe shock was recognised in the hospital, the anti\u2010shock garment was placed. Crystalloid solutions were given intravenously over the first hour at a rate of 1500 mL per estimated litre of blood loss, then at a maintenance rate of 150 mL\/hour. Vital signs every 15 to 30 minutes, hourly urine output and intermittent oxygen saturation were used to monitor patients during the use of the anti\u2010shock garment. When sufficient blood transfusion had been given to restore the haemoglobin to <jats:styled-content>&gt;7 g\/dL<\/jats:styled-content>, the anti\u2010shock garment was removed in segments at 15\u2010minute intervals with documentation of vital signs before removal of each subsequent portion.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Main outcome measures<\/jats:bold> Restoration of mean arterial pressure of 70 mmHg and clearing of sensorium were considered as signs of effective resuscitation. Haemorrhage was considered controlled if the blood loss was less than 25 mL\/hour. Morbidity included any complications noted in the medical chart.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold> Restoration of blood pressure and improvement of mental status occurred within 5 minutes in two patients who were pulseless and three who were unconscious or confused. All patients had improvement of mean arterial pressure to greater than 70 mmHg within 5 minutes. Duration of anti\u2010shock garment use ranged from 12 to 36 hours and none of the six women had significant further bleeding while the anti\u2010shock garment was in place. Patients were comfortable during use of the anti\u2010shock garment and no adverse effects were noted apart from a transient decrease in urine output.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold> The anti\u2010shock garment rapidly restored vital signs in women with severe obstetric shock. There was no further haemorrhage during or after anti\u2010shock garment use and the women experienced no subsequent morbidity. A prospective randomised study of the anti\u2010shock garment for management of obstetric haemorrhage is needed to further document these observations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1471-0528.2002.02197.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,22]],"date-time":"2003-12-22T14:59:03Z","timestamp":1072105143000},"page":"1377-1384","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Anti\u2010shock garment provides resuscitation and haemostasis for obstetric haemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"Paul A.","family":"Hensleigh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","unstructured":"AbouZahr C RoystonE.Maternal Mortality: A Global Factbook.
