Article Synopsis
- The Shock Index (SI) is used in emergency medicine to evaluate severe bleeding and was examined for its effectiveness in predicting the need for sulprostone treatment in postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) cases.
- A retrospective study analyzed 147 PPH patients, comparing various hemodynamic parameters between those who needed sulprostone (sulprostone(+)) and those who didn't (sulprostone(-)).
- Results showed SI and other parameters like SBP, DBP, and MAP were significantly different between groups, but overall diagnostic value of SI and these parameters for predicting sulprostone use was low and similar.
Aim: To develop clinical practice recommendations for nurse-administered intramuscular injections in mental health.
Background: Intramuscular injection is the main route of long-acting injectable antipsychotics' administration that appear to improve the long-term prognosis of mental illness. Specific guidelines related to the nurse administration of intramuscular injections need to be updated and to explore not only the technical aspects of this procedure.
Changes between pre- and postpartum hemoglobin might be useful for optimizing the postpartum diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), defined as a blood loss exceeding 500 mL. This study's principal objective was to estimate the mean change in hemoglobin (between pre/post-delivery hemoglobin) among women with vaginal deliveries and PPH. The secondary objectives were to analyze: hemoglobin changes according to blood volume loss, the appropriateness of standard thresholds for assessing hemoglobin loss, and the intrinsic and extrinsic performances of these threshold values for identifying PPH.

Our principal objective is to assess the impact of an infrastructure for a mobile antenatal care clinic on the completion of antenatal care for women identified as geographically vulnerable in a perinatal network.
Methods And Analysis: Controlled cluster-randomised study in two parallel arms comparing an intervention group with an open-label control group.
Introduction: Maternal pushing techniques during the second stage of labor may affect women's pelvic floor function. Our main objective was to assess the impact of the type of pushing used at delivery on the mother's medium-term pelvic floor function.
Material And Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial (clinicaltrials.
