Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of a new care protocol and team training on postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) management and blood transfusion rates among women giving birth.
- Conducted at a university hospital, the research compared blood product usage before (Time 1) and after (Time 2) implementing the PPH protocol from 2015 to 2019, revealing significant improvements post-training.
- Results showed a notable increase in protocol adherence (from 5.1% to 49.5%) and a decrease in blood transfusions, with the ultimate goal of zero maternal deaths due to hemorrhage achieved after the training.
Purpose: To compare choroidal thickness (CT) measurements in preeclamptic and healthy women in the third trimester of pregnancy using optical coherence tomography.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 148 eyes of 74 women, divided into two groups: 27 healthy pregnant women in the third trimester (control group) and 47 age-matched pregnant women in the third trimester with preeclampsia (PE group). Of the 47 subjects in preeclampsia group, 26 were classified as having mild PE and 21 as having severe PE.

Purpose: To analyze choroidal thickness (CT) of pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), type 2 DM and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 144 eyes of 72 pregnant women in the third trimester divided into four groups: 27 non-diabetic pregnant women; 15 pregnant women with GDM; 16 with type 2 DM and 14 with type 1 DM. CT was measured using optical coherence tomography at ten different locations.
Background: The impact of pregnancy on the choroid is still under investigation. The aim of this study is to compare choroidal thickness measurements of healthy pregnant women in the third trimester and healthy non-pregnant women using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 122 eyes of 61 women, divided into two groups: 27 healthy pregnant women in the third trimester and 34 age-matched healthy non-pregnant women.
