Management of Miscarriage and Ectopic Pregnancy by Udo Marquardt, Journal of Emergency Nurse

 

Abstract : The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (2010) estimates that 137,000 women in England experience per vaginal (PV) bleeding and abdominal pain in early pregnancy every year, while the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (2006) estimates that PV bleeding occurs in between 10 and 25 per cent of women who are less than 12 weeks pregnant and that up to half of these women miscarry. Some authors suggest that care for such women could be improved and that their psychological needs could be met more effectively (Washbourne and Cox 2002). This article aims to help emergency department nurses give safe and compassionate care to women who experience PV bleeding by offering an overview of its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstrak : National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (2010) menganggarkan bahawa 137,000 wanita di England mengalami pendarahan faraj (PV) dan sakit perut pada awal kehamilan setiap tahun, sementara Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2006) menganggarkan bahawa pendarahan PV berlaku pada antara 10 hingga 25 peratus wanita yang mengandung kurang dari 12 minggu dan sehingga separuh daripada wanita ini keguguran. Sebilangan pengarang mencadangkan agar penjagaan wanita seperti itu dapat ditingkatkan dan keperluan psikologi mereka dapat dipenuhi dengan lebih berkesan (Washbourne dan Cox 2002). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membantu jururawat jabatan kecemasan memberikan rawatan yang selamat dan penuh kasih sayang kepada wanita yang mengalami pendarahan PV dengan memberikan gambaran keseluruhan mengenai patofisiologi, diagnosis dan rawatannya.
