Introduction
“The Nightingale of Modern Nursing”
“Modern-Day Mother of Nursing.”
"The 20th century Florence Nightingale."
The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those
activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he
had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain
independence as rapidly as possible" (Henderson, 1966).

3. USG:- Single dead foetus, placenta appears post amniotic fluid is adequate, FL-33mm, GA-20wks
11. Medications:
a. Inj. Labetalol: - it is a unique among adrenergic anotagonists in blocking both a & b receptors.
Labetalol is orally affected & undergone considerable first pass metabolism.
Indication: - all grades of hypertension. Specially used in phenochromocytoma & clonidine
withdrawal hypertension.
Doses: - start with 50mg twice daily, increase at fort night interval to 100-200 mg twice daily. Usual
dose 200-400 mg daily. For my patient 20 mg iv stat 4-6 hrly.
Contraindication: - children, allergy, right ventricular failure, secondary pulmonary hypertension,
A.V. block, sinus bradycardia shock, CHF, pregnancy, lactation.
Special precaution: - abrupt withdrawal, diabetes, cardiac failure, anaesthesia, hyperthyroidism,
postural hypotension, eye & skin reaction, liver dysfunction.
b. Inj. Ractac:- it is a potent long acting histamine H2 receptor antagonist for the treatment of duodenal
& gastric ulcer. It inhibits basal & stimulating secretions of gastric acid, reducing both the volume &
acid & pepsin content of the secretion. It has long duration of action.
Indication:- duodenal ulcer, benign gastric ulcer, to reduce acidity.
Dosage:- maintaining dose is 150 mg at night, for my patient 150 mg iv BD.
Contraindication:- hypersensitivity
Side-effects:- skin rashes, headache, dizziness, mental confusion, hallucination, blurred vision,
leucopoenia, arthalgia.
c. Inj. Taxim: - broad spectrum cephalosporin for parenteral administration, is bactericidal and effective
against gram negative proteus spp both indole negative & positive.
Indication: - respiratory, urinary, bone, soft tissue infection, gonorrhoea, meningitis.
Doses: - adult: 2-6 gms daily in 2-3 divided dose. Max. 12 gm daily.
Contraindication:- hypersensitivity, severe renal failure.
Side effect: - urticaria, drug fever, anaphylaxis, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, leukopenia.
d. Tab Misoprostol:- Prostaglandins are derivatives of protanoic acid from which they derive their
names. Prostaglandins, PGE2 and PGF2α are exclusively used in clinical practice.
Indications:- Induction of abortion, termination of molar pregnancy, cervical ripening prior to induction
of abortion or labour, acceleration of labour, management of atonic postpartum haemorrhage, medical
management of tubal ectopic pregnancy.
Contraindications:- Absolute:- Hypersensitivity of the compound, Asthma, Acute PID. Relative:-
Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, renal disease, peptic ulcer, jaundice, uterine scar.
Mechanism of action:- PGs sensitise the myometrium to oxytocin. PGF2α acts mainly on the cervix due
to its collagenolytic property.
Dosage and forms:- PGE1 misoprostol 50 mg,given four hourly by oral ,vaginal or rectal route for
induction of labour, Injectable or vials:- PGE2- prostin E2 containing 1mg/ml, PGF2 α( Dinoprost
tromethamine), containing 5mg/ml, Methyl analauge of PGF2 α (corboprost) containing 2.5 mg /10ml
vial, PGE1 misoprostol 50 mg,given four hourly by oral ,vaginal or rectal route for induction of
labour.(Misoprostol ) 50µg 4 hourly schedule by oral , vaginal or rectal route is used . It is rapidly
absorbed and is more effective than oxytocin or dinoprostone for induction of labour.
Adverse reactions:- Headache, dizziness, hypotension, leg cramps, joint swelling, blurred vision.
e. MgSo4:- Action:- Decrease acetylcholine in motor nerve terminals, which is responsible for anti
convulsant properties, there by decreases neuro muscular irritability . it also decrease intra cranial
oedema and helps in diuresis. Its peripheral vasodilatation effect improves the uterine blood supply
Use:- It is a valuable drug lowering seizer’s threshold in women with pregnancy induced hypertension.
The drug is used in preterm labour to decrease uterine activity.
Doses:- prophylactic MgSo4 2.5 gm iv 4 hrly.
Side effect:- Maternal: Severe CNS depression( respiratory depression and circulatory collapse),
evidence of muscular paresis( diminished knee jerks). Foetal: Tachycardia, hypoglycaemia.
In normal pregnancy:
(1) Angiotensin-II (part of a2 globulin) is destroyed by angiotensinase which is liberated from the placenta.
Thus, the blood pressure is stabilised.
(2) The vascular system becomes refractory, selectively to pressor agent angiotensin-II. This is probably
brought out by vascular synthesis of prostaglandin I2 and nitric oxide (NO) which have got vasodilator
effect. The interaction between the two systems stabilises the blood pressure in normal pregnancy.
OEDEMA: The cause of excessive accumulation of fluids in the extracellular tissue spaces is not clear.
Excessive retention of sodium in the oedematous state is probably due to increased aldosterone out of
activation of corticosterone by angiotensin-II. But paradoxically in severe pre-eclampsia, aldosterone level
falls. Diminished renal blood flow, decreased glomerular filtration rate and increased tubular reabsorption
are also responsible for retention of sodium.
PROTEINURIA : The probable chain of events is as follows. Spasm of the afferent glomerular arte-rioles
—> anoxic damage to the endothelium of the glomerular tuft —> increased capillary permeability —>
increased leakage of proteins. Tubular reabsorption is simultaneously depressed. Albumin constitutes 50-
60% and alpha globulin constitutes 10-15% of the total proteins excreted in the urine.
Pathophysiology
While the question as to why the syndrome occurs still remains unsolved, the pathological changes are well
documented, specially in severe pre-eclampsia or in eclampsia.
13. Disease condition (comparison of book picture with patient):
My patient having three disease conditions that is IUD baby, pre-eclampsia & bell’s plasy:
A. IUD: (intra uterine fetal death):-
Definition: - IUD embraces all the fetal death weighing 500 gm or more occurring both during
pregnancy (ante partum death) and during labour (intrapartum).
OR
Ante partum death occurring beyond the period of viability is termed as IUD.
Etiology:-
a. Maternal (5-10%):-
Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (in my Antiphospholipid syndrome
patient) Thrombophilias
Diabetes Abnormal labour
Maternal infection Post term pregnancy
Hyperpyrexia Systemic lupus erythematosus
b. Fetal (25-40%)
Chromosomal abnormalities Rh- incompatibility
Major structural anomalies Non immune hydrops
Infection IUGR
c. Placental (20-35%)
APH Placental insufficiency(may be the reason
Cord accident for my patient)
TTTS
d. Iatrogenic:-

Misoprostol 25-50 µg vaginally or orally repeat
after every 4 hr.
Caesarean section (abnormal case)
B. PRE-ECLAMPSIA:-
Definition: - pre-eclampsia is a multi system disorder of unknown aetiology characterised by
development of hypertension to the extent of 140/90 mmhg or more with proteinuria after 20 weeks in
a previously nor-motensive & non proteinuria women.
The pre-eclampsia feature may appear even before the 20th week as in case hydatidiform mole & acute
Polyhydramnios.

Investigation:-
1. Urine
2. Ophthalmic examination
3. Blood values (serum uric acid level>4.5 mg/dl)
4. Antenatal fetal monitoring
Treatment:-
Pre-eclampsia is not a totally preventable disease. Somewhat, it is found more related to chains of social ills
such as poor maternal nutrition, limited or no antenatal care and poor reproductive education. However,
some specific "high risk" factors leading to pre-eclampsia may be identified in an individual. These are —
Regular antenatal check up at frequent interval from the beginning of pregnancy to detect at the earliest,
the rapid gain in weight or a tendency of rising blood pressure specially the diastolic one.
The patient is advised to take adequate rest in bed on her left side at least extra 2 hours at noon from the
20th week of pregnancy onwards.
Low dose aspirin 60 mg daily beginning early in pregnancy in potentially high risk patients seems
promising. It selectively reduces platelet thromboxane production. Aspirin in low doses is known to
inhibit cyclo-oxygenase in platelets thereby preventing the formation of thromboxane A2 without
interfering with prostacyclin generation,
Calcium supplementation (2 gm per day) reduces the risk of pre-eclampsia,
Antioxidants, vitamins E and C, taking from 16-22 weeks onwards reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia.
She should be on a well balanced diet rich in protein.
C. BELL’S PALSY:-
Definition: - It is a disorder characterised by paralysis of facial nerve.
Aetiology:-
Viral infection Hereditary factor
Inflammation of nerve Diabetes mellitus
Hypertension Pregnancy
Multiple sclerosis
Anatomy:-
Facial nerve originals in pons and branches into moto and sensory fibres. Motor fibres supply muscles of
the face and are responsible for facial expression. Sensory fibre supply anterior two third of the tongue
and are responsible for taste.
Pathophysiology:-
Presence of the aetiology factors causes inflammation of the facial nerve. Complete paralysis of the
nerve result in lon of motor sensory and parasympathetic function ipsilater to the lesions.
