Retrospective Analysis of Eighty-Nine Caesarean Section Cases with Abnormal Placental Invasion

WOS: 000463175700005PubMed ID: 31080952Objective: Abnormal placental invasion (APT) is defined as an abnormal adherence of the placenta to the underlying uterine wall. Undiagnosed API may result in catastrophic, maternal haemorrhage during delivery. In the present retrospective analysis, anaesthetic and surgical records were evaluated in patients with API who had undergone caesarean delivery (CD). Methods: Clinical records of 89 patients with API who had undergone CD were retrospcctively reviewed in our clinic between April 2010 and February 2017. Results: Amongst the patients, 87 (97.8%) had a history of previous CD and 68 (76.40:0; had placenta previa. In regression analysis, weak positive con-elation was found between an Mere :. s packed red blood cell (PRBC) (r=0.420, p=0.001) and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) (r=0.476, p=0.022) transfusions and time of hospital stns. PRBC and FFP consumptions were significantly greater in intensive care unit (ICU) patients than in non-ICU patients (p<0.001). ICU require ment were significantly greater in patients who had more than average crystalloid (p=0.004) and colloid (
