Hung Yen Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital: Timely emergency treatment for a pregnant woman with a ruptured uterus

On July 21, Hung Yen Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital received and promptly treated a first-time pregnant woman, 33 weeks pregnant, with a history of previous surgery to remove uterine fibroids, who was admitted to the hospital with unusual abdominal pain.

Doctors at Hung Yen Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital performed emergency surgery on a woman with a ruptured uterus.

Doctors suspected that the patient had a ruptured uterus, so they consulted for an ultrasound. The images showed an abnormally thin uterine wall combined with signs of abdominal pain localized to the bottom of the uterus (the site of the old fibroid removal), making the team think of a dangerous complication: uterine rupture at the site of the old surgical incision.

The 33-week-old fetus was safely removed.

Immediately afterwards, the mother was transferred for emergency surgery, and a uterine rupture at the bottom was discovered, about 5 cm long, with about 500 ml of abdominal blood. The 33-week-old fetus was safely removed, weighing 1,800 grams, and was transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The mother was sutured to preserve the uterus, hemodynamic control, and intensive resuscitation after surgery. Currently, the health of both mother and baby is stable.
