An anaesthetic management plan for labour and delivery should be discussed and documented in the medical records. CMACE/RCOG Pregnant women with a booking BMI ≥30 should be assessed at their first antenatal visit and throughout pregnancy for the risk of thromboembolism. Antenatal and post delivery thromboprophylaxis should be considered in accordance with the RCOG Clinical Green Top Guideline No Antenatal Thromboprophylaxis Out of 36 women 5 were prescribed aspirin or Enoxaparin as per thromboprophylaxis policy One case of 36 BMI missed h/o DVT B Aspirin BMI 42BMI 44BMI 37BMI 38 Enoxaparin BMI 78 Both = PIH/PET Antenatal-6 Intrapartum-4 GDM Dietary-3 IDDM-2 15 out of 36 = 41.6% Obstetric Medical Problems ANC Review at 36 weeks: - Out of 36 cases 31 were reviewed in ANC (86.1%) USG was done in 29 cases (80.5%) while EFBW was stated in 5 cases only Intrapartum Sheet: - Blank 14 cases - Complete 10 cases - 50% Completion 14 cases 78% 2008 USG 7% % in 2008 Intrapartum Care TEDS in labour: - 20 cases had TEDS in all - 2 cases of SVD - 18 cases of C-section or Instrumental delivery Weight on Admission: - Only 3 cases - 1st case BMI = 78 Repeat nd case BMI = 56 Repeat rd case BMI = 40 Repeat 44 3 cases in 2008 (13.8%) Intrapartum care – IOL (19) Mode of Delivery Normal delivery % Instrumental: 4 forceps 2 ventouse 16.4% Caesarean section % SVD 43% C/s 42% Instrumental 15% 2008 Intrapartum Complications 16% PPH 2008 Overall Blood Loss Baby Weight Postnatal Thromboprophylaxis (36) Postnatal Thromboprophylaxis (21) Only 4 cases had clexane prescribed BD All women with a BMI ≥40 should be offered postnatal thromboprophylaxis regardless of their mode of delivery. CMACE/RCOG 58.3% 48% cases in 2008 CONCLUSION 36 cases in 38 days indicates the proportion of large BMI women that deliver at UHW We are following trust guidelines in most cases i.e. Early booking GTT, Anaesthesia review, 36 week follow-up, etc. We still are falling short on: 1.
