Diglipur, March 21: Yet another maternal death was averted by timely intervention by the doctors/specialists at CHC, Diglipur on 19th March 2022.
As per report, a 32 year old pregnant woman (G3P2L2 with 2 months pregnancy) was taken to RP Hospital, Mayabunder with severe pain in abdomen, vomiting and giddiness. She was investigated and diagnosed as having a ruptured ectopic pregnancy with the help of ultrasound at RP Hospital. She was resuscitated and immediately referred to CHC, Diglipur for further management.
The patient was received by DR. ASHU gynaecologist at 10.30pm at CHC, Diglipur on 19th March 2022 in critical condition with low BP and severe anaemia due to profuse bleeding inside the abdomen following rupture of tubal ectopic pregnancy leading to severe haemorrhagic shock. The patient was directly taken to the operation theatre, an emergency LAPAROTOMY and SALPINGECTOMY was done to arrest the bleeding by the gynaecologist assisted by a team of specialists such as general surgeon, anesthetist and nursing officer. Though it was a critical case, the operation was successfully done by Dr. Ashu adding one more feather in her cap. The gynaecologist did a number of operations like this in the past and saved the precious lives of the pregnant women of Diglipur/North & Middle Andaman. At present the patient is out of danger and is recovering at CHC Diglipur, a source said.
