To assess oxygen saturation of the blood
What is stimulated by the infant suckling at the breast?
Posterior pituitary gland
What hormone is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland in response to the infant suckling at the breast?
Oxytocin
What is the benefit of increasing oxygen saturation in the blood?
It improves the delivery of oxygen to the body's tissues
What is the result of increasing oxygen saturation in the remaining blood cells?
The body's tissues receive more oxygen
What is the effect of oxytocin on the uterus?
Contraction
What is the trigger for the secretion of oxytocin?
Infant suckling at the breast
Why is it important to monitor oxygen saturation in the blood?
To ensure the body's tissues are receiving enough oxygen
What is the result of uterine contraction caused by oxytocin?
Decreased uterine size
Study Notes
Shock and Hemorrhage
- Hemorrhage is a type of shock (صدمة)
- In shock, reactions occur to increase oxygen content in each erythrocyte (red blood cell) and cause faster circulation of the remaining blood
- As a result, urine output decreases and eventually stops due to decreased blood flow to the kidneys
Medical Management of Hypovolemic Shock
- Giving oxygen to increase the saturation of remaining blood cells
- A pulse oximeter is used to assess oxygen saturation of the blood
- Other possible medical management actions may include:
- (Note: no other actions mentioned in the text apart from giving oxygen)
Posterior Pituitary Gland and Oxytocin
- The infant suckling at the breast stimulates the woman's posterior pituitary gland to secrete oxytocin
- Oxytocin causes uterine contraction
Learn about the effects of hemorrhage on the body and the medical management of hypovolemic shock, including oxygen therapy and blood flow restoration.
