Purposes of Pharmacologic and Nonpharmacologic Measures (1) Prevent uterine atony and postpartum hemorrhage (2) Relieve pain from uterine contractions, perineal wounds, and hemorrhoids (3) Enhance or suppress lactation (production and release of milk by mammary glands) (4) Promote bowel function (5) Enhance immunity NONPHARMACOLOGIC MEASURES FOR COMMON POSTPARTUM NEEDS INDICATION INTERVENTIONS Uterine  Patient positioned on abdomen with pillow under abdomen for 20-30 min for 3-4 contractions d  Distraction, breathing techniques, therapeutic touch, relaxation, guided imagery, ambulation  No heat to abdomen because of risk of uterine relaxation and increased bleeding Perineal wound  Ice packs/glove (covered in thin, absorbent material to protect tissue) for 6-8 resulting from hours after delivery episiotomy or  Patient positioned on side as much as possible with pillow between legs laceration  Early and frequent ambulation  Perineal exercises (Kegel exercises)  Cool sitz bath 2-3 h after delivery  Warm sitz bath 12-24 h after delivery t.i.d./q.i.d.  Area cleansed front to back using perispray squeeze bottle or cleansing shower  Patient tightens buttocks or squeezes buttocks together before sitting and sits tall and flat, not rolled back onto coccyx  No tampons, douche, or feminine hygiene sprays  No intercourse until after lochia has ceased or as advised by health care provider Hemorrhoids  As above but particularly:  Ice  Sims position to help increase venous return  Warm, moist heat; sitz bath  Witch hazel pads (e.g., Tucks) Lactation  Tight bra worn continuously for 10-14 days suppression  Normal fluid intake  No manipulation or stimulation of breasts  Pyrioxidine (B6) 200 mg for 5 days  Sage tea every 6 hours  Alcohol tincture 3-4 mL every 6 hours Engorgement  As above, plus ice to axillary area of breasts if bottle feeding, or apply warm compresses if breastfeeding  Express small amount of colostrum or milk (if breastfeeding) by hand expression before putting infant to breast to facilitate latching on Sore or cracked  Wear absorbent breast pads to keep moisture away from nipples nipples  Do not use soap on nipples  Air-dry nipples after nursing  Express small amount of breast milk on nipples to use as a protective lubricant  Apply hypoallergenic purified lanolin (Lansinoh, PureLan) to nipples as protective lubricant to promote healing  For cracked nipples, use comfort gel pads (Hydrogel pads)  Do not use nipple shields because they can promote chafing A Legacy of Excellent Education in Virtus et Scientia Email: [email protected] | Tel.

Nonsteroidal agents may be used to control postpartal discomfort and pain, with narcotic agents reserved for more severe pain such as that experienced by the patient after cesarean delivery, tubal ligation, or extensive perineal laceration. COMMONLY USED POSTPARTUM SYSTEMIC ANALGESICS acetaminophen (Tylenol) Watch a video clip on postpartum pain by clicking this link : acetaminophen/codeine (Tylenol No. 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpQzI NC3AEc acetaminophen and propoxyphene ibuprofen (Motrin) codeine sulfate ketorolac tromethamine (Toradol) acetaminophen and hydrocodone (Lortab) meperidine (Demerol) morphine sulfate nalbuphine oxycodone acetaminophen (Percocet) PAIN RELIEF FOR PERINEAL WOUNDS AND HEMORRHOIDS Pregnancy and the delivery process increase the pressure on perineal soft tissue. The tissue may become ecchymotic or edematous. Increased edema, ecchymosis, and pain may occur if an episiotomy (incision made to enlarge the vaginal opening to facilitate newborn delivery) or perineal laceration is present. The perineum is assessed for Redness, Ecchymosis, Edema, Discharge, and Approximation (REEDA). Hemorrhoids that developed during pregnancy may be exacerbated by the pushing during labor. Comfort measures (ice packs immediately after birth, tightening of the buttocks before sitting, use of peribottles and cool or warm sitz baths) and selected topical agents (witch hazel and dibucaine ointment) may relieve pain and minimize discomfort. Note: Rectal suppositories should not be used by women with fourth-degree perineal lacerations. A Legacy of Excellent Education in Virtus et Scientia Email: [email protected] | Tel.

Estrogenic substances are much less popular than in the past because of the increased incidence of thrombophlebitis associated with the high dosage needed to suppress lactation and concerns about potential carcinogenic effects. Presently nonpharmacologic measures are recommended for lactation suppression, such as wearing a supportive bra 24 hours a day for 10 to 14 days or using axillary ice packs PROMOTION OF BOWEL FUNCTION Constipation is common during the postpartum period. The residual effects of progesterone on smooth muscle decrease peristalsis. This decreased paristalsis, added to decreased liquid intake during labor, decreased activity, and relaxation of the abdominal muscles, amplifies the problem. Patients who deliver by cesarean section are even more likely to experience constipation and flatus (intestinal gas).

During pregnancy, minimal amounts of fetal blood may cross the placenta. Also, an abortion (spontaneous, therapeutic, or induced), amniocentesis, ectopic pregnancy, previa, and abruption result in some mixing of maternal and fetal blood. Subsequently, anti-D antibodies develop in an Rh-negative mother with an Rh-positive fetus; with the development of these antibodies, the mother becomes sensitized. To understand more watch this video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHZKG75IuHI RH ISOIMMUNIZATION a. During pregnancy or delivery, a small amount of fetal blood may enter the mother’s circulation. b. When the mother is Rh-negative and is pregnant with an Rh- positive fetus, the mother’s immune system responds by producing anti-RhO(D) antibodies. c. In subsequent pregnancies, these antibodies cross the placenta and enter the fetal circulation; when the fetus is Rh-positive, the anti-RhO(D) antibodies will attack the fetal red blood cells and cause hemolysis. RUBELLA VACCINE Maternal rubella, also called German measles, is a potentially devastating infection for the fetus, depending on gestational age.

Postpartum patients who received blood products may be vaccinated if repeat titer is drawn 6-8 wk later to ensure that seroconversion has occurred. Excreted in breast milk; use caution. Important for patient to use contraceptive method for 4 weeks following administration, because rubella is teratogenic. Rubella titer may be reassessed 3 mo after administration.

Write your answer on the box provided below Case Scenario: TA, an older adolescent, was admitted to the hospital for labor induction/augmentation with signs and symptoms of gestational hypertension at 42 weeks’ pregnant (gravida 4, para 1). TA’s mother arrived at the hospital when TA was 8 cm dilated, in time for the late stages of TA’s labor. Her mother remained as TA’s support person throughout the delivery, which occurred at 6:00 AM by vacuum extraction. TA had a continuous epidural for her labor and delivery. An episiotomy was performed at the time of delivery, and a fourth-degree laceration occurred. A cluster of hemorrhoids was evident. Baby JA, weighing 8 lb 7 oz, had Apgar scores of 7 and 9. The infant is alert and active. TA lives with her parents and has been going to high school while working part time in an automotive parts store. TA wants to keep her infant and to breastfeed “for at least 3 months.” She plans to finish school and return to work in 6 weeks. Immediately after the delivery, the nurse conducts an assessment of TA, analyzes the data, and determines and prioritizes TA’s nursing care needs. The same is done for the newborn.
