Amniotic embolism is a procedure used in normal labor, which is performed when the cervical has opened and has been able to reach the amniotic head. The purpose of the amniotic pressing technique is to actively let the amniotic fluid escape, relieve the pressure of the amniotic chamber, shorten the labor time.

1. How long does the amniotic fluid last?

Usually the maternity ruptures the amniotic fluid when the baby is already eligible to get out of the womb. At that time, the amniotic membrane will rupture itself, causing amniotic effusion through the uterus to the vagina.

According to statistics, one in 12 mothers will break their amniotic fluid during labor. When the amniotic membrane breaks, the process of amniotic fluid flowing will take place gently or violently. Many mothers often confuse membrane water with urine because urination is a common symptom for pregnant mothers during the 3rd trimep.

Even, many pregnant mothers will not rupture the amniotic fluid until birth and the doctor or nurse will perform the amniotic embolism procedure. More hopefully, many cases of babies are born completely or semi-completely in amniotic fluid.

If the amniotic head is inflated, press the amniotic fluid in addition to the contraction of the uterus, if the amniotic head is flattened, press in the uterus contraction.
  • Perform the technique of amniotic embolism by: Gently pushing the needle into the amniotic membrane, at which time the amniotic fluid will flow out according to the fingers, observing the number and color. The other hand draws the amniotic needle. When the amniotic fluid runs out, tear off the amniotic membrane, checking if there are vegetable cords, lyings and pregnancies abnormal.

The risks after the procedure are very rare

After pressing the amniotic fluid, it is necessary to check again if there is a sassy cord, whether there is a phenomenon of satation of the 3 50s and whether the pregnancy has changed anything in order to have a timely direction of treatment. Finally, listen to the pregnancy heart again to see if it is normal, then measure the amount of amniotic fluid and determine the color of the amniotic fluid.

If after pressing the amniotic fluid but having a cord, the woman must lie on her head low, buttocks high, push each other with 2 fingers, if not required to have a pregnancy surgery. If bleeding after an amniotic fluid, or abnormal amniotic fluid (pink, blue) must find a cause for timely treatment.

5. Some notes when pressing the amniotic fluid

If the mother has an early amniotic fluid, then after poking the amniotic head, tearing the amniotic membrane parallel to the vegetable cake, avoid tearing into the vegetable cake that bleeds.

If the amniotic fluid is pressed early with the pregnant mother, so that the maternity is lying on the steep end of the buttocks, using a needle to poke a small hole in the amniotic fluid, poke out the uterus contraction, the amniotic fluid flows slowly, when the amniotic fluid flows almost to tear off the amniotic membrane. If the amniotic fluid rushes out, the maternity will be prone to shock, the sudden decrease in abdominal pressure also causes the mother to panic, this way is also prone to the loss of vegetable cords, dysenterial drops, abnormal stars.

With the horizontal:When there is an internal rotation in the fetus, after the amniotic puncture, it is necessary to tear the amniotic membrane, put your hands in the uterus to find the fetal legs as an internal rotation. In this case, it should be noted that the more amniotic fluid is kept in the uterus, the easier it is to rotate the fetus.
