The effectiveness of shock index in detecting hemorrhages following cesarean delivery in early stages: A descriptive study

Öz

Aim: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a significant cause of maternal mortality and morbidity during the postpartum period that can be prevented by early detection. This study aims to determine whether pulse oximetry and shock index can be used as noninvasive indicators for detecting postpartum hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock. Methods: This observational study analyzed the medical records of 155 women who underwent cesarean delivery (C/S) at a single center between October 2022 and December 2022. the study protocol was approved by the ethics committee of our institution. Results: Our results indicate strong correlations between pulse rate and shock index at the first 30 minutes and one hour after surgery (r=0.743 and r=0.743, respectively; p≤0.05). There is a weakly negative correlation between preoperative hemoglobin levels and shock index (r=-0.172; p≤0.05), and a moderately negative correlation between postoperative hemoglobin level (r=-0.427; p≤0.05), hemoglobin variation (r=-0.445; p≤0.05), and shock index. Conclusion: Postpartum hemorrhages can significantly be predicted by the shock index. It can also help obstetrics and midwives in the decision-making process regarding blood transfusions and surgical interventions based on the patient's response to treatment. It is a simple and reliable parameter that can assist healthcare providers in predicting postpartum hemorrhage. Despite its simplicity, it is often overlooked and should be emphasized in educational and practical programs, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
