ANTENATAL CARE
![Page 3: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT??
ANTENATAL CARE is one of the 4 pillars of
safe motherhood
-Family planning
-Safe & Clean Delivery
-Essential Obstetric care
![Page 4: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
EVIDENCES…
Inadequate antenatal visits are associated
with increased neonatal mortality in the
present or without high risk pregnancy (Chen
2007)
Marginal increase in neonatal death in the
reduced antenatal visit (Dowstell T 2010)
![Page 5: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SUMMARY FROM CEMD REPORT 2006-2008
Principal cause of maternal deaths are obstetric
embolism, medical disorders in pregnancy,
PPH & hypertensive disorder
The risk of maternal death was higher in
woman aged >40 years & in mothers who had
>6 childrens
Deaths due to associated medical illness are
rising
Maternal death tagged with the green code
increased from 26.6% in 2006 to 32.3% in 2008

AIMS….
1. Screening for risk factors
2. Treating existing conditions & complications
3. Providing information to patients
4. Offer intervention
![Page 7: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. SCREENING FOR RISK
FACTORS
Pregnancy is an
normal process
Assessing pregnant
woman to identify
any risks factor
![Page 8: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Ministry of Health has introduced colour
coding for the level of obstetric care
COLOUR
CODING
RISK & LEVEL OF CARE
WHITE Low risk- level of care by PHN/ JM in clinics
GREEN Level of care- MO in health clinic- shared care with
nurses under supervision of MO
YELLOW Urgent referral to Hospital with O&G specialist/ FMS in
clinic, shared care possible
RED Urgent admission to the hospital
![Page 9: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Antenatal patient coded GREEN or YELLOW
can be seen by health nursing staff as part of
shared antenatal care
Antenatal patients who are coded RED and
are admitted to the hospital should have the
colour coded changed appropriately by the
doctors managing the patient upon discharge
if she has not delivered yet
![Page 10: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
?? LOGISTIC PROBLEMS
Antenatal patients who are coded YELLOW or GREEN but lives in an inaccessible area of Sarawak or who are unable to see MO/FMS or Specialist should:
1. Advise to stay with relative near MCH with DR or a hospital for the duration of her pregnancy
2. Advise to stay in the nearest “halfway” accomodations which are available in some clinics in the state
3. Nurses in remote clinics without DR should refer the patient via radio/ phone line to MO/FMS or Specialist
![Page 11: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

VTE SCORING….
According to
SARAWAK VTE RISK
ASSESSMENT
AIMS To reduce
maternal mortality
from venous
thromboembolism
Scoring should be
done for every patient
and must be
documented inside
antenatal card
![Page 16: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ROUTINE MEDICAL
EXAMINATION..
To be done by MO in the
1st booking and also 3rd
trimester
To examine patient from
head to toe to detect any
problem, so that early
referral can be made and
management can be done
appropriately

Offer intervention that should have known
benefits and acceptable to pregnant woman (but
need to ensure the availability of the facilities
before offering any intervention)
![Page 20: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
FOLLOW UP
Frequency of follow up depends on risk factors
Those with high risk required frequent follow up
Level of care depends on the coding
![Page 21: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HISTORY & EXAMINATION
AIMS- TO ASSESS MATERNAL & FETAL
STATUS
BP, urine albumin, urine glucose, weight
Haemoglobin
SFH (Symphisiofundal height) and HOF (Height
of fundus)
EFW (estimated fetal weight)
Fetal heart rate
![Page 22: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SIMPHYSIOFUNDAL HEIGHT
(SFH)
SFH is a measure of the size of the uterus
It is used to assess fetal growth &
development during pregnancy
Simple & not expensive
![Page 23: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
It is measured from the top of the mother's uterus
to the top of the mother's pubic bone in
centimeters
![Page 24: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
HOF (height of fundus)
34
![Page 25: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Fundal height roughly corresponds to
gestational age in weeks between 16 to 36
weeks for a vertex fetus.
When a tape measure is unavailable, finger
widths are used to estimate centimeter
(week) deviations from a corresponding
anatomical landmark.
However, landmark distances from the pubic
symphysis are highly variable depending on
body type.
In clinical practice, recording the actual fundal
height measurement is standard practice
beginning around 20 weeks gestation
![Page 26: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
34
At xiphisternum, HOF
either 36 or 40 weeks
- 40 weeks if there is
fullness of flank
- 36 weeks if no
fullness of flank
2 finger breath below
xiphisternum, HOF
either 34 or 38 weeks
- 38 weeks if there is
fullness of flank
- 34 weeks if no
fullness of flank
At umbilicus equal 22
weeks
At symphisis pubis
equal to 12 weeks
![Page 27: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Most caregivers will record their patient's fundal
height on every prenatal visit.
Measuring the fundal height can be an indicator
of proper fetal growth and amniotic fluid
development
Any discrepancy may require IMMEDIATE
referral to MO or specialist TRO IUGR or
MACROSOMIA
IUGR is a SERIOUS matter as it will increase
perinatal morbidity and mortality
![Page 29: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ULTRASOUND…
ROLE OF ULTRASOUND
In Sarawak, a total of 2 ultrasound scans is
considered the minimum standard for low risk
antenatal patient
1. Dating scan: usually done in 1st trimester
2. Ultrasound scan somewhere during 3rd trimester
as a general screening for fetal growth, placenta
localisation and liquor assessment
![Page 30: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
FREQUENCY…
LOW RISK
1. Dating scan at booking
2. Detail scan at 18-24 weeks (if indicated)
3. Around 28-32 weeks for growth, liquor & placenta
HIGH RISK
1. Dating scan at booking
2. Detail scan at 18-24 weeks (if indicated)
3. Serial growth scans, every 2 weeks from 24 weeks
4. At 28-32 weeks for placenta location
5. At 36 weeks to assess lie & presentation
![Page 31: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

SCREENING !!!!
![Page 39: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Pulmonary embolism is
the main cause of
maternal mortality in
Malaysia and
Sarawak
![Page 40: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Need to screen for any evidence of VTE (deep
vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) as
currently VTE is the main cause of maternal
mortality in Malaysia
It is preventable cause of maternal death
The VTE Risk Management programme was
implemented in all MOH hospitals in the state
of Sarawak in July 2013
![Page 41: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
2. Postnatal blues…
At each postnatal contact, women should be asked about their emotional wellbeing, what family and social support they have and their usual coping strategies for dealing with day to day matters.
Women and their families/partners should be encouraged to tell their healthcare professional about any changes in mood, emotional state and behaviour that are outside of the woman’s normal pattern.
![Page 42: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
E-NOTIFICATIONS…
E-NOTIFICATION is one form of communication in between hospital and health clinic in managing both high risk antenatal and postnatal mothers
HIGH RISK patient that will be discharged from hospital will have E-NOTIFICATION
Any information pertaining to the patient, plan upon discharge, treatment or follow up will be e-mail to the respective clinic to ensure that the patient will not be lost in follow up and the plan of management will be continue
Some time the nurse will be required to do regular home visit for certain patient
![Page 43: Antenatal care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051414/55a701ad1a28abf25e8b4898/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
INFO…..
Provide information
1. Nutrition, diet & supplement during post-partum period
2. Breast feeding
3. General hygiene & perineal hygiene
4. Post-natal exercise
5. Neonatal care
6. Contraception
7. Pap smear

CONTRACEPTION
The right contraception choice improves
effectiveness and compliance
It promotes planned safer future pregnancies
and prevents unplanned risky pregnancy
Appropriate counselling is vital for a successful
family planning programme
