Nursing status and experience of abdominal pregnancy
Abdominal pregnancy is a relatively rare ectopic pregnancy, which refers to the
unexpected growth and development of the fetus or embryo in the abdominal cavity
between the broad ligament, fallopian tube and ovary. Abdominal pregnancy is divided
into secondary abdominal pregnancy and primary abdominal pregnancy. Secondary
abdominal pregnancy often occurs after tubal pregnancy rupture or miscarriage, or in
patients with uterine defects; primary abdominal pregnancy refers to the direct
implantation of the fertilized egg in the abdominal cavity, which is extremely rare [1].
During the treatment of abdominal pregnancy, a certain degree of nursing measures are
often used to assist the patient's physical recovery. This article analyzes the diagnosis,
treatment and nursing status of abdominal pregnancy, and draws nursing experience.
1 Diagnosis and clinical manifestations of abdominal pregnancy
After the corresponding examination, the patient's ovaries and fallopian tubes on both
sides are normal, there is no recent pregnancy, and the B-ultrasound imaging shows that
the uterus is empty and the fetus is outside the uterus, which can be diagnosed as
abdominal pregnancy. Most patients with abdominal pregnancy have a history of tubal
pregnancy. The main clinical manifestations are amenorrhea and pregnancy reactions,
and the abdominal pain symptoms gradually worsen. Abdominal and pelvic examinations
will reveal that the fetal limbs are obvious and the fetal heart rate is clear, but the uterine
contour is unclear, the fetus is located on one side of the uterus, and the placental
murmur is large. This type of pregnancy has a very low survival rate. After the fetus dies,
the patient's pregnancy symptoms disappear and the physiological period resumes. As
time goes by, the dead fetus will gradually become a stone fetus or mummification.
Secondary infection will cause abscesses, and eventually the fetal bones will be removed
by the mother's bladder, intestines, catheter or surgery [2].
2 Clinical treatment of abdominal pregnancy
Once the abdominal pregnancy patient is diagnosed, the fetus in the abdomen should be
removed in time. Due to the patient's special characteristics, the placenta of the fetus in
the abdomen is connected to the intestine. If it is not careful, it will cause the patient to
have a risk of heavy bleeding. Therefore, the treatment of the patient's placenta during
the operation should be determined according to the fetal growth time, death time and
attachment position [2]. If the fetus grows and dies within less than four weeks, and the
placenta is attached to the mesentery or peritoneum, the placenta should not be touched
when the fetus is removed and should be left in the abdominal cavity for absorption by
the patient's body. The patient should be given appropriate antibiotics after surgery to
prevent infection, and the HCG index should be tested regularly to determine the degree
of placental absorption.
3 Current status of clinical nursing for abdominal pregnancy
In order to improve the clinical effect during the treatment of abdominal pregnancy
patients, most of them cooperate with the corresponding nursing model, including health
education, psychological care, perioperative care, and continued care. Different nursing
measures have different effects on the treatment effect of patients. The following analysis
is made according to different nursing measures.
3.1 Health education After the abdominal pregnancy patients are admitted to the hospital,
the nursing staff needs to provide them with corresponding disease health education
according to their cultural level and knowledge mastery, and inform the patients of the
cause, pathology and development of the disease. This nursing model can help patients
understand their own diseases, fully grasp the precautions in the treatment and nursing
process, and improve the patients' treatment compliance.
3.2 Psychological care Psychological care for abdominal pregnancy patients refers to the
nursing staff timely understanding the psychological changes and needs of patients,
actively communicating with patients, doing a good job of psychological counseling for
patients, and eliminating their negative emotions of anxiety, fear and uneasiness. This
nursing model can effectively reduce the possibility that patients will be affected by
psychological pressure and the treatment effect.
3.3 Perioperative care Perioperative care for abdominal pregnancy patients specifically
includes three parts: preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative. Preoperative nursing
staff must ensure that patients get enough rest, strictly monitor patients' vital signs such
as body temperature, pulse, heart rate, understand patients' vaginal bleeding and
abdominal pain, and inform patients of precautions such as fasting before surgery;
intraoperative nursing, in addition to monitoring patients' vital signs, also needs to pay
attention to temperature regulation in the operating room, pay attention to the accurate
placement of catheters, abdominal drainage tubes and other tubes, and carefully record
the liquid in the tubes, pay attention to the smoothness of each drainage tube, and avoid
tube blockage; postoperative care is mainly to understand the patient's pain level, and if
necessary, give drug intervention treatment. This nursing model can fully ensure the life
safety of patients undergoing abdominal pregnancy surgery, reduce the patient's pain
level, and reduce the incidence of complications [3].
3.4 Early rehabilitation care For abdominal pregnancy patients, nursing staff will develop
targeted rehabilitation training according to the patient's physical recovery level within a
period of time after surgery, such as aerobic exercise such as limb exercise in bed and
regular walking. The amount of exercise is carried out in a step-by-step manner. This
type of nursing model can effectively prevent the formation of lower limb venous
thrombosis in patients and promote the recovery of limb function after surgery.
3.5 Clinical pathway nursing Clinical pathway nursing is a pathway nursing model
developed by nursing staff to form a clinical pathway nursing team based on the
diagnosis, development and surgical treatment of abdominal pregnancy. It also conducts
procedural and standardized nursing according to the clinical pathway table to ensure
that abdominal pregnancy patients receive effective and high-quality care from admission
to discharge. This nursing model can provide more rational, procedural and efficient
services to abdominal pregnancy patients, reduce the medical costs of patients and
hospitals, and improve the diagnosis and treatment effect [4]. 3.6 Dietary management
During the hospitalization of abdominal pregnancy patients, nursing staff need to provide
corresponding nutritional diet plans, mainly high-nutrition, high-vitamin, low-fat, easily
digestible, semi-liquid foods. Spicy, raw and cold foods are strictly prohibited. Diet can be
in the form of small meals. To prevent constipation, patients should be advised to drink
more water and eat more fresh vegetables. Dietary management can effectively prevent
the increase of abdominal pressure caused by food and avoid causing abdominal
bleeding [5].
3.7 Complication prevention and care Common complications of abdominal pregnancy
patients after surgery include wound infection, abdominal bleeding, hematoma, intestinal
injury, etc. Nursing staff need to understand the patient's physiological feelings and
changes in the condition in a timely manner. If the patient has a bad complexion,
unstable blood pressure and pulse, and abnormal body temperature, the attending
physician should be informed in time, and the attending physician should be cooperated
with to effectively treat the complications of the patient. This nursing model requires
nursing staff to pay close attention to the patient's vital signs to ensure the patient's good
development after surgery.
3.8 Extended care outside the hospital When the patient is discharged from the hospital,
the nursing staff should remind the patient to rest in bed for a period of time, pay
attention to personal hygiene care, change clothes frequently, strengthen diet and
physical exercise, and return to the hospital for regular check-ups. In addition, the
nursing staff should regularly call or visit the patient to understand the patient's physical
condition, give targeted nursing advice, and inform the patient of precautions for the next
pregnancy, etc. [6].
4 Summary
Abdominal pregnancy is an extremely rare ectopic pregnancy with an incidence rate of
only 1:15000 and a fetal survival rate of one in a thousand. However, the maternal
mortality rate is as high as 5%, which is 7.7 times that of ordinary ectopic pregnancy
patients and 89 times that of intrauterine pregnancy. It is a rare ectopic pregnancy that is
extremely harmful to the mother. This article analyzes the different nursing models
currently adopted in the treatment of abdominal pregnancy and concludes that effective
nursing models can serve abdominal pregnancy patients more thoroughly and
comprehensively, improve the prognosis of patients, alleviate patients' pain, and reduce
patients' mortality.
