Spontaneous bilateral ectopic gestation is very rare. The authors report a case diagnosed and taken care of at Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital, Ouagadougou. It was a 30-year-old patient with no known pathological history. She had presented at the obstetric emergencies with a state of hypovolemic shock by haemoperitoneum with digestive disorders, pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, and a mention of delayed menstruation. The ultrasound coupled with the urinary immunological pregnancy test confirmed the diagnosis of ruptured ectopic pregnancy and a bilateral form was suspected. A laparotomy in emergency confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral ectopic gestation with a right ampullary unruptured pregnancy and a left isthmic ruptured gestation. A bilateral salpingectomy was performed and counseling was made for the use of medical help of procreation in case of future need of pregnancy.
Background The practice of a first caesarean section can condition the future obstetric prognosis. The aim of this work was to study the indications of the first caesarean sections at the Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital in Ouagadougou. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with prospective collection. The data were collected from 1 March to 30 May 2018. The women who benefited from caesarean section for the first time were the study population. The review of the documents, the interview with the patients and the expert opinion were the techniques used. The expert opinion made it possible to determine whether or not the caesarean section was preventable. Results: The first caesarean sections accounted for 62.5% (280/448) of all caesarean sections and 34.6% (280/810) of all childbirths in the period. Caesarean section was urgently performed in 95% of cases. It was mostly an obstetrical indication. Probable fetal asphyxia was the first major indication (27.5%) followed by preeclampsia/eclampsia (15.7%) and uterine pre-rupture syndrome (8.9%). Caesarean section was found to be avoidable in 53 cases (18.9%). Probable fetal asphyxia was the most common indication (22.4%) of these preventable caesarean sections. Conclusions: The good management of preeclampsia, the strengthening of the birth room in fetal and maternal monitoring equipment, the close coaching of physicians in specialization and the periodic audits of practices would reduce the preventable caesarean sections.
Aim: To report a case of bilateral tubal molar and embryonic pregnancy diagnosed and treated at the Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Observation: It was an 18-year-old patient, G2P0 with no known pathological history. She was received in obstetric emergencies for suspicion of ectopic pregnancy in a two-month amenorrhea context. At the admission, the physical examination had found a sensitivity of the hypogastric region with a cry of the umbilicus and the bleeding. At pelvic ultrasound, the uterus was empty with a medium-abundance pelvic effusion and a left extra uterine mass. The initial rate of beta HCG was 5700 ml IU per ml. A framed laparotomy was carried out. The operative exploration has revealed a right tubal pregnancy cracked and a left unbroken tubal pregnancy. The diagnosis of a bilateral ectopic pregnancy was retained. A right salpingectomy and a left tubal caesarean section were carried out. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a left embryonic ectopic pregnancy associated with a right molar ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion: The systematic use of histological analysis for any extra uterine pregnancy treatment is required to not ignore an associated molar pregnancy.
INTRODUCTIONPatient satisfaction is an important indicator of health care quality. [1][2][3] The quality assessment should then, beyond the technical aspect, take into account the quality perceived by health care users. 3-5 However, users satisfaction and its quantification are difficult to identify. The essential characteristic of satisfaction is the fact that it is not a quantitative factor but it belongs to the behavior's field including its emotional dimension. 6,7 The problem of patient's satisfaction is more critical when they are admitted in an emergency context. Indeed, the numerous expectations of the patients and the urgency of the medical procedures can sometimes be antagonistic. In Burkina Faso, there were significant changes in health care facilities, since the notification in March 2016 of free health care for women and children under five years old. The attendance of health facilities increased ABSTRACT Background: The quality of care perceived by the users of health care services is an important indicator of the quality of care. The aim of this study was to assess the satisfaction of patients received in obstetric and gynecological emergencies department of Yalgado Ouedraogo Teaching Hospital before and after the introduction of free care. Methods: This was a cross-sectional investigation. Data collection was carried out from February to July 2016, covering the last three months before the start of free care and the first three months of implementation of this free policy in Burkina Faso. Results: A total of 620 patients formed the sample. The reception (p=0.0001), the waiting period (p=0.0001), respect for treatment schedules (p=0.0001), respect for intimacy (p=0.0001), communication between providers and patients (p=0.007), the comfort of the delivery room (p=0.003) and the comfort of the ward room (p=0.002) were more favorably appreciated by patients before the free treatment than during that period. Overall patient satisfaction was better before the effectiveness of free care (p=0.003). Conclusions:The realization of free care process was followed by a lower patient's satisfaction reflecting an alteration in the quality of health care services. A situational analysis of this free health care process is necessary in order to make corrective measures. Also adequate preventive measures should be adopted before any implementation to a larger scale of this free policy.
