Whitney Houston death story. The cause of death of Whitney Houston's only daughter has been revealed

Pregnant women and their families usually expect one answer from an ultrasound examination - what is the sex of the child. For an obstetrician-gynecologist, a research method is necessary to promptly identify impaired blood flow during pregnancy and abnormal fetal development.

The management plan and delivery tactics depend on this. To understand the mechanisms of the disorder, it is necessary to consider the capabilities of the circulatory system between mother and child.

Structure of the uteroplacental blood flow

Mother and child are connected not only by the placenta, but also complex system blood vessels. Therefore, all joint blood circulation is usually divided into levels that cannot exist in isolation, but work only in combination.

  • The central part of the system is the placenta. It ensures the “absorption” of products from the maternal blood through the villi that have grown deep into the wall of the uterus. At the same time, the blood of mother and child does not mix. Several rows of special cells form a hematoplacental barrier, which is a serious obstacle to substances unnecessary for the fetus. Through it, the waste blood returns to the mother's venous system.
  • The second part of the blood flow consists of the branches of the uterine arteries. If before pregnancy female body they are in a collapsed state and are called spiral, then from a period of 1 month they experience a loss of the muscle layer that can cause spasm. And by four months, the arteries transform into full-fledged trunks, filled with blood and heading to the placenta area. It is this mechanism, useful for feeding the fetus, that can turn out to be fatal during uterine bleeding: the walls of the vessels can no longer contract.
  • The vessels in the umbilical cord form the third pathway of blood flow. There are 2 arteries and a vein here. They connect the baby with the placenta and form the fetal-placental circle. Reduced blood flow at this level causes the most severe damage to the fetus.

How is placental circulation disrupted?

Poor blood flow associated with the placenta is called placental insufficiency. It can occur at any stage of pregnancy in two forms.

Acute appears suddenly, even during childbirth, and does not depend on the duration of pregnancy. The fetus falls into a state of hypoxia (oxygen deficiency), which threatens its death.

The main pathological mechanisms of this condition:

  • premature placental abruption;
  • heart attack due to thrombosis.

Chronic often complicates the course of pregnancy after 13 weeks. Symptoms appear in the third trimester. The mechanism of formation is early aging of the placenta due to the deposition of fibrin on the villi.


As a result of changes in the structure of chorionic villi (placental tissue), the functioning of the hematoplacental barrier ceases, metabolic processes between the maternal body and the fetus are disrupted

Negative consequences in such conditions, depending on the degree of violation, can lead to inevitable death of the fetus.

Causes of blood flow disorders during pregnancy

Various reasons can cause disruption of uteroplacental blood flow. These include common maternal diseases:

  • pathology of the neuroendocrine system (diabetes mellitus, diseases thyroid gland and adrenal glands, changes in the hypothalamic region of the brain stem);
  • lung diseases (emphysema, bronchial asthma);
  • violations in cardiovascular system caused by developmental defects, the consequences of hypertension, a tendency to hypotension;
  • renal pathology (chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, especially in the stage of renal failure;
  • anemia (anemia) associated with deficiency of iron and vitamins;
  • conditions accompanied by increased blood clotting contribute to increased thrombus formation in the vessels of the placenta;
  • acute and exacerbation of chronic infectious processes cause corresponding inflammation in the placenta, vascular edema and reduction in blood flow; in the first trimester this can result in miscarriage.

Pathology of the uterus creates local conditions for inadequate blood flow:

  • any changes in the layers of the uterus (myometrium, endometrium);
  • malformations (for example, “bicornuate”, “saddle-shaped” uterus);
  • underdevelopment (hypoplasia);
  • tumor formations from muscle tissue (fibroids), especially in a primiparous woman over the age of 35; at a younger age, small fibroids help compensate for blood flow.

The causes of insufficient blood flow include unfavorable conditions during pregnancy in the following cases:

  • multiple births;
  • Rhesus conflict;
  • preeclampsia;
  • breech presentation of the fetus;
  • pathological placenta previa.

The risk of impaired blood flow occurs when:

  • previous abortions;
  • maternal smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction;
  • constant nervous environment associated with social or everyday unsettlement;
  • violation proper nutrition women.

Types of chronic placental insufficiency

Depending on the development of consequences for the fetus and the ability of the mother’s body to adapt, 4 forms or stages of chronic placental insufficiency are distinguished:

  • compensation - the mother’s body fully protects the fetus by improving blood flow through other pathways, and the child does not feel a lack of oxygen, develops normally, is born on time and develops well;
  • subcompensation - the mother is not able to fully compensate for the lack of nutrition, and the fetus lags behind in development, there is a risk of complications and congenital defects;
  • decompensation - accompanied by a complete disruption of the adaptation mechanisms, normal pregnancy is impossible, the fetus develops serious defects that are incompatible with viability, and death in utero is very likely;
  • critical - due to severe changes in the structure of the placenta, further gestation of the fetus is impossible, inevitable death occurs, any treatment is ineffective.

What degrees of blood flow disturbance does placental insufficiency cause?

A comparison of clinical manifestations and ultrasound examination results made it possible to distinguish 3 degrees of blood flow disturbance between mother and fetus.

The first is characterized by minimal changes at the uteroplacental level, provides a “reserve” of time of about a month for treatment and full recovery without consequences, there are 2 types:

  • Ia - only the uteroplacental blood flow is reduced, with the fetal-placental blood flow unchanged. It manifests itself as a delay in fetal development in 90% of cases.
  • Ib - fetal-placental circulation suffers, but the uteroplacental circulation remains normal. Delayed formation and development of the fetus suffers somewhat less (in 80% of cases).


The conclusion is issued after examining all components of the fetal blood flow

The second is that the disorder occurs both at the level of the uterine and umbilical vessels; hypoxia can be fatal to the fetus.

Third - blood circulation indicators are at a critical level, it is even possible that the direction of blood flow is reversed (reverse).

For clinicians, such a classification provides an opportunity to accurately determine the level of disorders and choose the most appropriate treatment tactics.

Symptoms of impaired blood flow

If the impaired blood flow is compensated, then the woman does not feel any abnormalities, but learns about them only after the examination.

Pronounced manifestations occur in acute form and chronic decompensation:

  • the motor activity of the fetus increases sharply or completely disappears (at 28 weeks, normal development is accompanied by ten movements per day), this symptom requires immediate contact with an obstetrician-gynecologist;
  • a slow increase in abdominal circumference, detected during monthly examination and measurement in the antenatal clinic (associated with excessive formation or lack of amniotic fluid);
  • late toxicosis;
  • high blood pressure;
  • large weight gain;
  • swelling in the legs;
  • the appearance of protein in the urine.

The most dangerous thing is bleeding from the vagina. This sign can be regarded as beginning placental abruption. You must not delay in providing medical care.

Diagnostics

The most complete picture of blood circulation between the uterus and the fetus is obtained through Doppler ultrasound, which is performed on all women three times during pregnancy.

The technique allows:

  • measure blood flow by the speed of movement of the formed elements;
  • determine its direction in arteries and veins;
  • record changes before clinical manifestations.


The effect is based on the properties of ultrasonic wave reflection and is completely safe for the child and mother.

All changes are recorded on the monitor, measured with special sensors, and can be photographed in the required format.

By comparison with normal indicators, a conclusion is made about the degree of pathology. Violations can be detected at any level, in the vessels:

  • umbilical cord,
  • uterus,
  • fetus

The doctor has time to prescribe treatment and check it at the next examination.

A type of Doppler ultrasound is Doppler ultrasound. It is prescribed for:

  • maternal concomitant pathology;
  • suspected premature aging and disruption of the placental barrier;
  • signs of high or low water;
  • preliminary data on intrauterine growth retardation, the formation of congenital malformations of the fetus;
  • presence of genetic diseases in the family;
  • clinical symptoms of fetal hypoxia.

The examination can reveal:

  • thinning of the placenta;
  • increase in growth area;
  • intrauterine infection.


The method of long-term inpatient monitoring of the degree of fetal hypoxia allows you to see the results of using medications

Treatment of pathology

Treatment takes into account the pathogenesis of disorders. To achieve results it is necessary to influence all links:

  • For mild microcirculation disorders, Chofitol (with a mineral-herbal composition) is prescribed; in more cases expressed cases- Actovegin, Petoxifylin.
  • If a mother’s tendency to form blood clots and disrupt the aggregation properties of blood is detected, then drugs such as Curantil, Trental are indicated. They can improve blood flow through the vessels.
  • If low blood pressure is detected, Venofundin, Stabizol, ReoHES are used.
  • Vasodilators - No-spa, Eufillin in injections - eliminate spastic contraction of blood vessels.
  • It is recommended to reduce the tone of the uterus with the help of Magnesia, the drug Magne B6, this acts as an antihypoxic way to improve blood flow.
  • A group of vitamins with antioxidant action eliminates Negative consequences(vitamin E, ascorbic acid).

Medications are prescribed by a doctor. If necessary, the woman is offered hospitalization. This allows:

  • provide bed rest;
  • Constantly monitor the progress of pregnancy.

If there is an effect of conservative treatment, the woman independently carries to term and gives birth to a child. If there are no results, doctors may decide on early caesarean section. In the third stage, only surgical delivery is indicated.

What to do to prevent blood flow disorders?

Gynecologists urge women at risk to prepare themselves for pregnancy in advance and prevent unplanned conception.


Choice correct position body during sleep helps fetal blood flow

If you are already pregnant, it is recommended:

  • avoid emotional and physical overload;
  • eliminate bad habits;
  • organize nutritious meals for the pregnant woman;
  • monitor daily walks and stay in a ventilated room;
  • do special gymnastics for pregnant women, yoga exercises;
  • control body weight, carry out monthly weighing and measurement of abdominal circumference;
  • It is considered more beneficial to sleep on the left side; this position reduces pressure on the inferior vena cava, which runs to the right of the uterus, but in some cases, with stagnation in the kidneys, sleeping on the right side improves the outflow from these important organs.

Modern diagnostic methods and approaches to the management of pregnant women make it possible to prevent severe disorders. However, many possibilities depend on the woman herself and her desire to have a healthy heir.

Providing emergency care to children
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Indications: absence of breathing and heart contractions, heart rate less than 30 per minute.
Algorithm
1. place the patient on a hard surface (floor, table, etc.)
2.set the head strictly along the midline
3. clean and straighten the airways (clear the oropharynx with a finger wrapped in gauze or a handkerchief, throw back the head and straighten the airways, move the lower jaw forward (so that the lower teeth go beyond the upper teeth and fix the lower jaw with the middle finger or insert an air duct).
4. At the same time, begin artificial pulmonary ventilation (ALV) “mouth to mouth” or using an Ambu bag, closed heart massage and drug treatment (intravenous atropine 0.1% - 0.1 ml per year of life, adrenaline 0.1% - 0.1 ml per year of life, calcium chloride 10% - 1.0 ml per year of life).
Chest compression is carried out by squeezing the lower half of the sternum, the width of one finger, along a line drawn below the nipple. In infants it is performed with two fingers, in children with the heel of the palm. Compression frequency 100/min. For 1 breath, 5 compressions. The effectiveness of compressions is assessed by pulse. In infants, the pulse is palpated on the brachial or femoral artery, in children on the carotid or femoral artery. If the pulse is less than 60 per minute. Full CPR is recommended due to ineffective cardiac output.
The basic life support procedure must continue without interruption until signs of life have returned.
Method of performing mouth-to-mouth ventilation.
· Block the exit from the nose - rhythmically blow air into the mouth 30-40 times per minute and at the same time ensure that the chest expands rhythmically
· Insufflation should be carried out alternately with closed cardiac massage; you cannot simultaneously inflate air and press on the sternum.
Method of performing closed cardiac massage

A modern person cannot help but know who Whitney Houston is (biography below). After all, it's worldwide famous singer and a film actress, a legend, about whose life there were constantly a wide variety of rumors and speculations.
