Re: [ozmidwifery] Post placental hypotension with synto

No Tina,
Simply an IM injection.
I've checked out the info that goes with synto and 1 article was very 
clear that a side effect could be hypotension, elevated heartrate, 
nausea etc etc.
JUst didn't seem to be the right response for such a lightweight bleed - 
her Hb's and ferritins were good going into the birth ...
Always trying to 'work it out' ...

Hi all,
Just doing some research on the effect of syntocinon on a newly 
birthed mum.
I have recently witnessed a severe post placental hypotension after
synto was given with a fast (but not too severe) bleed - about 700ml in
total.
Drop from 100/70 to 70/40 within 5 mins ...
any thoughts??

She came up again within 45 mins, but I thought this was pretty severe...
Anyone have some recent research??
Many thanks, Sue

HI Suehow was the syntocinon administered...as an IV bolus??
Cheers Tina Pettigrew

Dear Sue
i realise this maybe off the subject
but all of these scenario's should not be considered in isolation of the 
women's state of balance or imbalance of basis molecules or electrolytes.
For example her Iron levels not only in her blood but in her stores.
Then there are elements like magnesium and Zinc.

I have recently discovered nutritional medicine and a high dose Magnesium 
supplement has so dramatically improved my 20 years of headaches and 
insomnia
I am working thru rectifying my Mg, Zn Re  imbalance!!
see www.nutritionreviewservice.com.au
