Hypervolemia

Subject: Midwifery III (Theory)

Overview

Hypervolemia is a disease caused by a decrease in a baby's circulatory blood volume at delivery as a result of blood or blood or bodily fluid loss. The precise reason is unknown, however, an anemic mother, a malnourished mother, an injury during pregnancy, and mother shock are all possibilities. At birth, the newborn appears colorless and white, with no muscular tone, a faint cry, tachycardia, tachypnea, a feeble pulse, rib retraction, and gasping breathing. Give 02 inhalations to a mother in the first and second stages of labor if the fetus appears to be asphyxiating. After 10 minutes of birth, the cord should be cut, and the infant should be placed below the mother's tummy. Make arrangements for blood cross-matching and, if necessary, administer a blood transfusion.
