Description | Purpose: This study retrospectively assessed blood loss during cesarean deliveries for twin and singleton pregnancies using two distinct methods, quantitative estimation measured during cesarean sections and hematocrit-based calculated estimation.
Methods: We included scheduled cesarean deliveries for twin or singleton pregnancies at ≥ 34 weeks of gestation. Quantitative blood loss was recorded based on the blood volume in the graduated collector bottle and by weighing the blood-soaked textiles during cesarean sections. The blood loss was calculated using the change in hematocrit levels before and after the cesarean delivery. Results: We evaluated 403 cases including 44 twins and 359 singletons. Quantitative blood loss during cesarean section was significantly higher in twins pregnancies than that in singleton pregnancies (1117 [440] vs 698 [378] mL; p<0.001). However, no significant differences were observed in the calculated blood loss between the two groups on the day after delivery (487 mL [692 mL] vs 507 mL [522 mL]; p=0.861). On post-delivery days 4–5, twin pregnancies were associated with a significantly higher calculated blood loss than singleton pregnancies (725 [868] mL vs 444 [565] mL, p=0.041). Although a significant moderate correlation between quantitative and calculated blood loss was observed in singleton pregnancies (r=0.473, p<0.001), no significant correlation was observed between twin pregnancies (r=0.053, p=0.735). Conclusion: Quantitative blood loss measurements during cesarean section may be clinically insufficient in twin pregnancies. Incorporating blood tests and continuous assessments are warranted for enhanced blood loss evaluation, especially in twin pregnancies, owing to the risk of persistent bleeding. |
