Uterine rupture
Uterine rupture refers to a laceration of the uterine body or lower uterine segment during delivery or pregnancy. It is a serious obstetric complication that threatens the lives of mothers and children. Deaths are mainly caused by hemorrhage and infectious shock. With the improvement of obstetric quality, the establishment and gradual improvement of urban and rural maternal and child health care networks, the incidence rate has dropped significantly. It is rarely seen in urban hospitals, but it occurs from time to time in remote rural areas. The vast majority of uterine ruptures occur after 28 weeks of pregnancy, most commonly during delivery. The current incidence rate is controlled below 1‰, the maternal mortality rate is 5%, and the infant mortality rate is as high as 50% to 75% or even higher.
