There are two forms of this: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153complete,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in which all the pregnancy tissue is passed and no intervention is required, and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153incomplete,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in which only part of the pregnancy tissue is passed and usually requires intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Surgical Abortion<\/strong> is the removal of the fetus and placenta from a woman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s uterus. The doctor usually uses a vacuum to removes the pregnancy material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Medical Abortion<\/strong> uses prescribed medicines. Such medicines enable a woman to pass the fetus and related tissue. The consequences are something is a miscarriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Self-induced abortion<\/strong> is performed by\nthe mother. This term includes abortions carried out with legitimate,\nover-the-counter medication and carried outperformed using unregulated, often\ndangerous methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Symptoms_of_abortion_with_septic_shock\"><\/span><strong>Symptoms of abortion\nwith septic shock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Septic shock is a medical emergency. If you have had an abortion recently and find any of the following symptoms, seek urgent medical help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Extreme high or low body temperature<\/li><li> Extreme bleeding<\/li><li> Extreme pain<\/li><li> Feelings of confusion, restlessness, or fatigue<\/li><li> Shaking Chills<\/li><li> Low blood pressure, mainly when standing<\/li><li> Inability to urinate<\/li><li> Palpitations in heart<\/li><li> Rising heart rate<\/li><li> Painful fast breathing with short breath<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_of_abortion_with_septic_shock\"><\/span><strong>Causes of abortion with\nseptic shock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Septic shock often occurs after an abortion. It strikes when\nyour body gets a bacterial infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, the infection stays in a given area. The infection, however, reaches the bloodstream in extreme situations and spread across the body. This is called a systemic response. The resulting condition is known as sepsis. Also, sepsis causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Fast Heart Rate<\/li><li> Rapid Breathing Rate <\/li><li> Extremely High or Low White Blood Cell Count <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When sepsis weakens the immune system in your body, your\norgans start to fail. If sepsis worsens the condition is called septic shock\nthat the blood pressure drops dangerously low and is immune to treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Two principal factors\ncan contribute to the onset of sepsis and septic shock in abortion. They are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Incomplete\nabortion: pieces of pregnancy tissue remain in the body after a spontaneous or\ninduced abortion, both medical and surgical<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Uterine bacterial\ninfection during a surgical or self-induced abortion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risk_factors_for_abortion_with_septic_shock\"><\/span><strong>Risk factors for\nabortion with septic shock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The chance for septic shock increases when bacteria are more\nlikely to enter your bloodstream. Having any surgery or medical procedure puts\nyou at an increased risk for septic shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A medical device can carry bacteria when it is inserted into\nyour body. That increases the risk of infection and sepsis. The longer the\ndevice is in your body, the greater the chance of infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a surgical abortion, the doctor uses a hollow tube vacuum\nto expel the fetus and placenta from the womb. Medical devices, such as\ncatheters, drainage tubes, or breathing tubes will place put you at a similar\nrisk of being infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The risk for septic shock is significantly increased in\nself-induced abortion when medical instruments are not used. There is less\npotential to avoid the spread of germs since many of the devices used are\nhousehold things of daily use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complications_of_abortion_with_septic_shock\"><\/span><strong>Complications of\nabortion with septic shock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Septic shock can be fatal unless properly treated. This can\ndestroy any part of your body and cause organ failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typical complications include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Body tissues die due to loss of blood<\/li><li> Respiratory failure<\/li><li> Liver failure<\/li><li> Kidney failure<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Treatment_and_Recovery\"><\/span><strong>Treatment and Recovery<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Septic shock is a medical emergency which required urgent\ncare\/treatment. Treatment also starts because of the urgency before test report\nconfirms the diagnosis. When you have septic shock signs following an abortion,\nyou need to be taken to an intensive care unit immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment for septic shock focuses on protecting vital organs\nand removing the source of infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antibiotics are given first. Test results will take several days to determine the exact bacteria that cause sepsis. Two or three antibiotics can be combined to increase the chances of destroying the bacteria. A typical treatment with antibiotic involves a combination of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>  Ampicillin<\/li><li> Gentamicin<\/li><li> Metronidazole<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment can be refined once the bacteria are identified.\nYour chances of surviving septic shock increase when you receive antibiotics\nsoon after the abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your treatment may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Mechanical ventilation (breathing machine)<\/li><li> Medication (to increase blood pressure)<\/li><li> Intravenous (to increase fluid in the bloodstream and blood pressure)<\/li><li> Oxygen<\/li><li> Hemodynamic monitoring (evaluation of heart and lung pressure levels)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In certain cases, it needs surgery. You doctor can suggest a\nfull hysterectomy if the infection is caused by matter from an abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor may do a laparotomy in some cases. A laparotomy is an incision in the abdominal wall that allows for quick access to the abdominal cavity. It may be needed if your physician suspects the infection is caused by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Uterine Perforation<\/li><li> Bowel Injury<\/li><li> Abscess<\/li><li> Soft Tissue Infection<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_prevent_septic_shock\"><\/span><strong>How to prevent septic\nshock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most cases of septic shock are not preventable.
