Most often develops as a result of tubal pregnancy inflammation of internal genital organs , abortion , tubal underdevelopment , various endocrine disorders , and increased activity of the fertilized egg.
Interrupted pregnancy often from 2 to 10 weeks by type of tubal abortion or rupture the pipe.
With tubal abortion ovum gradually peeled away from the pipe wall , blood accumulates in the pipe partially , partly falls into the abdominal cavity with the dead fetal egg. Fallopian tube is broken . There is bleeding into the abdominal cavity , often life-threatening women .
Signs . For tubal abortion is characterized by: delayed menstruation followed scarce dark bloody discharge from the vagina , the appearance of short , often one-sided , cramping pain , often accompanied by dizziness or semiconscious state .

ASPHYXIA in children
ASPHYXIA in children - lack or irregular breathing of the child immediately after birth. Arises from the pathological course of pregnancy and childbirth. Asphyxia and birth trauma contributes to hemorrhage in the newborn's brain .
Signs . Healthy newborn pink , shout loudly , actively moving arms and legs . And children born asphyxiated , not breathing , limp, blue ones and even white when severe asphyxia .
Assistance .

Asphyxia
Asphyxia - sudden or rapid respiratory failure, up to a stop due to mechanical obstruction in the upper airways : spasm of the glottis , drowning, inflammation and edema of the larynx and trachea , hanging or other causes suffocation compression tracheal tumor, abscess , hematoma , its blockage foreign bodies , vomit or blood from the nasopharynx due to cranio - facial injuries , sunken language when unconscious ( as a result of poisoning, traumatic brain injury , acute circulatory disorders , development of tumors or inflammation of the brain, accompanied by edema and swelling of the brain) , as well as pulmonary inflammation or edema.
Asphyxia is often caused by dysfunction of the respiratory muscles ( intercostal , diaphragm) as a result of their long-term tonic convulsions during the general epileptic seizures and paralysis. Asphyxia and is a sharp decrease in the oxygen content in the inspired air ( carbon monoxide poisoning and other ) . Asphyxia occurs just after a serious chest injury and lungs as a result of pressing the weight falls , bleeding , damage to lung tissue , the impact of the blast wave , and others, as well as birth trauma in infants due to the inability unfolding lungs.
Symptoms : difficulty ( offense) or cessation of breathing ( chest movements and the anterior abdominal wall ), violation rate and rhythm of the respiratory movements , change in skin color (from blue to gray or pale ) , increased or slowing of heart rate , changes in blood pressure ( its first increase then down) . Depending on the cause signs of respiratory disorders appear gradually , while growing rapidly , or develop suddenly . Initially, breathing may be noisy and frequent , then becomes a rare convulsive and stops completely. Sick or injured with a puffy face , at first restless, excited, then loses consciousness . It always varies cardio - vascular activity.
Assistance . The type and amount of aid determined causes asphyxia and primarily aimed at their elimination. By any means necessary to restore patency of the upper airway : Remove the tongue , remove the foreign body , vomit , blood, mucus from the respiratory tract , turn patient ( better on "healthy" side) with his head down , to prevent repeated the tongue and leaking blood , vomit during his delivery to the hospital. Asphyxia as a result of epileptic seizures stopped after. During the attack references between your teeth is not any thing very tight to prevent closing of the jaws and tongue bite , and ensure the patency of the upper respiratory tract. All other patients and victims need CPR type " mouth to mouth " , periodic tightening of the chest to transfer the sick or injured to doctors. To all patients and survivors should be sufficient supply of fresh air . If ventilatory support , cardiac activity can last for several days.
