Prevention of breast engorgement among postpartum women in an obstetric and gynecological hospital: a best practice implementation project

Background Breast engorgement was considered to influence confidence and continuation of breastfeeding in the first week following birth, for new mothers. Strategies for prevention of breast engorgement for postpartum women were unclear, and not in line with best practice breast engorgement guidelines. Aims The aim of this project was to integrate the available evidence of breast engorgement prevention into practice and to improve the compliance of best practice in line with audit criteria. Methods This project adopted a pre- and post-implementation audit approach. It utilised the Joanna Briggs Institute Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System and Getting Research into Practice programs. The project utilised six audit criteria that are considered the best practice standards. The audit took place in a 20-bed postpartum unit that involved 12 full-time qualified nurses. Results The findings of pre- and post implementation audit showed that the compliance rates for all criteria have resulted in 100% in follow up cycle. Except for the criterion of unlimited breastfeeding (which only resulted in a 3% improvement), the compliance rates have increased 30%-60% when compared to the baseline cycle. Conclusion This audit project has made a significant improvement in establishing evidence-based practices for breast engorgement prevention among postpartum women in the gynaecologic and obstetric hospital in Shanghai. Further audit will be necessary to improve clinical outcomes and nursing quality.

Suppression of postpartum lactation and prevention of breast engorgement in nonnursing mothers

Prevention of puerperal breast engorgement with large doses of long-acting estrogen

1.1. It is now known that restriction of fluid or diuresis has no effect on the prevention of breast engorgement.2.2. It is felt that estrogens do not interfere with lactation in the true sense of the word, but are of some benefit in preventing breast engorgement.3.3. It has recently been demonstrated that estrogens used for that purpose do not affect the puerperal endometrium and are not responsible either directly or by withdrawal for any postpartum hemorrhage. This was confirmed by the experiment reported here.4.4. The literature indicates that of women who do not suckle their infants at all, 58 per cent will have no engorgement pain whether they receive estrogens or not. With a placebo of any kind this percentage is raised to about 75 per cent. This leaves only about 25 per cent of nonnursing mothers who might benefit from the administration of estrogens.5.5. The criteria for a valid experiment for the evaluation of a drug are delineated, and the results of such a double-blind experiment reported, with the use of a form of chlorotrianisene. Capsules of 100 mg. were given three times in the first 36 hours post partum, and an identical placebo given to other non-nursing mothers, and not till the final tabulations were completed was it learned which woman received which.6.6. Of the 49 women who received the placebo, 72 per cent had no engorgement pain. Of the 54 women who received chlorotrianisene, 89 per cent had no pain. These figures are of the same order and are statistically identical with results reported for other estrogens.7.7. With identical results the one advantage of the administration of only three capsules of 100 mg. of long-acting estrogen is that of convenience.
