A 29yrs old women G1p0+0 with a history of
amenorrhea for 3months and a positive home urine
pregnancy test.Presenting with PV bleeding or lower
abdominal pain for 2/7 and intends to continue the
pregnancy, though it was unplanned O/E; Pale,
afebrile. V/E; cervical os open, smeared with altered

condition
INTRODUCTION
MANUAL VACUUM ASPIRATION(MVA) is
an aseptic procedure that involves the
evacuation of uterine contents by the use
of a hand-held plastic aspirator.
Used in both developed and developing
countries, approximately one in four
women will experience a miscarriage in
the lifetime
METHODS OF TERMINATION OF
PREGNANCY
 First trimester(12weeks)
Medical;
 Mifepristone
 Mifepristone & Misoprostol
 Misoprostol alone
Surgical;
 MVA
 EVA
 D&C
ADVANTAGES OF MANUAL VACUUM ASPIRATION
Safe ,high-quality ,affordable
Easy to learn, easy to use
Small,portable,quiet no electricity required
Ideal for performing procedures in the
outpatient department
ADVANTAGES OF MANUAL VACUUM
ASPIRATION OVER OTHER TECNIQUES
•Less pain therefore less need for analgesia
•Reduced risk of complications-bleeding
•Less post abortal morbidity
•Less hospital stay
•Less time (about 10-15minutes)
THERAPEUTIC INDICATION
Treatment of incomplete abortion for GA up to
12weeks
First trimester abortion(menstrual regulation
when indicated
Missed abortion GA < 12weeks
GTD e.g. molar pregnancy
Septic abortion GA <12weeks
Inevitable abortion <12weeks
Blighted ovum of an embryonic gestation
DIAGNOSTIC INDICATION
Endometrial biopsy
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Retained product of conception secondary to
PPH
Confirmatory test for ovulation
Molar pregnancy
CONTRAINDICATION OF MVA
ABSOLUTE
•Pregnancy >12Weeks GA because, bony tissue
and other body tissue is formed which is difficult
to be evacuated
RELATIVE
•Purulent cervicitis and pelvic infection
•Coagulation disorders
EQUIPMENTS USED
MVA KIT;
• Karman syringes(MV aspirator
• Cannula
INSTRUMENTS;
• Vulsellum or tenaculum
• Sponge holding forceps
• Kidney dish
• Hergar’s dilators
• Uterine sound
• Cusco or sims speculum
DRUGS USED
• 1%Lidocain
• Diazepam
• Tramadol
• Normal saline
• Oxytocin
OTHERS
• Cotton swab
• Vaginal /perineal pads
• Sterile gloves
• Syringe 10mls
• Light source
PRECAUTIONS
Any serious medical conditions such as shock, haemorrhage, cervical
or pelvic infection, sepsis, as may occur with incomplete miscarriage
be addressed immediately
Uterine aspiration/uterine evacuation is often an important
component of definitive management in these cases and once the
patient is stabilized, the procedure should not be delayed
In case where the women has history of blood-clotting disorders the
aspirator and cannula should be used only with extreme caution and
only if facilities where full backup care is available
The procedure may be done with local anaesthesia or under
analgesia with sedation
PREPARATION OF CLIENT
• Explain procedure to patient and obtain a written or verbal
consent
• Priming the cervix with agents such as a prostaglandin by
inserted in to the vagina or taken sublingually around three
hours prior to procedure reduce the risk of cervical trauma
and haemorrhage
SIGNS THAT INDICATE THE UTERUS IS EMPTY
• Red or pink foam without tissue is seen passing through the
cannula
• A gritty sensation is felt as the cannula passes over the
surface of the evacuated uterus
• The uterus contracts around or grips the cannula
• The patient complains of cramping or pain, indicating that
the uterus is contracting
POST PROCEDURE
• Apply perineal pads and ensure that the woman is resting
comfortably
• Monitor vital sign and blood loss for at least 2hours
• Pain is moderate and relieved by analgesics
• Verify and update tetanus immunization if unsafe abortion suspected
and rhogam if RH-ve
• Run iv normal saline plus oxytocin 5-10IU to help contract uterus
• Document your finding for legal purpose
• Patient can go home if vitals are stable, she can walk and counselled
POST ABORTAL CARE COMPONENTS
• Treatments of any complication
• Counselling to identify and respond to woman emotional and physical
health needs
• Contraceptive and family planning services to help her prevent future
unwanted pregnancies or miscarriages
• Reproductive and other health services provided in the facility or
referral
• Community and service provider partnership by mobilizing resource
to ensure timely care
NORMAL RECOVERY
Warm-bath, compresses for cramping
Light menstrual like bleeding or spotting in few days
Next menses 4-8 weeks
Pregnancy is advised after 2-3 consecutives normal
menstrual cycle
Give antibiotics, haematenics and analgesics before
discharge home
Advice on hygiene no vaginal douches
COMPLICATION OF MVA
EARLY
 Primary haemorrhage
 Retained product
 Pelvic infection
 Uterine perforation
 Genital tract laceration
 Incomplete evacuation
 Air embolism
 Haematometra
 Vagal reaction
LATE
Ashermann’s syndrome
Sepsis
Chronic pelvic pain
Chronic PID
Ectopic pregnancy
Infertility
