A boggy uterus, an unexpectedly elevated fundus on palpation, and profuse lochia are all indicators of uterine atony. The nurse must report a PPH right away and get ready to administer intravenous fluids and oxygen while inserting a large-bore intravenous catheter if one isn't already there.

Continue massaging and giving uterotonics to a swampy uterus to promote uterine contraction. Give 20–40 units of oxytocin, an analog of the hormone with the same name found in the body, in 1 L of lactated Ringer (LR) at a rate of 600 mL/h to sustain uterine contraction and manage hemorrhage. (b) Firmly massage the fundus if it is squishy (do not over-massage, this fatigues the muscle). (c) Until the patient's vital signs are stable, check on them every 15 minutes. (d) Avoid bladder enlargement.

Levart [38]

Rebounded nasal congestion is an effect of excessive use of these products when administered correctly.

Rebound congestion is a persistent nasal obstruction (congestion) brought on by excessive use of nasal sprays, drops, or gels containing decongestant medications. Even in the absence of allergies or other cold-like symptoms, this kind of congestion can develop. There are no additional cold, flu, or allergy symptoms when you have rhinitis medicamentosa, just a runny or stuffy nose. Rebound congestion is another name for hay fever.

Rebound congestion is persistent and won't go away even after you stop using the spray. But rebound congestion isn't your standard nasal congestion. It's not brought on by an upper respiratory infection or allergies. Instead, taking nasal decongestant sprays for longer than three straight days makes the congestion worse.
