ABSTRACT
The Antenatal unit in
the outpatient Department of any hospital letters for medical advices and
treatments to payment mothers before delivery. Antenatal care is all about
material and fetal care, to see that the baby is developing without
malformation and giving mothers advice an what to eat, type of exercise needed
scanning and pathology rest. This project work tends to design and implement a
system (computerized) that offers information on Antenatal care as of when due
(Just-in-time) to effect discussion making in specially the case study which is
Parklane Specialist Hospital Enugu that will pursue and meet the aim of the
existing manual Antenatal information system but with high reliability, accuracy,
speed and less cost.

INTRODUCTION
An information system
provides information for decision makers in any organization, which are
required for the great functions of planning coordinating and controlling,
therefore it is necessary to discover an adequate means of making the
information available to everyone concerned, this is because for decision to be
made correctly and timely the information must be consistent, accurate and
reliable (just-in-time) to affect the operation for which it is being provided.
Thus, this project work design and implementation of a computerized information
system of Antenatal care is aimed of provided necessary information about all
operations. The antenatal unit which are very necessary for proper control and
coordination of the unit.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
The case study of the
project work is parklane general Hospital. The Antenatal unit is an aspect of
the outpatient department. The Antenatal unit is incharge of carrying for
material and fetal well being before childbirth. This section of the hospital
is facing hitches presently due to the manual method of information processing,
as most pregnant mother don’t enjoy good and timely services. Presently apart
from time leg, the case study meet it objectives any way, but not reliably and
timely.
1.2
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The major function
of the Antenatal unit is to cater for material and fetal well being until
childbirth, which is why the pregnant mother visits the unit. This is the
project work is on design implementation of an antenatal information system
that will help in timely and useful information processing with its case study
as the Park Lane Specialist Hospital, Enugu, Enugu State.
1.3
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
There are setbacks in
information dissemination and flow in park lane Specialist Hospital Antenatal
unit thus the research felt the need to embark on this study in other to
identify and provide solutions to those setback as the objectives of the work
include.
- The
work will create on awareness of the ideal contents of Antenatal care which
include:- Preconception counseling, Assessment of risk factors, Assessment of
fetal well being etc.
- The
work will be able to provide information on educating especially first time
pregnant mothers about normal discomforts of pregnancy, Emotional aspects
(including post-nata depression so that these mothers are being reassured and
fears driver away.
- The
study will be able to incorporate a software that can keep track of information
about Antenatal patients and their History (medical examinations)
- The
study will be able to clear the doubts of the relevance of Antenatal care.
- And
lastly the work is centered on educating mothers, providing information to
health care agents and the antenatal unit for proper information flow.
1.4
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
this work only covers the provision of
information related to the Antenatal unit of the outpatient department of the
hospital.
1.5
AIMS AND OBJECITVES
The aims and objectives
of the system are to
(1. Enhance information
availability to doctors about patients and to Antenatal patients about
antenatal care.
(2. To enhance access to
information about Antenatal patients i.e quick information retrieval and
adequate storage.
(3. Automate Antenatal
mother registration in the Hospital
(4. Provide an accurate,
Reliable and desire information for the management, patients of parklane
specialist hospital and also provide a best way of information processing
retrieval and storage for future reference.
1.6
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This works perfection was limited greatly by some constraints which includes
1. TIME CONTRIANTS: this semester was short and the duration for the
complete of the project was also short and marred proper research of
information based on this topic
2. COST
CONSTRIANTS:- caring
to the fact that the case study was located very far from the school the
researcher is based, transportation cost was much.
3. INFORMAITON GATHERING:- was a problem as some staff and doctors were
not interested in providing information to me which they considered their
little secrets.
4. LACK OF RESEARCH
MATERIAL:- the researcher find it
difficult to get related books in the library which were lacking as at the
time.
These are the limitation to the work that
hindered a perfect result but the research result was really interestingly
impressing and will serve as a very good reference for future research of this
life.
1.8
DEFINITION OF TERM RELATED TO THE TOPIC
AMNIOCENTESIS:- This test is usually done around the 16th week
of pregnancy. A needle is passed through the mother’s abdomen into the uterus,
under ultrasound guidance and a sample an amnesic fluid surrounding the baby is
withdrawn. The fluid contains substances from the baby, which can be tested for
certain conditions such as neural tube defects and cells which can be grown in
culture. The cells can be tested for down’s syndrome and other diromosal and
inherited disorders.
AMNIOTIC FLUID:- This is the fluid surrounding the fetus in the
uterus which protects it during pregnancy and labour. It contains substances
and cells from the baby, which can be removed by amniocentesis and examined.
ANOMALY:- A malformation or abnormality in any part of the baby;
CHORIONIC VILLUS TEST:- this test usually known as CVS (CV sampling)
or CV Biopsy is a prenatal test which can be preformed early in pregnancy from
11 weeks. A sample of tissue that will form the placenta is taken either
through the cervix or the abdomen.
CHROMOSOMES:- The thread like bodies found in all living
cells which carry the genetic information. Normal human cell contain 23 pair of
chromosomes.
CHROMOSOME ABNORMALITY:- A change in the number or arrangement of the
normal 23 pairs of chromosomes.
COMBINED TEST:- between 11 and 13 weeks of pregnancy, a
combination of the nuchal sean measurement and a blood sample from the
mother which measures the concentration of two serums; pregnancy associated
plasma protein-A and frex Beta human chorionic gonadotrophin together
with the mother age are used to estimate her chances of having a pregnancy with
downs syndrome.
CONGENITAL ABNORMALITY:- An abnormality presently at birth although not
necessarily hereditary.
D & C (DILETATION AND CURRELTAGE):- A procedure in which the cervix is gently
opened and a loop shaped instrument is inserted to scrap away the miner living
of the uterus D&C (Dilatation and Evacuation) pregnancies can
sometimes be terminated under general anesthetic using this technique on which
the cervix is dilated and the uterine contents are removed by suction.
DOWN’S SYNDROME:- A chromosome abnormality in which these are 3
copies of chromosomes 21 instead of 2. It is also called trisomy 21. The
condition is characterized by distinctive facial feature and varying degrees of
learning difficulties and is often associated with laying heart problems.
EDWARDS SYNDROME:- A chromosome abnormality in which there are 3
copies of chromosome 18 instead of 2. it is also called trisomy 18 the condition
means that the baby may not survive pregnancy or may have a short life and
require specialized nursing.
ERPC:- evacuation of the retained products of
conception this is done following a spontaneous or induced abortion. The
placenta may be retained following a late termination and needs to be removed
surgically the phrase is felt to be rather callously.
FALSE NEGATIVE:- some women are told that tests have shown that
their babies does not have a problem, only to find out when the baby is born
that there is not true this is call a false Negative and is not a common
accurance.
FALSE POSITIVE:- This is the opposite of false negative.
GENE:- this unit of a chromosome is which particular characteristics
are inherited from one or both parents.
GENETIC ABNORMALITY:- A disorder arising from an abnormality in the
chromosome which mayor may not be hereditary.
GENETIC COUNCELLING:- Advice and information provided by experts
on the detection and chance of fetal abnormalities and disorders.
HEREDITARY:- characteristics transmitted through families,
by genes within the chromosomes of the fertilized egg and sperm.
HEYDROCEPHALUS:- this is due to an imbalance n the
production and adsorption of cerebrospinal fluid(ISF) this causes the
ventricles in the brain to swell, causing pressure on the surrounding tissue.
INHERITED:- having a hereditary characteristic, this can be
color a personality type or a disease.
INTEGRATED TESTS:- This integrated test is performed in two
stages in the first stage, of around 12 weeks of pregnancy and the second
around 15 or 16 weeks.
NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS
(NTD):- An abnormality
where the spine has not close over the central nervous tissue. Of this ‘Lesson’
is of the head, the condition is called Anencephaly and is incompatible with
life. If it occurs anywhere lower down the spine it is called spine bifid and
results in varying degrees of physical and mental disabilities, ultrasound
scanning is the way in which these abnormalities are conformed.
NUCHAL SCAN:- between11-13 weeks of pregnancy, the fluid
at the bad of the babies neck, the nuchal translucency from the scan.
PATAU’S SYNDROME:- A chromosome abnormality in which there are 3
copies of chromosome 13 resisted of 2 it is also called trisomy 13. Babies with
a full trisomy 13 may not survive pregnancy.
SCANS:- also ultrasound scanning to confirm
abnormalities of the fetus.
SYNDROME:- combination of symptoms sign groups together to
form a disorder.
TRIPPLE TEST:- this test has many names, it may be called the
lead; text, the Bart’s test or the Blood test a sample of blood is taken
usually between 16 –18 weeks of pregnancy. The stage of pregnancy is best
estimated by an ultrasound-dating scan.
Trisomy:- were there are 3 chromosomes rather than the
usual pair, this is called a trisomy.
ULTRASOUND
SCANNING:- this is a
technique used routinely in most hospitals is monitor the growth and
development of the baby before 16 weeks use useful for dating the pregnancy
land are able to detect some major malformations) detailed scanning of 18 – 21
weeks should show up any major deformation as well as some minor ones.
