Question
Answer
Most common cause of postpartum hemorrhage   Uterine atony (unable to contract and control bleeding)  
🗑
extravasation of blood into the myometrium =   Couvelaire uterus  
🗑
Placenta previa sx   Spotting in 1st & 2nd trimesters. Sudden painless vaginal bleeding in 3rd. Soft, nontender uterus.  
🗑
Abruptio placenta RF   HTN; trauma; folate deficiency; smoking; cocaine; PPROM; chorioamnionitis; rapid decompression of the uterus; thrombophilia; older mom; multiple gestation.  
🗑
Causes of postpartum hemorrhage   uterine rupture/ inversion; birth trauma; retained placenta; uterine atony; DIC; von W dz  
🗑
Uterine inversion associated with:   uterine atony, fundal placenta, first baby; not necessarily with cord traction  
🗑
Uterine inversion sx   shock out of proportion to blood loss  
🗑
Uterine inversion tx   Replacement; relaxing agent; laparotomy?  
🗑
Uterine atony RF   Chorioamnionitis; over-distended uterus; long labor; oxytocin in labor; MgSO4; genl anesthesia; multiparity; previous postpartum hemorrhage  
🗑
Uterine atony tx   Oxytocin; PG F2 alpha (Hemabate); misoprostol; methergine; bimanual compression  
🗑
Types of placental abruption   Grade 1 (mild, slight bleeding). Grade 2 (moderate to partial). Grade 3 (large or complete): concealed (blood is retained between detached placenta & uterus)  
🗑
risks associated with PROM & PPROM   Infection (chorioamnionitis & endometritis); cord prolapse  
🗑
Placental tissue in the lower uterine segment over, or adjacent to, the cervical os =   Placenta previa (results in coverage of cervix, ahead of presenting fetal part)  
🗑
In placenta previa, bleeding results from:   separation of placenta from lower uterine segment and cervix  
🗑
Placenta previa risk factors   Prior uterine surgery, C-section, D&C, D&E. Older pt. Endometrial vascularity abnormality. Delayed ovulation. Multiparity. Smoking.  
🗑
Dx of placenta previa should be done by:   Ultrasound. NOT BY PELVIC EXAM  
🗑
Grade 3 placental abruption should be considered:   life threatening to mother and fetus  
🗑
Placental abruption pathology   Bleeding into decidua basalis -> separation -> decidua splits and placenta is sheared off -> extravasation into myometrium  
🗑
Bleeding >500 mL with vaginal delivery or >1000 mL with C-section   postpartum hemorrhage (early <24h post; late >24h post, up to 6-12 weeks post partum)  
🗑
