Question
Answer
What are the most common causes of maternal death?   -Hemorrhage -Embolism -Hypertensive disease -infections  
🗑
antepartum hemorrhage?   significant bleeding that occurs during the third trimester, or after 20/24 weeks gestation  
🗑
initial evaluation of bleeding patient includes?   -establish hemodynamic stability -2large bore IV/Central venous line -vitals/mental status -CBC/coag profile/4units crossmatch  
🗑
when should a pelvic exam be perfomed in a patient with antepartum hemorrhage?   after U/S has ruled out presence of placenta previa  
🗑
placenta previa?   an abnoramally implanted placenta  
🗑
two most common causes of antepartum hemorrhage?   -Placenta previa -placenta abruption  
🗑
classic presentation of placenta previa?   painless vaginal bleeding after mid-second trimester  
🗑
classic presentation of placenta abruption   painful contractions accompanying significant vaginal bleeding after mid-second trimester  
🗑
complete placenta previa   placenta completely covers the internal os of the uterine cervix  
🗑
partial placenta previa   placenta partially covers the internal os  
🗑
marginal placenta previa   placenta with edge extending to margin of internal os  
🗑
low-lying placenta   edge of the placenta is within 2cm of the internal cervical os  
🗑
incidence of placenta previa before 20 weeks gestation   4-6%  
🗑
90% placenta previa resolve by third trimester due to?   upward placental migration  
🗑
factors predisposing to placenta previa   1 multiparity 2 multiple gestation 3 increasing maternal age 4 prior placenta previa  
🗑
Management of placenta previa depends on?   GESTATIONAL AGE AMOUNT OF BLEEDING  
🗑
goal in management of placenta previa   obtain fetal lung maturity without compromising the health of the mother  
🗑
if the patient reaches 36 weeks?   assess lung maturity by amniocentesis deliver by C/S  
🗑
why should a patient with previa deliver vaginally?   lower uterine segment is poorly contractile>>increased postpartum bleeding  
🗑
what can exacerbate bleeding in previa/   PLACENTA ACCRETA  
🗑
placental accreta/increta/percerta   abnormal attachment to: 1- uterine wall (no nitabuch's layer 2- placenta penetrates into myomet 3- placenta penetrates through myome  
🗑
Abruptio placenta   premature separation of a normally implanted placenta  
🗑
risk factors for placental abruption   -maternal hypertension -prior abruption -trauma -polyhydraminos w/rapid compression -PPROM -short umbilicus -cocaine/cigarette  
🗑
pathophyhsiology of placental separation   hmg into decidua basalis >>hematoma>> compression/destruction of placental tissue  
🗑
concealed hemg   blood dissect upward toward the fundus more dangerous than revealed  
🗑
revealed hmg   blood extends downward toward the cervix  
🗑
couvelaire uterus   bleeding into myometrium of the uterus, discolored uterine surface.  
🗑
complication seen more often with placental abruption than previa   -coagulopathy. 2ndry to hypofibrinogenemia -fetal to maternal hmg -DIC  
🗑
how is placental abruption dx?   clinically, U/s detects only 2% may coexist with placenta previa, so do U/S even if suspecting abruption  
🗑
management of abruption?   maternal hemodynamics and fetal monitoring, serial hematocrit, coag profile, delivery.  
🗑
should tocolytics be used in abruption?   NO. uterine tone is needed to control bleeding  
🗑
complications of abruption   fetal: hypoxia>death maternal: DIC/Hypovol> acute renal faliure/sheehan syndrome  
🗑
uterine rupture?   complete separation of the uterine musculature through all of its layers  
🗑
incidence of uterine rupture?   .5 %  
🗑
causes of uterine rupture?   -spontaneous -traumatic -prior uterine scar before labor/during labor/@ delivery  
🗑
Dx of uterine rupture   sudden onset intense abdominal pain w/some vaginal bleeding abnormal fetal heart rate pattern/fetus more easily palpated  
🗑
management of rupture?   immediate laparotomy debridment and closure or hysterectomy.  
🗑
dx of fetal bleeding?   Apt test. vaginal blood put into tube add water and KOH>> color stays red??fetal blood.  
🗑
when does fetal bleeding occur   vasa previa? umblical cord vessels inserted into the membrane with the vessels overlying internal os.  
🗑
