QUESTION
Placenta Abruption
Answer:
Separation of the placenta from the uterine wall
Emergency measures include starting two large-bore IV lines with normal saline or lactated
Ringer's solution to combat hypovolemia, obtaining blood specimens for evaluating
hemodynamic status values and for typing and cross-matching, and frequently monitoring fetal
and maternal well-being
Classic manifestations of abruptio placentae include painful, dark-red vaginal bleeding (port-
wine color) because the bleeding comes from the clot that was formed behind the placenta;
"knife-like" abdominal pain; uterine tenderness; contractions; and decreased fetal movement.
Rapid assessment is essential to ensure prompt, effective interventions to prevent maternal
and fetal morbidity and mortality
Depending on severity the women can be monitored through a vaginal birth but if it is a risk they
will do c-section
