· RFs:
· Prior placenta previa
· Prior CS
· Multiple gestation
· Clx: Painless vaginal bleeding weeks gestation
· Dx: Transabdominal followed by transvaginal sonogram
· Tx:
· No intercourse
· No digital cervical examination
· Inpatient admission for bleeding episodes
· F/U w/ pt, as previa could resolve
· If not resolved -> CS at 36-37 weeks
Bed rest + nothing in vagina
(if husband is horny he can masturbate)
If preterm: tx as preterm
CS, if:
· Fetal distress
· Cx >4cm
· Unstoppable bleeding
|
|
Abruption
|
RFs:
· Maternal hypertension or preeclampsia/eclampsia
· Abdominal trauma
· Prior placental abruption
· Cocaine & tobacco use
Clx
· Sudden-onset vaginal bleeding (80%)
· Abdominal or back pain
· High-frequency, low-intensity contractions
· Hypertonic, tender uterus
Dx
· Clx Dx
· US (not required for dx) to rule out placenta previa; may show retroplacental hematoma
CS if:
· Uncontrollable maternal hemorrhage
· Rapidly expanding concealed hemorrhage
· Fetal distress
· Rapid placental separation
NVD are indicated if:
· Placental separation is limited
· Fetal heart tracing is assuring
· Separation is extensive and fetus is dead

Accreta
|
If placenta cannot detach from the uterine wall after delivery → catastrophic hemorrhage and shock.
Patients require hysterectomy.
