Q

If the placenta is attached to the superficial lining of the myometrium?

A

Placenta Accreta

18
Q

If the placenta is invading the myometrium?

A

Placenta Increta

19
Q

If the placenta has invaded through the myometrium to the uterine serosa?

A

Placenta Percreta

20
Q

What is the most common cause of 3rd trimester bleeding?

A

Placental Abruption

21
Q

What is Placental Abruption?

A

Premature separation of the normally implanted placenta

22
Q

What are the signs of Placental Abruption?

A

PAINFUL bleeding, uterine tenderness/hyperactivity and fetal distress

23
Q

A pregnant woman presents with painful bleeding, uterine tenderness and fetal distress, what is considered likely?

A

Placental Abruption

24
Q

What are the 2 most common risk factors for Placental Abruption?

A

Maternal HTN

External trauma to the mother

25
If Placental Abruption is present, what often ensues?
Rapid delivery - either vaginally or C-section depending on patient stability
26
What are 2 adverse effects that can occur with Placental Abruption?
DIC | Couvelaire Uterus
27
DIC often occurs with Placental Abruption. What is Couvelaire Uterus?
Red/purple uterine serosa from the extravasation of blood into uterus
28
What is Uterine Rupture?
Complete separation of the uterine musculature through all of its layers
29
What is a common risk factor for Uterine Rupture?
Prior uterine incision
30
What are the signs of Uterine Rupture for the mother and baby?
- Sudden, intense abdominal pain +/- bleeding - Abnormal FHR or cessation - Regression of presenting part
31
If the pregnant mother has sudden, intense abdominal pain and then there is abnormal FHR or cessation of it with the regression of the fetal presenting part, what should you consider as likely?
Uterine Rupture
32
With Uterine Rupture, what may be felt on abdominal exam?
Fetal parts | = complete separation of uterine musculature through all the layers
33
What is the treatment for a Uterine Rupture?
Immediate laparotomy and delivery of fetus
34
In women who had Uterine Ruptures, how will their future pregnancies need to be delivered?
C-section
35
What is Vasa Previa?
Rupture of a fetal vessel
36
Describe how Vasa Previa usually arises
- Umbilical cord inserts far away from placenta - It's vessels must traverse without protective wharton's jelly - Unprotected vessels pass over cervical os = rupture
37
Describe how Vasa Previa usually arises?
- Umbilical cord inserts far away from the placenta - It's vessels must traverse without protective wharton's jelly - Unprotected vessels usually pass over cervical os = rupture
38
What will be the signs of Vasa Previa?
Bleeding and FHR changes
39
If DIC occurs, what occured?
Placental Abruption
40
Painless vaginal bleeding = | Painful vaginal bleeding =
``` Painless = Placenta Previa Painful = Placental Abruption ```
