APH, PPH and Maternal Collapse Flashcards
The percentage of Consumptive coagulopathy in abruptio placenta ?
occurs in 1/3
is life threatening condition in abruptio placenta when blood invades myometrium all the way towards the peritoneal cavity.
- Couvelaire uterus (AKA: uteroplacental apoplexy)
Incidence of AP
1:200
(0-5-1 %)
Incidence of fetal death in AP:
1:1500
The least ethnic group to develop AP
Latin American
DDX of AP:
- PP
-Vasa previa –painless vaginal bleeding with rapid fetal compromise and in utero demise.
-Cervical laceration – More likely in the setting of preterm labor with a cerclage in place.
-Preterm labor – Will have cervical dilation present.
-PPROM – Will have positive pooling of amniotic (bloody or nonbloody) fluid in the vagina on speculum exam, positive ferning test, and decreased amniotic fluid levels on ultrasound.
Specific blood test in AP:
1) endothelial cell marker “Thrombomodullin”
2) high alfa feto-protein (risk of AP with high a-FP is 10x) < also associated with risk of acreta
3) high Beta-hcg
Placenta accreta adherent firmly to the uterine wall due to the absence of…. and ——— layer
Decidua basalis & fibrinoid layer i.e. Nitabuch layer (layer of fibrin between the boundary zone of compact endometrium and the cytotrophoblastic shell in the placenta)
Features suggestive of placenta Accreta are:
- visualisation of irregular vascular sinuses with turbulent flow I.e. large placental lakes
- myometrial thickness less than 1 mm
- absence of subplacental sonolucent zone (which represents the normal decidua basalis)
Surgical sutures done in case of PPH:
- B lynch suture
- block suture (multiple square)
- hayman suture
- cho square
- Gunshella suture
Fluid resuscitation after PPH:
- Colloids and crystalloids
- blood
- FFP > to correct clotting factor deficiency, or if 4U of blood given, or if PT> 1.5
- cryoprecipitate
- platelets (if PLT< 50,000 or if 4 U of blood transfused)
Uterine inversion management:
Manual removal by …..
- Johnsons maneuver
- hydrostatic O Sullivan method
What is the Triple P procedure for placenta percreta ?
Developed as a conservative instead of peripartum hysterectomy composed of:
1. Perioperative placental localisation & delivery of fetus by Transverse uterine incision above the upper border of placenta
2. Pelvic devascularization
3. Placental non-separation is dealt with myometrial excision and reconstruction of uterine wall.
AP increased in severe preeclampsia up to …. folds
Three
Risk factors of PP
1) maternal age >35
2) multifetal pregnancy or multipara
3) smoking
4) male fetus
5) prev PP hx
6) prev uterine surgery
7) IVF pregnancy
8) black race
9) relation with congenital anomaly ? 2x increased
Double set procedure:
Done when unsure of low lying placenta /placenta previa no clear cut < or = 2cm
Abnormal placental implantation:
1) accreta (attach)
2) increta (invades)
3) percreta (penetrate)
When the tocolytic given in PP:
Only if bleeding subsided and you want an interval of time to give dexa in prematurity
Maternal complication of APH
- bleeding and DIC
- Sheehan syndrome
- AkI > ATN > ACN
- sepsis and anemia
Paravaginal haematomas typically present with
rectal pain, lower abdominal pain (which is often vague) and symptoms of hypovolaemia.
The typical symptoms of vulval and vulvovaginal haematomas are
pain and swelling in the perineum. These are usually easy to diagnose if the woman is examined but can be confused with abscesses. Failure to carry out an examination can lead to pain being incorrectly attributed to the expected pain of an episiotomy, a tear or haemorrhoids.
supravaginal haematoma can present with
abdominal pain but often first presents with signs of hypovolaemia, including cardiovascular collapse. On abdominal examination the uterus is deviated upward and laterally, to the opposite side from the broad ligament haematoma
1st sign of uterine rupture is:
Fetal bradycardia (variable decelerations)
Signs of impending scar rupture:
• Fetal tachycardia
• scar tenderness

The most common sign of uterine rupture is a
non reassuring CTG with variable deceleration evolving into late decelerations, bradycardia and undetectable fetal heart rate pattern.
Factors associated with placenta praevia in the primigravidas
history of assisted conception
history of endometriosis
A vast majority of the primigravidas had either posterior type II or type III placenta praevia.
MROP antimicrobial prophylaxis:
Ampicillin or Cefazolin
surgical Interventions for uterine inversion:
*Huntington procedure a combined effort is made to reposition the uterus by simultaneously pushing upward from below and pulling upward from above. Application of atraumatic clamps to each round ligament and upward traction may be helpful or placing a deep traction suture in the inverted fundus or grasping it with tissue forceps may be of aid.
* Haultain incision: If a constriction ring still prohibits repositioning, a sagittal surgical cut is made
posteriorly through the muscular ring to release it.
is the most common cause of
transfusion-related mortality
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) The syndrome is characterized by severe dyspnea,
hypoxia, and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema that develop within 6 hours of
transfusion
Complications of embolization:
relatively uncommon but can be severe: iatrogenic iliac artery rupture, uterine ischemic necrosis,
and uterine infection.
Retained Placenta- risk factors? (4)
prior Cesarean delivery,
uterine leiomyomas
prior uterine curettage
succenturiate lobe of placenta

Discoloration of the flank may indicate retroperitoneal or intraperitoneal hge
