BLEEDING Flashcards
signs of hypovolemic shock
10% lost or 2units of blood
when does fetal distress occurs
when 25% of blood volume is lost
caused of threatened spontaneous miscarriage
idiopathic, possibly chromosomal aberration or uterine abnormalities
assessment of imminent miscarriage
vaginal spotting, cramping, cervical dilation
fetus dies in utero but is not expelled, brownish vaginal discharge, cervix closed
missed miscarriage
sudden unilateral lower abdominal quadrant pain, minimal vaginal bleeding possible signs of hypovolemic shock
ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
abnormal proliferation of trophoblast cells
gestational trophoblastic disease (hydatidifrom mole)
cervix begins to dilate and pregnancy is lost at about 20 weeks
- painless bleeding leading to expulsion of fetus
Incompetent cervix
Low implantation of placenta possibly because of uterine abnormality
Placenta previa
Sharp abdominal pain followed by uterine tenderness, vaginal bleeding, signs of maternal hypovolemic shock
Premature separation of placenta
it has show (pink-stained vaginal discharge)
preterm labor

- uterine contractions
- cervical dilation
part of the conceptus is expelled but the membranes or placenta are retained in the uterus
Incomplete miscarriage
- when the fundal height is measured and no increased in size
- fetus dies in utero but is not expelled
Missed miscarriage
action of mifepristone
cause contractions and birth
reasons a woman have abortions
- threatens a woman’s life
- genetic disorders of the fetus
- unwanted pregnancy (elective)
medically induced termination
- mifepristone
- methotrexate
- misoprostol
which implantation occurred outside the uterine cavity
ectopic pregnancy
risk factors of ectopic pregnancy
- previous ectopic pregnancy tubal ligation
- previous tubal surgery
- intrauterine device
- multiple sexual partners
works by stopping the growth of fertilized egg before a rupture occurs
Methotrexate
at risk of gestational trophoblastic disease
- low protein intake
- woman older than 35 years of age
- woman of Asian heritage
- blood group A woman who marry blood group O men
