Q

VTE in pregnancy prophylaxis

A

Start from:

  • 28 weeks if 3 risk factors
  • first trimester if there are four or more of these risk factors

All pregnant women should have a risk assessment for their risk of VTE at booking; performed again at birth

LMWH unless contraindicated, continued throughout the antenatal period & for six weeks postnatally (temporarily stopped if woman goes into labour)

Mechanical prophylaxis → intermittent pneumatic compression, anti-embolic compression stockings

Q

Placental abruption pathophysiology

A

Thought to occur following a rupture of maternal vessels within the basal layer of the endometrium

Blood accumulates & splits the placental attachment from the basal layer

Detached portion of the placenta is unable to function → rapid fetal compromise

Two types:

  • revealed - bleeding tracks down from the site of placental separation and drains through the cervix, results in vaginal bleeding
  • concealed - bleeding remains within the uterus & typically forms a clot retroplacentally; bleeding is not visible but can be severe enough to cause systemic shock
