Q

Def of Placenta Previa

A

Placenta is partially or totally implanted in LUS after fetal viability (≥ 20 weeks).

Before 20 weeks, it is termed low lying placenta.

Q

Pathophysiology of Placenta Previa

  • During 3rd trimester, LUS progressively enlarges but inelastic placenta can’t stretch to accommodate this enlargement → shearing action () placenta & LUS → inevitable separation of part of placenta → unavoidable bleeding.

Q

Pathophysiology of Placenta Previa

  • No mechanism to stop bleeding because:
A
  1. LUS is non retractile.
  2. Muscle fibers of LUS are atonic è absence of decussating muscle layer.
