21
Q

Classic sign of placental abruption that can be seen at the time of cesarean delivery

life threatening condition

A

Couvelaire uterus

bluish purple myometrium

22
Q

Abnormally implanted placenta

Placenta goes before the fetus into the birth canal

A

Placenta Previa

23
Q

Describe the apparent movement of the placenta AWAY from the INTERNAL OS

A

Placental migration

24
Q

Internal os is covered partially or completely by placenta

A

PLACENTA PREVIA

complete/totalis
partial/partialis
marginalis
low-lying

25
Q

Implantation in the lower uterine segment

placental edge does not cover the internal os but lies within a 2 cm wide perimeter around the os

A

Low Lying Placenta

26
Q

The most characteristic event with placenta previa

A

PAINLESS BLEEDING

27
Q

Predisposing factors for placenta previa

A
prior CS and uterine surgery
multiparity
multiple gestation
erythroblastosis
smoking
hx of placenta previa
increasing maternal age
28
Q

Fetal complications associated with Placenta previa

A
preterm delivery and its complications
preterm premature rupture of membranes
intrauterine growth restriction
malpresentation
vasa previa
congenital abnormalities
29
Q

Recommended delivery in placenta previa

A

b/w 34 and 37 weeks

30
Q

Abnormal placental adherence to the myometrium

A

partial or total absence of decidua basalis

imperfect devt of fibrinoid or Nitabuch layer

31
Q

Frequent and serious complication associated with placenta previa

A

morbidly adherent placentas

32
Q

Villi are attached to the myometrium

A

Placenta ACCRETA

Total placenta accreta

33
Q

Villi INVADE the myometrium

A

Placenta INCRETA

34
Q

Villi that PENETRATE through the myometrium and to or through the serosa

A

Placenta PERCRETA

35
Q

Confirmation of a percreta or increta almost always mandates

A

Hysterectomy

36
Q

2nd MC severe maternal morbidity indicator

A

Q

Massive Transfusion Protocol

A

Cryoprecipitate
Fresh frozen plasma
