A

placenta accrete

42

A

placenta PErcreta

44
Q

what could cause a massive bleed after delivery that is life threatening to the mother

A

Placenta acreta/increta/percreta

because placenta is abnormally attached it doesn’t separate after delivery

completed when non-stress testing is non-reassuring

A

oxytocin stress testing

IV oxytocin to induce contractions> assess FHT w/ contraction> FHT should show VARIABILITY w/out decels w/ contractions

68

biophysical profile

A
  1. amniotic fluid volume
  2. fetal tone
  3. fetal activity
