Placenta abruption is defined as the premature separation of the normal-sited placenta from the uterus. Risk factors include: Uterine anomalies; Multiparity; Preeclampsia; Previous cesarean delivery; Renal or vascular disease; Trauma to the abdomen Analyzing 130 cases of abruptio placentae among 26,743 deliveries (1:206), the authors conclude that effective management depends primarily on early recognition of the high-risk patient, immediate hospitalization of all women with third trimester bleeding, prompt institution of liberal whole blood replacement, and early definitive diagnosis.

Scoping document with average scores 47 Annex 2. … The management of placental abruption will depend on gestation, the signs and symptoms, the mother’s cardiovascular status and any evidence of fetal compromise.
Abruptio placenta is premature separation of a normally implanted placenta after the 20th week of pregnancy, typically with severe hemorrhage. List of participants 54. WHO guidelines for the management of postpartum haemorrhage and retained placenta iv Acknowledgements This document was prepared by Dr A. The goals are to prevent hypovolaemia, anaemia, and DIC. Abruptio placentae (also known as placental abruption) is the premature separation of the placenta that occurs late in the pregnancy. For some unknown reasons, it suddenly begins to separate, causing bleeding. GRADE methodology 51 Annex 4. Ultrasound should not be used in the diagnosis of placental abruption but is useful to confirm fetal viability/death and exclude a placenta praevia. Abruptio placentae, or placental abruption, is when the placenta partially or completely detaches prematurely from the uterus, causing a risk for hemorrhage. When it occurs at or near term and maternal and fetal condition is reassuring, conservative management is reasonable. This is most often seen at 24-26 weeks gestation and is considered a serious complication. Blood and fluid replacement needs can be determined by estimated blood loss, and by vital signs (BP, pulse, and urine output). The cause of abruptio placenta is unknown. Placenta praevia found on sonography makes placental abruption unlikely. The placenta has implanted in the correct location. The prevalence of abruption in European countries is three to six per 1000 pregnancies and 70% of cases of placental abruption have been found to be in low-risk pregnancies. Placental abruption is a clinical diagnosis on examination of the placenta post delivery. C. Management of retained placenta 33 D.
