OBSTETRIC PRACTICE:
Missy Matthews
"Premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus before birth."
Abruptio Placentae
A G1PO at 38 weeks presents to the Emergency department with large amounts of bright red vaginal bleeding actively leaking following what she referred to as “a hit and run rear-end automobile accident.” She states no ambulance was called to the scene and she drove herself to the ER. She presents to the ER with a firm, board-like abdomen and complains of no relaxation and persisting pain to the uterus. She is restless and unable to relax her body. When transporting the patient from the Emergency department, the fetal heart rate baseline is reported by fetal monitor to be 50 beats per minute with late decelerations. Resting tone of the uterus is absent between contractions.
