Abruption placenta

Binu thapa
Definition
• Abruptio placenta is one form of ante partum
hemorrhage where the bleeding occurs due to
premature separation (after 28 weeks) of
normally situated placenta

• It is also called as accidental hemorrhage or


placental abraption.
Types
• Revealed (external) hemorrhage:
 The separation is along the placental margin.
and blood insinuates downward between the
membrane and decidua.
 Ultimately the blood comes out of the
cervical canal to be visible externally. it is
commonest type.
Concealed hemorrhage
 The placenta separation centrally and a large
amount of blood is collect behind the separated
placenta or collected between the Membranes
and decidua.
 The collected blood is prevented from coming
out of the cervix by the presenting part. It is
rare type.
Mixed hemorrhage

• In this type, some part of blood collects


inside(concealed) and a part expelled
(revealed).
• Usually one variety predominates over the
other. This is quite common.
Causes
• Hypertension during pregnancy
• Placenta abruptio in prevoius pregnancy
• Trauma due to attempted external cepahilc
version specially under anesthesia,
amniocentesis, accident
• Sudden uterine decompression
• Short cord
cont…
• Previous cesarean section
• Supine hypotension syndrome
passive engorgement of the uterine and
placental vessels resulting in rupture and
extravasations of the blood.
• Placental anomaly- cicumvallate placenta
• Folic acid deficiency
• Uterine factor
• Cocaine abuse
Clinical classification
• Depending upon the degree of placental
abruption and its clinical effects, the cases are
graded as follows:
• Grade 0
• clinical features may be absent. The diagnosis
is made after inspection of placenta following
delivery.
Cont…
• Grade 1- (40%)- (mild separation of placenta)
1. Vaginal bleeding is slight
2. Uterus irritable, tenderness may be
minimal or absent
3. Maternal BP and fibrinogen levels
unaffected
4. FHS good
Cont….
• Grade 2- (45%)(moderate separation)
1. Vaginal bleeding mild to moderate
2. Uterine tenderness is always present
3. Maternal pulse is increased, BP maintained
4. Fibrinogen level may be decreased
5. Shock is absent
6. Fetal distress or even fetal death may occur
Cont….
• Grade 3 – (15%)(severe separation)
1. Bleeding is moderate to severe or may be
concealed
2. Uterine tenderness is marked
3. Shock is pronounced
4. Fetal death is occurs.
5. Associated coagulation defect or anuria
may complicate
Clinical features
Sign / Revealed type Concealed type
Symptoms
Vaginal Usually slight, Absent, but present in
bleeding continuous dark red, mixed type
rarely severe bleeding
Abdominal No severe pain but Acute intense pain
pain discomfort abdomen. The pain
becomes continues
Presenting Edema, headache, This may be present
symptoms of vomiting rare
PIH
Shock Usually Absent present
Anaemia Related with the Always present
visible blood loss

Uterus feel Normal feel with Uterus is tense,


loacalized tender, hard with
tenderness rising fundal height
Fetal parts Can be palpable Fetal part not easily
easily palpable

FHS Usually present Fetal heart sound


not easily audible

Vulval inspection Slight to heavy Bleeding is absent


bleeding

Urine ouput normal Usually diminished


sonography Differentiate Assess
placenta previa retroplacental clot

investigation Hb % low, Hb % markedly low,


proteinuria absent protein usually
present
Diagnosis
• Symptoms and signs usually present
1. Bleeding after 28 weeks gestation (may be
retained in the uterus)
2. Intermittent or constant abdominal pain
• Symptoms and sign sometimes present
1. Shock
2. Tense/ tender uterus
3. Decreased/ absent fetal movements
4. Fetal distress or absent fetal movements

• Songraphy
1. Differentiate placenta previa
2. Assess retroplacental clot
Prevention
• Early recognition and effective therapy of
preeclampsia
• Avoid cigarette and cocaine
• Routine administration of folic acid in early
pregnancy
• Avoid trauma
• Avoid sudden decompression of the uterus
• Avoid supine hypotension syndrome keeping
patient in left lateral position.
Management
• Assessment
1. Amount of blood loss
2. Maturity of the fetus
3. Whether the patient is in labour or not
4. Presence of any complication
5. Type and grade of placental abruption
General management
• Hb, haematocrit, coagulation profile, ABO, Rh
sent
• Urine sent for protein
• R/L started with bore cannula and make
arrangement for blood transfusion
Cont….
• If mild abruption, vaginal bleeding is light and
fetus is not in distress, observe the patient in
hospital and close monitoring

• If woman’s blood group is Rh negative and


have placenta abruption gives RhoGam

• Give oxygen as needed.


Definitive management
• Immediate delivery
– If the patient is in labour-
If cervix is fully dilated, delivery by vacuum
extraction
If vaginal delivery is not possible,
immediate deliver by caesarean section.
– If FHR is abnormal –C/S
Nursing management
1. Continuous evaluation maternal and fetal
physiologic status-
• Vital signs every 1-2 hrs
• Observe blood loss, amount consistency and
colour
• Check for shock (pallor, sweatiness, cold clammy
skin)
• Monitor urine output
• Continue FHS monitoring
Cont….
2. Fluid replacement large bore with R/L.
3. Administer Oxygen
4. Assess fundal height for changes, if increase
in size would indicate bleeding.
5. Be alert for signs of DIC.
6. Blood transfusion as needed.
7. Assess the need for immediate delivery if
women is in active labour, if complicated
arrange for C/S.
Complications
• Maternal
 Hemorrhage
 Shock
 Renal failure
 Blood coagulation disorder, coagulopathy
 PPH
 Puerperal sepsis
Cont….
• Fetal
 Prematurity
 Anoxia
 Fetal death
