The Effect of Abruptio Placentae on Perinatal Outcome of Pregnancy
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: Abruptio placentae is defined as the premature separation of the placenta from the uterus. A significant cause of third-trimester bleeding associated with fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality, placental abruption must be considered whenever bleeding is encountered in the second half of pregnancy. If the bleeding continues, fetal and maternal distress may develop. Fetal and maternal death may occur if appropriate interventions are not undertaken. The severity of fetal distress correlates with the degree of placental separation. In near-complete or complete abruption, fetal death is inevitable unless an immediate cesarian delivery is performed.
