Background

Diagnosis (Abruption)

Symptoms

  1. Vag bleed
  2. Cramps/contractions
  3. Uterine tenderness
  4. Hypovolemia
  5. Abnl fetal HR

US only 50% acurate

Treatment & Disposition

  1. Nonviable fetus (<23-24wks)
    1. Standard treatment for trauma
    2. Consider RhoGAM 50mcg in rh neg
  2. Viable fetus (>23-24wks)
    1. Consider RhoGAM 300mcg in rh neg
    2. Avoid pressors
    3. Monitor (fetal) all for 4-6hrs -->
    4. Extend Monitoring to 24hrs, if risk factor or abnormal 6hr monitoring


Risk Factors (ATLS)

  1. Maternal heart rate > 100
  2. Injury Severity Score > 9
  3. Evidence of placental abruption
  4. Fetal heart rate > 160 or <120
  5. Ejection during a motor vehicle crash
  6. Motorcycle or pedestrian collisions

Abnormal Monitoring

  1. >3 contractions/hr
  2. Persistant uterine TTP
  3. Worisome strip
  4. Vag bleed
  5. PROM
  6. Serious maternal injury

Partial abrution w/ stable mom/fetus and <32wk may have expectant care (with easy access to emergent C-section)

Abrupion = risk DIC
