Hemorrhage
It is the rapid loss of more than 1% of body weight in blood.
Results in:¨ Inadequate tissue perfusion¨ Deprivation of glucose and oxygen
to the tissues¨ Build up of waste products

Antepartum hemorrhage
Bleeding that occurs anytime during pregnancy
Early – before 20 weeks AOG
e.g. abortionLate – bleeding after 20 weeks AOG
e.g. abruptio placentae, placenta previa
![Page 9: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Intrapartum hemorrhage
Bleeding that occurs during labor
e.g. uterine rupture
uterine inversion
abruptio placentae

Postpartum hemorrhage
Blood loss greater than 500ml in a vaginal delivery or 1000ml in a CS birth
Early – occurs during the first 24 hours after delivery
Late – occurs 24 hours after vaginal delivery
![Page 11: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Abortion
Most common bleeding disorder of early pregnancy
Termination of pregnancy before age of viability
A fetus who is less than 24 weeks gestation or weighing less than 600 gms is not viable

Early and Late Abortion
Early Abortion: termination of pregnancy before 12 weeks

Ectopic Pregnancy
It is the implantation of the zygote outside the uterine cavity or in an abnormal location inside the uterus.
Causes: narrowing of tubes, infection
Site: Fallopian tube, cervix, ovary and rare in the abdomen

Placenta Previa
It is a condition that may occur during pregnancy when the placenta implants in the lower part of the uterus and obstructs the cervical opening to the vagina (birth canal).
![Page 28: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Placenta Previa Asian and African ethnicity is high risk Associated with mothers who are
smoking and using cocaine Complications: Greater risk for post
partum hemorrhage, hypovolemic shock and preterm labor
Causes: Increased parity, maternal age, prior cesarean births, multiple gestation
28

29
s/sx:
Spotting during the first and second trimesters
Sudden, painless, and profuse vaginal bleeding in pregnancy during the third trimester (usually after 28 weeks)
Uterine cramping may occur with onset of bleeding
The uterus is usually soft and relaxed.
![Page 30: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Management:
Bleeding is an emergency Assess the amount of blood loss Bed rest with oxygenation as
prescribed Side lying or T-berg position No IE or rectal exams Keep IV line & have blood available

31
Abruptio Placenta
Premature separation of a normally implanted placenta after 20 weeks of gestation and before delivery of the fetus
Common among hypertensive, high parity, old age, alcoholic mothers
![Page 32: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Degree of Separation Grade Criteria
34
0 – No symptoms of separation. Slight separation occurs after birth.1 – Minimal separation, enough to cause bleeding and changes in v/s. No fetal distress2 – Moderate separation. There is evidence of fetal distress and uterus is painful on palpation3 – Extreme separation, maternal shock or fetal death will result

Uterine Atony
The failure of the uterus to contract maximally after the delivery of the baby and placenta, resulting in heavy uterine bleeding.
![Page 38: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Uterine Inversion
uterus literally turn inside out such that the top of the uterus (the fundus) comes through the cervix or even completely outside the vagina
![Page 41: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Treatment:
Initial treatment consists of bimanual compression, uterine massage.
Uterine contraction medications: Oxytocin, Methylergonovine, and Prostaglandins
Surgery: uterine vessel ligation or hysterectomy (the latter is rarely used)
Blood and fluids must be replaced as needed.

42
Retained placental Fragments
Late post partal hemorrhage Fragments may become necrosed & fibrin
may be deposited. A placental polyp can form, separate, and sudden bleeding can occur
Caused by abnormal placental implantation or careless delivery of placenta
S/Sx: vaginal bleeding, boggy fundus

43
Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy
Hypertension – BP reading in 2 occasions of at least 140/90 or a rise of 30mm/Hg systolic and 15mm/Hg diastolic
Gestational Hypertension – BP 140/90mmHg develops for the first time during pregnancy, but there is no proteinuria and within 12 weeks postpartum the BP is normal
Chronic HPN – presence of HPN before pregnancy or HPN that developed before 20 weeks AOG in the absence of H-mole that persists after 12th wk postpartum
![Page 44: High Risk Pregnancy Finale](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/55169939497959f97f8b488b/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
HPN that develops after the 20th week of gestation to a previously normotensive woman.
