EP22.07: The fetal heart rate parameter in adherent placenta previa

Maternal Morbidity in Women with Placenta Previa Managed with Prediction of Morbidly Adherent Placenta by Ultrasonography

Objective. To determine maternal morbidity in women with placenta previa managed with prediction of morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) by ultrasonography. Methods. A retrospective cohort study was undertaken comprising forty-one women who had placenta previa with or without risk factors for MAP. Women who had all three findings (bladder line interruption, placental lacunae, and absence of the ret...

Placenta previa

OBJECTIVES To review cases of placenta previa in the last 13 years in a tertiary teaching hospital to identify risk factors for maternal morbidity.  METHODS A retrospective analysis of all cases of placenta previa managed at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from January 2001 to December 2013.    RESULTS The total number of deliveries was 55,862 deli...

Abnormal Placentation: Placenta Previa, Vasa Previa, and Placenta Accreta.

Placental disorders such as placenta previa, placenta accreta, and vasa previa are all associated with vaginal bleeding in the second half of pregnancy. They are also important causes of serious fetal and maternal morbidity and even mortality. Moreover, the rates of previa and accreta are increasing, probably as a result of increasing rates of cesarean delivery, maternal age, and assisted repro...

Conservative treatment of placenta previa.

Folding Sutures Following Tourniquet Binding as a Conservative Surgical Approach for Placenta Previa Combined with Morbidly Adherent Placenta

IntRoductIon The incidence of the morbidly adherent placenta has been increasing due to the increased rate of cesarean section. Life‐threatening hemorrhage is the major concern for the morbidly adherent placenta, and efficient bleeding control of lower uterine segment is critical to improve outcomes. When traditional conservative methods do not work, further surgical procedures should be attemp...
