Placenta - Previa Case Presentation

Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta partially or fully covers the internal cervical os. There are different types based on the extent of coverage including total, partial, marginal, and low-lying. Vaginal bleeding is the main clinical feature and can be sudden, painless, and recurrent. Diagnosis is made using transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound. Management depends on gestational age and extent of placenta previa but may include bed rest, monitoring, or caesarean section to prevent complications like hemorrhage. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for signs of decreased cardiac output or tissue perfusion due to blood loss. The prognosis depends on whether interventions are able to prevent maternal

Implantation in the uterus,
🔽
Embryonic stage
🔽
Placent are arise from the tropoblast tissue
🔽
Insufficient blood
Placenta migrates to where there is sufficient blood supply
🔽
Placenta resides in the lower

Total ↗️Partial ↗️ Marginal ↗️Low lying


Clinical Features
Symptoms:
Vaginal Bleeding
👉 Sudden Onset
👉 Painless
👉 causeless
👉 Recurrent
Signs
✨General condition and anaemia proportionate to blood loss

✨ Abdominal examination
👉 height of uterus proportionate to gestational age
👉 Uterus feels soft and relaxed
👉 Mal presentation is common
👉 Fetal heart sound is usually present
Cont….
Vulval inspection.
👉bright red or dark colored bleeding
👉 Placenta is felt on lower segment
💥vaginal examination must not be done
Complication
Maternal Complication
During Pregnancy
 Malpresentation
 Premature labor
During Labor
 Early Rupture of membrane
 Cord prolapse
 Slow dilation of cervix
 Interapartum hemorrhage
 Operative interference
 PPH
During Puperium
 Sepsis
 Sub-Involution
 Embolism
Fetal Complication
Low birth weight
Fetal growth Restriction
Fetal Asphyxia
Birth Injuries
Congenital Malformation
Diagnostic Evaluation

Trans abdominal Sonography


Trans vaginal Sonography(TVS)
Trans Perineal Sonography
Color Doppler
MRI
Management
 Prevention
 Immediate management
 Expectant management
 Active management
 Nursing Management
Prevention
Regular Antenatal Care
Routine Ultrasound
Significance of warning haemorrhage
If bleeding at home
Put her on bed immediately
Assess for blood loss
Transfer mother to hospital
Immediate Attention
Note amount of blood loss
Take blood samples
Large bore cannulation & NS infusion
Gentle Abdominal Palpation
Inspection of Vulva
Schematic Management
CONTD..

Active management

Caesarean delivery
Placental edge is within 2 cm from the internal os: in this case no
internal examination is performed and caesarean section is considered as
the best choice.
Nursing Management
Nursing Diagnosis
  Decreased cardiac output related to blood loss as evidenced by increase in
heart rate.
 Ineffective tissue perfusion related to decrease in Hb% in blood as evidenced
by dyspnea.
 Deficient fluid volume related to Blood Loss as evidenced by vital signs
changes.
 Fear related to outcome of pregnancy as evidenced by facial expressions of the
mother or frequent questioning.
 Impaired fetal gas exchange related to decreased placental surface area as
evidenced by changed in FHS.
Prognosis
Maternal

Fetal
