20
Q

Fetal complications of placenta abruption x3

A

Growth restriction
IUFD
Prematurity

21
Q

Define vasa praevia

A

Unprotected fetal vessels run between chorion and amnion passing through the cervical os

22
Q

2 types of vasa previa

A

Velamentous cord insertion
Bilobed placentas

23
Q

Painless pv bleeding after ROM

A

Vasa praevia

24
Q

Pathophysiology of placenta abruption

A

Rupture of decidual spiral artery and hemorrhage into decidual basalis
Hematoma splits decidual leaving thin layer adherent
Hematoma grows to lift and compress adjacent placenta > detachment
