General considerations Definition In placenta previa, the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment and located over the internal os. It constitutes an obstruction of descent of the presenting part. Main cause of obstetrical hemorrhage Incidence 0.24%-1.57%(our country)
General considerations • Definition In placenta previa, the placenta is implanted in the lower uterine segment and located over the internal os. It constitutes an obstruction of descent of the presenting part. • Main cause of obstetrical hemorrhage • Incidence 0.24%-1.57% (our country)
Etiology Uncertain High risk factors 1. maternal age: >35 years 2. multiparity: 85%-90% prior cesarean delivery: 5 times smoking
Etiology • Uncertain • High risk factors 1. maternal age: >35 years 2. multiparity: 85% - 90% 3. prior cesarean delivery: 5 times 4. smoking
Etiology Causes 1. Endometrial abnormality Scared or poorly vascularized endometrium in the corpus 2) Curettage, Delivery, cs and infection of endometrium Placental a normality Large placenta(multiple pregnancy), succenturiate lobe(副胎盘) 3. Delayed development of trophoblast

Manifestation Painless hemorrhage 1. The most characteristic symptom 2. Time: late pregnancy(after the 28th week) and delivery 3. Characteristics: sudden, painless and profuse Cause of bleeding Mechanical separation of the placenta from its implantation site, either during the formation of the lower uterine segment, during effacement and dilatation of the cervix in labor. Placentitis. Rupture of the venous in the decidua basalis

Diagnosis • History 1. Painless hemorrhage 2. At late pregnancy or delivery 3. History of curettage or CS
Diagnosis Signs 1. Abdominal findings 1) Uterus is soft, relaxed and nontender 2) Contraction may be palpated. 3) A high presenting part cant be pressed into the pelvic inlet. Breech presentation 4) Fetal heart tones maybe disappear(shock or abruption)
