Aren't we compatible? Parts 3 & 4 of A Four Part MCQ About One Patient's Pregnancy

  • サマリー

  • Thanks for listening to the second episode of this 4 part series on one patient's pregnancy. 
    Listen to episode 3 first if you have not yet. 
    Remember to say your answers out loud and summarize the information you've heard to make this an active learning process. 

    Part 2
    Imagine now that we have the same otherwise healthy mother who presents at 25 weeks with sudden onset of vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, and high-frequency, low-intensity contractions every 3 minutes. Exam shows a tender and hard uterus. Her cervix is closed with a speculum exam. Fetal heart tracing is Category 1. CBC shows a slightly worse normocytic anemia, and antibody screen for Rh is still negative. What is the most likely diagnosis?


    1. Uterine rupture: 
    2. Placental abruption: Correct. Classic clinical presentation. In summary, presenting signs of placental abruption include
       
      • Sudden-onset vaginal bleeding, 
      • Abdominal or back pain,
      • High-frequency, low-intensity contractions, 
      • Rigid & tender uterus. 
    3. Sub-chorionic hemorrhage 
    4. Concealed uterine abruption


    Bonus Question! If this patient had no signs of bleeding, would the diagnosis still likely be placental abruption? 

    Part 3

    What is the next best step in management?

    Part 4
    At 28 weeks gestation, she was seen in the office for her regularly scheduled 28-week appointment, and as a part of screening at this time, her blood-work showed anti-D antibody titers are 1:32. What happened? 

    Soon we'll have the answers posted online so watch out for updates. 
    Thanks for listening!
