Antepartum Hemorrhage

  • Chapter
Anesthetic and Obstetric Management of High-Risk Pregnancy

Summary

Hemorrhage in the obstetric cases occurs unexpectedly and potentially causes serious maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Various aspects of antepartum hemorrhage, current obstetric guidelines including nonsurgical and surgical interventions during obstetric hemorrhage, and special anesthetic considerations have been reviewed. Excellent critical care management minimizes postoperative morbidity and mortality after obstetric hemorrhage. A well-equipped labor and delivery operative suite staffed by expert obstetric, anesthesia, neonatal, and nursing teams leads to successful outcome for the mother and baby in obstetric hemorrhagic emergencies.
