Description
Management of antepartum hemorrhage (APH) involves immediate assessment and resuscitation, followed by fetal monitoring and addressing the underlying cause through delivery or supportive care. Initial steps include stabilizing the mother (ABCDE approach), assessing maternal and fetal status, and performing an ultrasound to determine placental location. Management then shifts to monitoring, potential IV fluids and blood products if needed, and determining the need for immediate delivery (often by C-section), depending on the severity of bleeding, maternal compromise, and gestational age.
Objectives
Further management
Resuscitation and supportive care:
Establish intravenous (IV) access.
Administer IV fluids and oxygen.
Be prepared to administer blood products urgently.
Consider a Foley catheter to monitor urine output.
