Placenta previa and placenta accreta are important causes of serious fetal and maternal morbidity and even mortality necessitating hysterectomy. We report a case of total placenta previa with accreta in a 39-year-old female in the 32+2 weeks of pregnancy with successful delivery by cesarean. However, hysterectomy was performed to control postpartum hemorrhage.

Introduction. This is a case report of maternal and fetal death due to major hemorrhage of a patients with placenta previa/accreta in a concealed pregnancy. Bleeding is the leading cause of maternal mortality in obstetrics. Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important cause of maternal death. Placenta accreta is a severe complication involving an abnormal attachment to the uterine wall so that it cannot be easily separated from the uterus. Case report. Due to the fact that one part of the placenta is partially detached, while the other part has grown into the uterus, postpartum hemorrhage may occur with lethal outcome, unless the mother is hospitalized. Fetal death was caused by severe meconium aspiration. One way to prevent such complications is to support legal abortions. .

Morbidly adherent placenta is a major cause for massive obstetric hemorrhage, which leads to maternal morbidity and mortality. Most accepted hypothesis for etiology of placenta accreta spectrum is defect in the endometrial–myometrial interface which leads to failure of normal decidualization in the uterine scar, which allows abnormal deep infiltration of placental anchoring villi and trophoblast. Maternal morbidity and mortality can occur as a result of massive and sometimes life-threatening obstetric hemorrhage which often requires blood transfusion. It becomes exponential and life threatening when placenta previa is associated with placenta accreta spectrum. There are several risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum, most common being previous caesarian section. Antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta is highly desirable as outcomes are optimized when timely delivery occurs at a tertiary care facility accustomed to handle such cases. Here we are reporting six cases of placenta accreta spectrum managed by conventional and expectant way at our tertiary care hospital. Methods: Study was carried out in Government Medical College & Hospital, Nagpur. Case records of patients with placenta accreta syndrome between December 2019 and March 2020 were reviewed and analysed. Results: Six cases of placenta accreta syndrome were studied.100% patients had history of previous caesarean section, 5 patients had associated placenta previa. One out of six patients one had history of dilatation and evacuation for missed abortion.4 out of six underwent caesarean hysterectomy and 2 underwent conservative management with uterine preservation. Average blood loss was 2500 ml. Conservative management was successful in two patients. There was no maternal mortality in series. Conclusion : Among many risk factors, previous caesarean section is the most common. Therefore reducing rate of caesarean deliveries can reduce the prevalence of placenta accreta syndromes. Adherent placenta should be suspected in cases of previous caesarean with placenta previa, high parity, uterine curettage, and uterine surgeries.Conservative management should be reserved for selected patients. MRI is not mandatory for diagnosis of the condition.

Perdarahan postpartum merupakan salah satu penyebab utama kematian ibu selain penyakit kardiovaskuler. Diantara penyebab perdarahan post partum adalah plasenta akreta dimana insidennya semakin meningkat dari tahun ke tahun seiring dengan peningkatan jumlah persalinan dengan seksio sesarea. Kami laporkan dua kasus ibu hamil dengan plasenta akreta yang direncanakan tindakan seksio sesarea emergency yang dikelola dengan general anesthesia rapid sequence induction. Kasus pertama, perempuan berusia 31 tahun G3P1A1 usia kehamilan 36–37 minggu dalam persalinan, perdarahan antepartum ec plasenta previa totalis, plasenta akreta dengan hemodinamik stabil. Intraoperatif, perdarahan sekitar 7000 cc, dan diberikan transfusi 8 unit PRC, 4 unit WB, 4 unit FFP, dan 4 unit Tc. Pascaoperasi pasien dirawat di ICU, dan komplikasi yang terjadi produk drain abdomen sekitar 1900 cc bercampur darah. tidak ada komplikasi mayor lainnya, pasien pindah ruang rawat inap pada hari keempat pascaoperasi. Kasus kedua, perempuan berusia 40 tahun G3P2A0 usia kehamilan 37–38 minggu dalam persalinan, perdarahan antepartum ec plasenta previa totalis, plasenta akreta dengan hemodinamik stabil. Intraoperatif, perdarahan sekitar 9000 cc, dan dilakukan transfusi 8 unit PRC, 8 unit WB, 4 unit FFP, dan 4 unit Tc. Pascaoperasi pasien dirawat di ICU, dan. tidak ada komplikasi signifikan terjadi. Hari kedua pascaoperasi pasien pindah ke ruang rawat inap. Case Series: Anesthesia Management in Pregnant Woman with Placenta Accreta Planned for Caesarean Section Abstract Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity besides cardiovascular disease. Among the causes of postpartum hemorrhage is placenta accreta, where the incidence increases from year to year along with the increase in the number of cesarean delivery. We report two cases of pregnant women with placenta accreta planned for emergency cesarean section managed with general anesthesia rapid sequence induction. The first case, 31-year-old woman G3P1A1 36–37 weeks of gestation in labor, antepartum hemorrhage ec placenta previa totalis, placenta accreta with hemodynamically stable. During procedure, blood loss about 7000 cc, and given transfusion of 8 units of PRC, 4 units of WB, 4 units of FFP, and 4 units of Tc. In the end of procedure, the patient was transferred to intensive care unit, and complications that occurred around 1900 cc of abdominal drain product mixed with blood. After that, there were no other major complications, then the patient moved the ward on the fourth day. The second case, a 40-year-old woman G3P2A0 37–38 weeks of gestation in labor, antepartum hemorrhage ec placenta previa totalis, placenta accreta with hemodynamically stable. During procedure, blood loss about 9000 cc, and given transfusion of 8 units of PRC, 8 units of WB, 4 units of FFP, and 4 units of Tc. In the end of procedure, the patient was transferred to intensive care unit, and no significant complications happen. The second day after surgery the patient moved to the ward.

Mullerian duct anomalies may cause obstetric complications, such as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and placental adhesion anomalies. Uterine compression suture may be useful for controlling PPH (especially atony). In recent studies, uterine compression sutures have been used in placenta accreta. We report a case of PPH, a placenta accreta accompanying a large septae, treated with B-Lynch suture and intrauterine gauze tampon.

Indications for the use of transarterial embolization (TAE) for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) have been established. However, the efficacy of TAE for PPH complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) remains controversial. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of TAE for PPH complicated by DIC. A database review was conducted to identify patients who were treated with TAE for PPH at our hospital. TAE was performed in 41 patients during the study period. Effective hemostasis was achieved in all cases, but additional procedures, such as re-embolization or hysterectomy, were required in five patients (12.2%). The typical causes of PPH included uterine atony (18 cases), placenta previa (15 cases), amniotic fluid embolism (DIC-type) (11 cases), and placenta accreta spectrum (10 cases). The mean blood loss was 3836 mL. The mean obstetrical DIC and the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis DIC scores were 7.9 and 2.6, respectively. The efficacy of hemostasis was comparable between patients with and without DIC. However, the complete success rate of TAE was lower in patients with DIC as the condition worsened than that in non-DIC patients. Overall, TAE is effective as a minimally invasive treatment for PPH complicated by DIC.

Abstract Obstetric hemorrhage remains a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Many postpartum hemorrhages (PPHs) do not have identifiable risk factors; maternity units should therefore have obstetric hemorrhageprotocols in place for all parturients as every pregnancy has the potential to be complicated by hemorrhage. This review will examine the epidemiology of PPH as well as current recommendations for key elements in obstetric hemorrhage protocols. Recent advances in hematologic management of PPH will be also be reviewed, including: (1) recognition of hypofibrinogenemia as a risk factor for severe PPH, (2) use of antifibrinolytic therapy, and (3) strategies for fibrinogen replacement therapy.
