Then depending upon the degree of bleeding, make a decision regarding if laparotomy is indicated. I would lean toward conservative management unless bleeding quite heavy. In addition, some are now studying the bladder following scar separation to assure that there are no injuries there. The big question will be what to do with the next pregnancy??? Lynn -- Lynn D.

This is the following case. A 27yold, had a normal delivery 10 days ago. She has a previous c-section 2 years ago. She arrives at the ER complaining of vaginal bleeding, and pain. On PE: abdomen: low intensity pain over suprapubic region. Epiotomy painfull, moderate bleeding. US: show a 5cm uterine gap, suggestive of uterine rupture. Free fluid in the abdominal cavity. I just order CBC, no signs of local or systemic infection.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
