Abruptio placenta and ultrasound diagnosis

I had a service patient who had a routine obstectric scan about 6 days ago and everything was normal and came to the hospital yesterday for bouts of diarrhea. The resident obstetrician checked the baby for fetal well being and the baby had fetal bradycardia. On emergency c-section they found out that there was an abruption placenta of about 50%. The APGAR Score of the baby was 0 and presently on ventilator.

My question is did I miss the abruptio or the diarrhea precipitated this event? I am trying to retrieve the films we took from the patient for review as we routinely take pictures of the placenta.

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.
