Today’s podcast, The Role of Legal Nurses in Placenta Accreta Cases, discusses a serious condition called placenta accreta. When this occurs, the placenta attaches to the uterus, causing major difficulties in the delivery of the infant. Nurse specialist Katie Roberts goes into depth about this medical condition.
While the condition is rare, it’s on the rise. Katie explains that cesarian sections and placenta previa are some of the risks for placenta accreta. Another risk factor is a pregnancy in which there have been no ultrasounds and sometimes no medical supervision at all. This prevents the obstetrician from preparing safely for the delivery.
A carefully planned delivery, often by cesarian section, involves a complete team of medical practitioners. A primary goal is to prevent excessive blood loss, and when deemed appropriate, to schedule the delivery in advance of the anticipated due date.
An LNC experienced in obstetrics can make a major contribution to the evaluation of a case involving placenta accreta. He or she can assess the medical personnel’s consideration of the risk factors and preparedness to prevent crises, as well as determining whether the optimal procedures were used.
Katie points out that, due in part to women becoming pregnant at increasingly older ages, the risk of placenta accreta correspondingly increases. That alone makes this a valuable podcast for you.
