Placental abruption, also called abruptio placentae, nursing NCLEX review on the symptoms, causes, treatment, and nursing interventions.
What is placental abruption? It's the detachment of the placenta from the uterine wall BEFORE the birth of the baby. Two types of abruptio placentae include a partial or total placental abruption.

When the placenta detaches before the birth of the baby, this can lead to complications that affect both the baby and mother. The baby may lose nutrients and oxygen delivery via the damaged placenta, and the mother could experience hemorrhage along with a life threatening conditions called DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).
Where should the placenta normally detach from the uterine wall? After the birth of the baby (the times vary but usually within 10-20 minutes after delivery of the baby)
