Multidisciplinary Management of the Unplanned Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder (PASD) Patient

Description

Placenta accreta spectrum (PASD) is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy that is underdiagnosed and can result in massive hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation, massive transfusion, surgical injury, multisystem organ failure, and even death. Given the rarity and complexity, most obstetrical hospitals and providers do not have comprehensive expertise in the diagnosis and management of placenta accreta spectrum. Emergency management, antenatal interdisciplinary planning, and system preparedness are key pillars of care for this life-threatening disorder.

Learning Objectives

  • Integrate system preparedness for unplanned PASD cases in alignment with maternal designation standards.
  • Identify current best practices for intraoperative management of PASD.
  • Understand critical care strategies for massive hemorrhage, including the role of Whole Blood in improving outcomes.
