Study Notes
Coagulation Disorders
- Fresh frozen plasma is rich in clotting factors such as fibrinogen, factor VIII, and von Willebrand factor, and is used to treat bleeding in patients with specific coagulation disorders.
Blood Plasma
- Albumin is a protein found in blood plasma and is used to expand intravascular volume in patients with hypovolemia or hypoalbuminemia.
Gynecological Terms
- Hysterectomy: surgical removal of the uterus.
Surgical Terms
- Sutures: involving the use of stitches to close wounds or repair tissues.
Obstetric Tears
- Cervical lacerations: tears or injuries to the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
- Vaginal lacerations: tears or injuries to the vaginal tissue, often occurring during childbirth.
- Perineal lacerations: tears or injuries to the perineum, the area between the vagina and the anus, often occurring during childbirth.
Uterine Problems
- Uterine inversion: a prolapse of the fundus of the uterus through the cervix so that the uterus turns inside out.
Bleeding Disorders
- Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC): a deficiency in clotting ability caused by vascular injury.
Postpartum Complications
- Subinvolution: the incomplete return of the uterus to its prepregnant size and shape, which may occur in any woman in the postpartal period, but is usually associated with premature separation of the placenta, a missed early miscarriage, or fetal death in utero.
