Uterine emergencies. Atony, inversion, and rupture

D L Ripley. Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 1999 Sep.

Abstract

Uterine atony, inversion, and rupture are potentially fatal events that may occur in pregnancy. They are obstetric emergencies that require immediate attention. Although all women may experience these complications, identification or known risk factors allow the obstetric team to prepare for rapid diagnosis and intervention. This article includes management options to help prepare for these uncommon events.
