Uterine Rupture
Symptoms and Signs of Uterine Rupture
Symptoms and signs of uterine rupture include fetal bradycardia, variable decelerations, evidence of hypovolemia, loss of fetal station (detected during cervical examination), and severe or constant abdominal pain. If the fetus has been expelled from the uterus and is located within the peritoneal cavity, fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality increase significantly.
