Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Placental Abruption
Justification for F2 Classification:
- Vaginal bleeding and severe abdominal pain in a late-term pregnancy is a high-risk situation.
- Potential for fetal distress and maternal compromise.
- Requires prompt medical evaluation and intervention.

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Placental Abruption (high probability given presentation)
2. Placenta Previa (less likely given pain onset)
3. Preterm Labor (possible but bleeding is a more concerning symptom)
4. Uterine Rupture (less likely, no history of prior uterine surgery)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities.
- Rapid transport to nearest hospital with obstetric services.
- Monitor maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate if possible.
- Prepare for potential emergency C-section.

Final Diagnosis
