Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Placental Abruption
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of significant obstetric emergency based on sudden onset of severe pain, vaginal bleeding, and decreased fetal movement
- Potential for maternal and fetal compromise requiring urgent medical attention
- Time-sensitive condition requiring prompt evaluation and intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Placental Abruption (high probability)
2. Placenta Previa (less likely given pain)
3. Preterm Labor (possible but less likely given gestational age)
4. Uterine Rupture (less likely given previous uncomplicated pregnancy)

Required Actions:
- Dispatch of ground EMS with ALS capabilities
- Rapid transport to nearest hospital with obstetric services
- Maternal and fetal monitoring during transport
- Preparation for potential emergency C-section
