Diagnostics

Initial Assessment

Initial Impression: Suspected Placental Abruption
Justification for F2 Classification:
- High probability of significant maternal and fetal compromise based on symptoms
- Severe abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy
- Potential for rapid deterioration requiring urgent medical intervention

Differential Diagnoses:
1. Placental Abruption (high probability)
2. Placenta Previa (less likely given pain presentation)
3. Preterm Labor (less likely at 38 weeks, pain is severe and constant)
4. Uterine Rupture (less likely, no history of uterine surgery)

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