    Glaucoma is a slowly progressive increase in intraocular pressure that, if left untreated, causes damage to the optic nerve resulting in peripheral vision loss, decreased visual acuity, and halos around lights. Wet eyes is not a symptom of visual sensory deficit, while open-angle glaucoma, cataracts, and presbyopia can all cause visual sensory deficits. Spontaneous abortions may be caused by embryonic/fetal problems in 50-60% of cases or maternal problems like infections, malnutrition, or medical diseases in 15-20% of cases. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta implants in the lower uterine segment and can cause bleeding in late pregnancy. It is classified as partial,

    NOTES RLE - Care of Mother, Child at Risk or with Problems (Acute and Chronic)

    A slowly progressive increase in intraocular pressure that, if left untreated, causes progressive pressure
    against the optic nerve, resulting in peripheral visual loss, decreased visual acuity with difficulty adapting
    to darkness, and a halo effect around lights.

    SPONTANEOUS ABORTIONPredisposing factors (spontaneous abortion): often unknown (20%-25%),


    May be associated with :
    a. Embryonic/fetal problems (50%-60%): disorganization of germ plasma, ovular defects,
    chromosomal aberration, faulty placental development
    b. Maternal problems (15%-20%): systemic infections, severe nutritional deprivation, abnormal
    pathological conditions of the reproductive tract, endocrine dysfunction, trauma, medical diseases

    PLACENTA PREVIAGeneral InformationDefinition: abnormal implantation of placenta in lower uterine


    segmentIncidence: 1 in 170 pregnancies; most common cause of bleeding in late
    pregnancyPredisposing factors: decreased vascularity of upper uterine segment, multiparity, scarring
    from prior surgery, use of cocaine
    Degrees of placenta previa 1. Partial: placenta partially covers the internal cervical OS2. Complete:
    placenta totally covers the cervical os (cesarean birth necessary)3. Low-lying or marginal: placenta
    encroaches on margin of internal cervical os
    Placental abnormalities in formation or implantation: associated with maternal bleeding during the third
    trimester or intrapartum period; hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality
    Medical intervention: diagnosis; blood and fluid replacement and cesarean birth if placental placement
    prevents vaginal birth of fetus

    ABRUPTIO PLACENTADefinition: premature partial or complete separation of normally implanted


    placenta; also known as accidental hemorrhage or ablatio placentae
    Incidence: 1 in 80 to 1 in 200 pregnancies
    Predisposing factors: pregnancy-induced hypertension, fibrin defects; associated with older
    multigravidasTypes a. Marginal (overt): evident external bleeding; placenta separates at marginb.
    Central (concealed): bleeding not evident or inconsistent with extent of shock observed; placenta
    separates at the centerMedical intervention: diagnosis; blood and fluids replacement; cesarean birth as
    necessary to save fetal or maternal lives
