[Retroplacental hematoma overseas].

Serious complications may be found such as shock due to hypovolaemia, coagulopathy among which process of disseminated intravascular coagulation prevail, organic renal insufficiency that may become unrecoverable because of the cortical atrophy of the kidney. The treatment combines obstetrical means with medical ones. Spontaneous uterine voiding will be tried for, since caesarian operation, often unavoidable, is not free from complication. Rehydration will be carried out by transfusing fresh blood and unfrozen plasma, the amount of which often enormous has to be dealt out in accordance with the central venous pressure.
